Find an emergency babysitter in Sunland, CA

*I have 15 months' experience as a nanny for a family Los Angeles. It was a positive, loving, respectful, and all-around fun household, and I was lucky to be a part of their family for so long! I cared for a girl and a boy (now aged 2 and 4) from 7am-4pm, Monday-Friday, driving them to and from preschool, took them to the library for story time, walked to the park with the double stroller, baked and cooked with them, worked with them in the vegetable garden, and provided consistency with the family's potty training approach. I also facilitated mealtimes, naptime, and often bathtime and bedtime as well. I adopted the family's conflict resolution strategies as my own, because they work well for everybody involved. (Stopped when I moved.) *In 2016-17, I was a part-time sitter for a 10-/11-year old girl with ADHD (I have ADHD too, so it was easy to empathize with her and practice strategies.) I picked her up from after-care, made dinner, helped with homework, and tried my best to be a positive presence in her life. (Stopped when her family moved.) ~ About me ~ *I am upbeat, curious, and try to practice empathy with all the humans I meet. *I am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, so I'm happy to support your family in eating well (whatever that means for you—I'm not judgy!), e.g., helping cook/meal prep/etc. (If you'd like personalized nutrition support, we can arrange a separate consultation). *I have 2 rescue dogs and love dog walking, so I'd be happy to care for your pups, too! *I studied Biology and graduated in 2012 (Occidental College, LA, CA), then traveled a lot: walking a 400-mile pilgrimage in Spain, a mission trip to Haiti, and volunteering on organic farms in Japan and the UK. *I spent the summer of 2014 as a tour guide in the southwest US National Parks for French-speaking tourists. *In 2014-15 I was a certified Wilderness First Responder, including Pediatric and Adult CPR/First Aid training. ~ My approach with kids ~ *I like singing songs and lullabies, either the old standards or sometimes improvised lyrics that suit the situation ;) I love Raffi and other silly songs, plus some Disney soundtracks—Mary Poppins, Moana—and whatever else happens to be in my mental jukebox that day. (And though everyone else is sick of "Baby Shark," I still enjoy it!) *Kids and nature are made for each other: I will try and spend as much time outside as possible. *I would also enjoy teaching your children my favorite French nursery songs!
