I enjoy interacting and nurturing children’s growth and development because they are filled with curiosity, joy, wonder, love, and appreciation for learning from their trusted caregivers about the world. I am filled with gratitude for the 60+ children I built relationships with at Ellis Early Learning and I learned that I do love caring for children and supporting their growth. I am amazed at children’s brilliance and how I can support their physical and emotional development with each day. When caring for and teaching children, I am reminded of these powerful quotes on education and teaching that I carried with me in my interactions with the children: (1) Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela. (2) The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves. - Paulo Freire On a formal note, I most recently received my teacher certification from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care for preschool and infants/toddlers along with other certifications: First Aid/CPR, Trauma and Resilience for Early Childhood Educators, and Early Childhood and Care Essentials. I worked in an Early Childhood Education apprenticeship in Boston, where I was placed at Ellis Early Learning for 8 months and I aced Child Growth and Development at Urban College of Boston. Overall, I am excited to meet with you and learn how I can support the needs of your growing family in a babysitting capacity.

Hi! My name is Yarelli. I’m 31 years old and starting my fifth year working at a middle school on the Peninsula as an Executive Assistant to the Principal. I’m a Redwood City local and currently live in Belmont with my husband and our dog. I’m also a proud SF State alum—Go Gators! I have 10+ years of experience working with children ages 2 months to 15 years old. I’ve worked in preschools, after-school programs, summer camps, as a nanny, and as a mother’s helper. I’m also the oldest of seven girls, including two sets of twins! My youngest sisters are 9-year-old twins. I also have 10+ years of pet care experience, including house sitting, dog sitting, and cat sitting. I grew up around dogs, mostly Pit Bulls, and currently have an 8-year-old rescued Chocolate Lab/Weimaraner, Beau, who I trained myself. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and available evenings, weekends, and occasional days off. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to help! Yarelli
