A little bit about me

I am originally from San Diego but moved to Boise, Idaho for college. On May 4th, I will have graduated with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education and a certification to teach grades K-8, as well as an endorsement in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I definitely have a passion for teaching and learning and love to foster a love for learning and discovery in the students I teach! I consider myself very compassionate, creative, and active. As a nanny, I love to be outside, get crafty, and go on adventures! When I’m not at school or with my friends, you can find me sewing, gardening, at the beach, hiking, or tinkering with a new diy project :).

A little bit about me

Family is one of the most important things to me. Growing up in a huge family full of children, it was only natural that I wanted to pursue a career working with children. For the past 2 years, I have worked as a substitute teacher and a teacher's assistant at UH Manoa's CRDG Summer Programs. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in both Human Development and Family Studies, as well as Sociology in hopes of becoming a social worker one day. For the last 8 years, I have worked with a variety of children from the ages of newborn to 17 years. While babysitting, I enjoy engaging in educational activities and crafts, helping with homework, and playing a variety of indoor and outdoor games. My babysitting skills include bathing and dressing, changing diapers, organizing bedrooms/toys, light housekeeping, running errands, and driving children to and from different places. As a babysitter, my goal is to create and promote a safe and stimulating learning environment for children of all ages.

A little bit about me

I love my job.
I Think children are the most important part of our world and if we give them love and attention, then possibly they will be a generation full of love. That way we could have a better world for every all and especially for them. That is why we have the obligation of building a better life for them.
I am an amused and a joker person. I like to play and to have fun with the kids, to explore the world; from a little animal to a big tree, everything around us, to impulse their creativity and their curiosity, to discover together the natural world.
Being a nanny is a big responsibility. The parents trust me with their greatest treasure, That I really appreciate . I think the love kids give me doesn't have any price . I enjoy playing with them, learning from them and teaching them. we learn together.
My heart is happy, because since the first kids I took care of, until the last ones, I still have contact .kids of all ages from babies to teenagers, and all are fabulous.
