I've been working in childcare since 2001, with ages from neonatal to up to 14 years old. I have a bachelor's degree in early childhood education, and have worked alongside industry leaders such as The Goddard School, Montessori, and Primrose. I've enjoyed working with families of all cultures and different languages, which has enabled me to further develop my childcare methods. I aim to stimulate their imagination, influencing them to take on tangible hands-on projects and watching their creativity flow! Painting is one of my favorite activities, alongside reading. I've found it very productive and beneficial to work with an "open door policy" to best align parents' wants and child's needs into our curriculum!

Hi, my name is Colette. I am 19 years old. I have my driver's license, and I am entering my second year of University. I currently attend La Sierra University, where I am majoring in Nursing. My first year of University I spent in Seville, Spain, studying abroad. There, I had the opportunity to work with kids and teach them English. Specfically I worked with first and third graders.

In addition to caring for children, I am happy to help with light household tasks, follow any routines or instructions provided by parents, and run errands if needed for the family.
