Find an emergency babysitter in Palo Alto, CA

As an aunt and caregiver, I love working with families and their children! I have worked as a day camp counselor, swim teacher, newborn and young child nanny, as well as volunteer with programs like Jasper Ridge Farm and CASA. My favorite part about working with kids and babies is getting to know their individual personalities, as each one is so different! I particularly enjoy and excel at working with kids under the age of five, including newborns and infants. I would say my general approach is to provide fun, creative, and engaging care, with *a lot* of patience and communication. I also believe in gently reaffirming boundaries and doing our best to stick to your child's individual routine. I hope to promote a sense of confidence, creativity, and security in the children I provide care for. I have been infant CPR certified within the last 2.5 years, and will be renewing asap. I have also been lifeguard certified and am more than happy to get re-trained if your child has access to a private pool.

I have two younger siblings as well, who I often watch and take care of. I have lots of experience with pets - I have two cats, who I am the primary caretaker for, and I have experience dog-sitting. In the summers I work as a sleep-away camp counselor. I am friendly, patient, and responsible. I can speak both English (native speaker) and Spanish (proficient).
