Find infant babysitters in Dixon, CA

I worked as a Taekwondo Instructor from freshman to senior year of high school. As an Instructor, I began assisting classes around age 10 to which by age 15 I was permitted to teach my own classes and create unique lesson plans for the day. My job was to tailor an engaging curriculum each day for students with a range of learning styles, disabilities, strengths and weaknesses. I often experiment and designed new drills to accommodate my vast audience ranging from as old as three to as young as seventy-eight. I also volunteered and coordinated the Taekwondo summer camp program where parents were able to drop off their kids and we would have a whole day planned filled with fun activities, snacks, nap time, and arts and crafts. I also recently completed an internship through the UC Davis PEDS Infusion Center. During my spring and summer quarter shifts, I would provide one-on-one bedside support through age-appropriate play and therapeutic art activities to help pediatric patients process treatment related anxiety. I would also relieve some of the parents so they were able to take a quick break while I watched and engaged with their child as they were getting their treatment done. Some examples were holding and soothing their baby, playing cards or board games, or participating in coloring and art therapy. I was also responsible for cleaning, sanitizing, and organizing toys, to maintain infection prevention standards for immunocompromised patients.

I have some variety in the early childhood development locations that I have had the privilege to work in. La Petite academy and Sunshine playschool are more play based and child led, while Guidepost is a Montessori school. At La petite, we had more guidance in terms of the activities that the students were taking part in, and it was so fun to plan out. At sunshine playschool, we spent the days outside. Kaitlin and Meghan feel very strongly about a child-led program, so we were always paying attention to each child and what they were interested in learning about. We tailored the curriculum specifically to them, as well as taking their developmental processes and learning outcomes in mind. Guidepost is my first Montessori school, and I have definitely learned a lot. I really appreciate the self-sufficiency skills that the philosophy holds, and allowing the children to explore learning at their own pace. I also have experience in babysitting: Managed schedules to ensure that children stayed consistent with routines (including meals, various activities, bedtime, etc) Provided care for children ranging from ages 2-10 Quickly addressed and resolved any issues that arose Engaged children in activities to promote literacy skills, as well as other forms of development Communicated effectively with parents to provide updates and address concerns

My name is Madelyn and I am a 4th year History major/Education minor at UC Davis. I am from Sacramento. I am primarily offering babysitting services but I am also open to house care or errand services as well. I have worked in childcare at Davis Community Church for a year and a half. Beyond this, I am an intern in a first grade classroom two days a week and have regularly babysat twins from when they were around 9 months old to now, at 4. I want to go into teaching and love babysitting all ages. I tend to be pretty mellow and love to play educational games and do creative activities like crafts with children. I am in my last year of UC Davis undergrad and currently work as a tour guide on campus, which I take pride in. I think my strengths are my excitement and desire to try new things. I am open to exploring whatever works out on a personal level!

I have several years of experience caring for children, both through my family and professionally. I have cared for younger family members from a young age, and I worked for about a year with a child on the autism spectrum, assisting with meals, homework, daily routines, and stimulating activities. I have also provided after-school care for children ages 5–6, helping with homework, playing games, planning activities, and teaching Spanish. I am patient, responsible, caring, and enjoy creating a fun and comfortable environment for children. I am fluent in Spanish and currently study Human Development at UC Davis. I also enjoy swimming, hiking, and outdoor activities, and would be happy to plan walks and age-appropriate activities with the children I care for.

I’ve been a nanny since I was fourteen years old, caring for children ages newborn-12 years. Full days and some overnight. I’m originally from Sonoma county and live in Solano County. I’m a second year student at SFSU studying Cinema and Early childhood development. I come from a big family and I’ve always loved children and working with them! I enjoy movies, music, cooking, and outdoor adventures. I hope to work with your family!
