Hello! I am currently a special education extensive needs Para Educator in a middle school SPED classroom with the Sacramento County of Education (SCOE). I have 5 years experience as a lead preschool teacher. I worked as a French immersion preschool teacher at the International School of San Francisco, where I work with kids between 4-5 years old. This is a Prek-12th French immersion IB school. I have experience as a French immersion preschool teacher at Au Beau Séjour French Preschool in Oakland, working with ages 3-4. I have experience as a Preschool Teacher at Acorn to Oak in Sacramento, working with ages 3-5. This school followed Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf philosophies. I have nanny / babysitting experience with ages 6mo - 10 (I have experience babysitting 1 - 4 child families). I grew up with younger twin siblings that I loved helping taking care of. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and have 43.5 Early Childhood Education Units with a certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have a Bachelor of Fine Art and am passionate about art and creativity, which I find very valuable when working with kids. I love nature (I have chickens, a turkey and rabbits at home). I speak French and Spanish (I have experience teaching in French). I have a good driving record. In my teaching/caring, I am passionate about kindness, creativity and learning through play.

Booked by 1 family in Carmichael, CA

I've been my family and friend's go-to when they need someone to take care of their kids and I'm ready to do the same for you! I'm prior military and pursuing school so looking to supplement my income with babysitting/nanny duties. I love kids, and they love me too. I was the neighborhood's big brother growing up, and I enjoy taking care of them. Even out in public, I tend to make babies smile and chat with kids.
