I have experience with singletons, multiples and children in group setting of up to 20.
I love children and I enjoy spending time and interacting with them.Im a loving caring and nurturing individual, and I'm also trustworthy and reliable. I believe in creating a positive, safe and happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organization and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny.
Furthermore, I am first aid, CPR and AED certified. Ive also completed an NCSA approved Newborn care specialist course with Gentle Ventures. I am a non- smoker and posses a current California drivers license and a reliable vehicle. I have wonderful references from previous and current employers to back up my work history.
I have been a parent for 29 years and have 3 children, ages range from 13yrs to 29yrs old. I was also a Preschool /Jr. K teacher for over 11yrs. So, including my professional career and personal life, I have 28 years of experience all together. Let me just say that working with children and adults is a passion of mine, it's warms my heart knowing I can make a difference in someone's life. Personally I feel that children are the most precious gift we are given and it is our duty to teach, protect and love them unconditionally, whether it's our own child(ren) or someone Else's child. I am also a qualified Medical Assistant with CPR & first aid training. It makes a difference when you know your child(ren) is in the care of someone that can implement a wide range of stability within your home and the care of your loved one(s).
Although I do not have very much experience, I did work in the dental field helping kids of all ages get through procedures, including two and three year olds up to teens. I especially enjoyed working with kids with special needs as well, and interacting with infants.
I may not have the years of experience under my belt, but I do have some perks of my own. I am cpr certified, arts and crafts are my bread and butter, kids take to me very well, I do have a liscense and a vehicle, I'm very weary about the amount of tech time, so you can be sure with me that screen time will be limited. As a kid myself I struggled in school especially in reading, I understand first hand how frustrating it feels to be behind. I have a lot of patience, but I have even more patience to help the children get through assignments because I know that that's exactly what I needed to get through tough times elementary school.
When I first started working in pediatric dentistry, I was incredibly nervous since I hadn't worked with children before, however I found out it's my calling. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your family.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in San Jose, CA
Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your children’s needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.
