A little bit about me

Reliable, friendly, patient marketing professional and mother of a 21-year-old college student. Looking for occasional care jobs while searching for a flexible corporate job. As a mom of a child who went to Montessori, public school, and University (opera), I chaperoned choir trips to Europe, music lessons, and kids' theater. I have a BA in Literature from UC Irvine, lived in Germany for a year, and speak some German and French. For 25 years, I've managed sales, marketing, events, and websites related to music, education, tech, and retail for corporate and family businesses, so I’m a good multitasker and calm under pressure. I was a sitter in my teens, including autistic children. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. Happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, chaperoning zoom lessons, transportation, and shopping (I am a Costco member). My SUV seats 7 (or 5 with groceries and a stroller). Passed Red Cross Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I was a babysitter through high school and college, raised a 21-year-old, chaperoned several school trips, and have three awesome nephews.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy arts and crafts, going for walks, reading, and learning new languages together.

My experience with special needs children...

In high school, I worked with autistic children and adults at Independent Peer Socialization Training Program (IPSTP). I interacted with developmentally disabled clients to model age-appropriate skills and behavior. Specific, measurable, time-limited goals and objectives were designed for each client in order to pinpoint and address specific deficiencies. Emphasis was placed on the acquisition of social and independent living skills.

The most important part about being a nanny...

An autistic 10-year-old child loved sound, so I took him to parks and on walks to explore places he could use his voice and clapping in tunnels and caves. He couldn't speak with words, only sounds, but the joyful look in his eyes when it would echo was wonderful. I feel he was really expressing himself. I'll never forget him.
