I also do household duties such as cleaning, running errands, cooking. I am fluent in english/spanish. I also have experience working with pets as well!

Hi, I’m Dominique! I’ve been babysitting since I was 12 and became a full-time nanny at 17, caring for three families over three years. My experience includes getting kids ready for school, preparing lunches, school drop-offs and pickups, homework help, activities, and keeping a safe and fun environment. I also helped care for my three younger siblings and have experience caring for pets and helping families with light cleaning and household tasks. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a Director in senior living communities, which has strengthened my patience, communication, organization, and caregiving skills. I’m dependable, caring, and love helping families feel confident that their children are in good hands!
Hi I am looking for a part-time weekend job or weekday evening jobs! I have experience with infants and toddlers for over 4 years now but I have been babysitting since the age of 12 ! I speak English and Spanish and love to do fun activities out doors. I also am a full qualified infants and toddler teacher, cpr trained, fully vaccinated and I have my own transportation. Specifically have worked in Montessori settings. My goal is to create a safe and neutering environment for kiddos and their families! I’m most known for my outgoing and caring personality and cannot wait to share so much love and care!
I have been a preschool teacher for 5 years and it's my dream job. Working with children is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. In addition to my experience, I have 30 units of college coursework in Early Childhood Education. I've worked with both adults and children with learning and behavioral differences and am kind, compassionate, and nurturing. As a mom of two teenagers, I know how hard it is to trust someone to take care of your children. I have excellent references from 4 different preschools including a nature school, Waldorf preschool, and the Multicultural Children's Center here in Santa Rosa. I am currently a teacher at a large family farm and daycare. I am comfortable taking care of animals. Cats, dogs, farm animals...I love them all! In my spare time, I love to get outside and hike and swim. I'm an avid concert/theater goer as well. I hope to hear from you!
