Background: I have taught in preschool settings all around the LA area for about 9 years now with primarily the 2-5 age range. My background is in child development which I’ve studied in college. I got into the field when I interned at a local family resource center where I organized lesson plans and play groups for infants and toddlers. I consider myself a lifelong learner and study the Reggio Emilia approach and RIE philosophy with a passion as it tends to inspire my provocations. I am currently a part time teacher at a child development center in Ventura, California - that focuses on nature-based learning, also known as the outdoor classroom approach. I also have some previous full/part time nannying experience (with infants/toddlers). About Me: I enjoy going to coffee shops, hitting the gym, lap swimming, walking my dog, baking and traveling to tropical places! I speak fluent English and Spanish Fine Print: •4 hour minimum per booking •Short Notice Cancellation Fee: 50% of booking total if cancelled within 24hrs of start time. •If anyone in your household has been sick within 72 hours of booking, please cancel said booking.

Hi there, My name is Caity, I’m 25 years old and am currently working at a preschool here in Ventura. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have about 5 years experience in childcare and have been babysitting since I was 15 years old :) I am CPR and first aid certified and also have experience in animal care as well.
