Find a babysitter in Elmira, CA

Iam a responsible and caring babysitter who has a background in performing arts, meaning I have a strong knack for creativity as well as lots of patience for activities. It is quite easy for me to engage with kids in terms of storytelling or imaginative play. I would have course prioritize the safety of the kids, but ensure that we are still expressing ourselves in a creative manner. I have been babysitting for 5 years, and I have babysat anywhere from infant children, to children in elementary school. I have been teaching and helping children with homework since then as well. I enjoyed babysitting because eventually when I have a more professional job, I want to be a child psychologist as I love working with children and providing whatever support I can.

A bit about me: I am a preschool teacher at Good Shepherd Lutheran School in Novato, and have been working there for 4 years now. I work daily with children ages 2-4. I am graduating this spring with an AS degree in Child and Family Studies from Napa Valley College, and I am CPR and First Aid certified. Prior to teaching, I also have several years of experience babysitting children ages 0-10, including babysitting for individual families, and providing childcare for large groups of children at events. I love working with children and am fascinated by the process of their development! Their little minds are absolutely intriguing. I love to play and experiment alongside them, and my approach to discipline and teaching is very much based in authoritative parenting style (aka gentle parenting) and play-based learning. If you have any questions, please ask! I know how important it is to leave your little ones with someone you can trust!

Hi! My name is Mandy and I am a junior at UC Davis, studying Human Development. I am offering child care for children of all ages. It has been my dream since I was young to eventually work with children and babysitting might be one of the best jobs I've ever taken on! I've only recently began babysitting professionally about a year ago. So far I've only babysat children from the ages of 2 to 10, but really I've been babysitting since I became an aunt when I was 12! I aspire to become an educator. I've recently worked at a preschool for a year and a half, working with children from 18 months to 5 years of age and children with special needs (Autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, and deaf/hard of hearing). Outside of my experience with babysitting and teaching at a preschool, I have volunteered at an annual summer with children ranging from kindergarten to the 6th grade since I was 12. Since beginning my volunteering at the summer camp, I've worked my way up from being a TA to becoming a main teacher responsible for teaching children arts and crafts!

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I currently live in Benicia, California. I recently graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and will be pursuing my Master's over the next year. In the meantime, I'm looking to nanny and would love to support a great family! I have very flexible hours and am certified in both First Aid and CPR. I have over eight years of experience working with children of all ages and truly love what I do. I have previously worked as an Assistant Daycare Teacher, where I focused on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment while working closely with parents to support each child's individual needs. I have also spent my summers working at a baseball camp for toddlers, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids active, engaged, and entertained. I always aim to make kids feel happy, safe, and and cared for. I'd love the opportunity to help out your family!
