Note : Urbansitter changed my profile name from “Amy” to my official name HongMei. Please call me Amy. I have been vaccinated for Covid and just had my Flu shot. Sept 2021 UPDATE : Returning to child care after 18 months off due to COVID. Available MON & FRI from 8-6pm. Early Mornings, Evenings, and Weekends remain on a case-by-case basis. 1. CHILD CARETAKER: * I absolutely love kids. I’m one of those "born to be a child caretaker" type of women. I have been taking care of children since before my boys (5 & 7) were born. Once my boys started school full-time, I began increasing my hours. We relocated to my husband’s parents home in Rhode Island during Covid. We returned to LA to start the new school year, and I’m returning to child care full time. * I provide parents with the confidence their child(s) are safe, happy, and well cared for. Previously through word-of-mouth, I've aggressively used UrbanSitter since August. * I’ve babysat months-old infants, supervised older children, and everywhere in-between. I had a live-in Nanny when both my sons were born. From this experience, I learned 1st hand how an extra pair of hand can save a new-mom’s sanity. * Difficult and/or active kids are no issue. I’ve never found a child whom didn’t respond well to my care. My husband and I have NEVER spanked our children. Timeouts, communication, & firm directions are more than adequate to correct a child's behavior. I’m very patient & understanding with all children. 2. SAFETY: * I grew up with traditional Chinese medicine, and learned western medicine through my husband's family (doctors). * I took First Aid & CPR classes in 2013, and in the process of being re-certified * I look forward to keeping your child(s) safe, happy, and engaged until you return home. 3. AVAILABILITY : * YOUR home: WEEKDAYS : M-F 8am - 6pm. EVENINGS & WEEKENDS : Case-by-case basis. * MY home : 24/7. We have a guest bedroom also used as a kid’s playroom. I babysit some of my regulars at my home. Welcome to random last-minute inspections, our home is both VERY child friendly, and always spotless. 4. ABOUT ME : * I am 41 years old, from China, and moved to the USA in 2015. My husband is from Rhode Island, and we have been married since 2008. * We raise our boys in a multi-cultural home. I’m therefore cognizant, and empathetic towards differing views of raising children. I
