Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am available on a limited basis please send me a DM, thank you! Extensive experience as a nanny Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both are college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. I have 10+ years, of professional experience. In the last four years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and of nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.
Hello, I’m Alyssa. I am 36, I currently work as a lead 3/4 year old teacher through UCSF. I have over a decade of experience babysitting and nannying through urbansitter and I have 4 years of experience teaching in a preschool classroom. I have a double major in Human Development (BS) and Psychology (AB) from UC Davis. I also possess an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and 8 Associate of Arts degrees. I have current infant first aid and CPR certification as well as trust line (fingerprinting) certification. My upbringing prepared me for a career in childcare. I was raised the oldest female of thirteen cousins and often helped cook, change diapers, and care for my younger cousins with my grandmother every day after school. Caring for children from a very early age helped equip me with a variety of tools to approach children with patience, creativity, warmth, and kindness that I employ every day when I work with children. While I was in college, I nannied with children 1-on-1 for 7 years and I worked as a library aide for 5 years. In the past I volunteered for 8 years coaching volleyball and basketball to 3rd-8th graders, and volunteered for 2 years as a 1st grade English tutor. I began babysitting when a family from work asked me to help watch their three children. I also have lots of experience watching twins and their sibling simultaneously. You can probably tell from my extensive schooling background that providing quality education is one of my core beliefs. It is vitally important for me to contribute to shaping children’s growing minds in environments that are supportive, constructive, and open to letting children try different approaches to learning where they are allowed to fail and grow from their mistakes. I love encouraging literacy, teaching through songs, scaffolding how to try new things on the playground, creating art projects, and incorporating gross motor activity to stimulate retention in the classroom. Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you soon! I have a 24 hour cancellation policy - I will charge 50% for the cancelled booking with less than 24 hours notice. I have multiple references for cat, dog, reptile, and house sitting. I also have references for doing overnight care & before/after school drop-off.
Hello- My name is Michelle. I am currently a live-in nanny for a family in Alamo. I am looking for extra babysitting jobs on Friday nights (after 6:00 p.m.,) anytime on Saturday and an occasional Sunday (as my current job will permit.) I will always keep my calendar current. The children I care for are 13, 11 and 8 years old. I have been a nanny for this family for over twelve years. I have 18+ years of childcare experience plus I am the oldest of 5 children so I have cared for my nieces and nephews as well. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide you with. I love caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all different kinds of things with the children. I am willing to travel anywhere in the Bay Area. I am fully vaccinated and received all boosters for COVID. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide to you at your request. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.
