Booked by 21 families in Montara, CA

Hi! My name is Leticia, and I have several years of hands-on childcare experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter since I was in high school and truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. In addition to babysitting, I have experience substitute teaching at a Montessori Preschool, where I helped create a positive and engaging learning environment in the absence of the lead teacher. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as 2 Associate’s degrees in Psychology and Social & Behavioral sciences where I’ve taken early childhood education courses including child development and developmental psychology. I also have experience with children with diverse needs, including autism and ADHD. I’m skilled in coordinating schedules, helping with homework, preparing meals, managing bedtime routines, school drop-offs/pick-ups, and overnight care. I’m a very patient, attentive, and nurturing caregiver who enjoys engaging children in a variety of activities including arts and crafts, magna tiles, legos, and outdoor activities (ex: tag and playing at the park). I prioritize safety, clear communication with parents, and routines where children can thrive in. In my free time, I work with feral cats as well as socialize kittens. This is a huge passion of mine as I love animals and have quite a few pets myself. I would love the opportunity to support your family, thank you for considering my application and I look forward to speaking with you!
