I am an older sister so growing up I would act as the second mom and be very protective over my little sister. In general growing up I was always one of the oldest kids with family friends and just family in general. I was raised surrounded by kids and that is really where I grew the love for them and especially the patience for them. I am such a happy fun, loving and loud person to where I keep the kids entertained or if they get bored I just make up random games on the spot and have some fun. In my first 3 years of high school I coached one of the local youth cheer teams. I worked with ages 4-12 in this role. This past summer before I moved here for school and now I am a seasonal worker I am an employee at Carmel Valley Ranch. I work at the kids camp there. It basically is a everyday day care center where it is a play room where we do crafts, read books, play games, and take the kids outside to enjoy the fresh air. With this and young kids having fun we do clean up the room a good amount of times during the day. With being surrounded by kids through out my whole life I am not studying to go into education for the ages 1st-3rd.
My name is Chantelle and I have a lifetime of skills to share with you and your family. I have successfully single mommied an amazing son and companioned 3 dogs through their long lives. I am a working artist who has recently moved back to Sacramento and is currently without child or pet in my home and am looking to help care for others. My qualifications are: a background in early childcare, taught at and managed preschools, provided before and afterschool care, private tutoring and art lessons, 9 years experience in the natural foods industry working with diet, nutrition and alternative healing, 14 years in catering and food service and I am great in the kitchen. I have recently been working as a family helper for the past 6 years for both a young family with a neurodivergent child and an elderly couple. I have a deep love for animals, gardening and am very time efficient and highly organized. If you feel we might be a match then please reach out…I look forward to connecting with you.
