I love being a sitter because I know parents like myself always need the help of good hearted people. It takes a good village to raise a child & I’m willing to raise mine and any others with my love. I love spending quality time with children teaching basic needs such as education/toileting/manners/to care, preparing meals, doing activities, learning new things and etc. I love bonding with children and watching their development/growth. Being a nanny makes a difference in the world and homes for hard working parents. The experience that I have is having 2 children of my own ages 2 & 5. My youngest is developmentally delayed and it teaches me so much patience & learning so many more things about a child with all the therapies, neurologist, doctors, connections and his condition which has been a great journey to watch him progress everyday from the beginning til now Read more with a lifetime to go. . Early childhood education, child development, infant care, prepare and serve healthy meals, and take trips such as the zoo, museums, local parks, grocery stores, and etc. The skills I have are communication, child development, creativity, child care, cooking, problem solving, patience, multitasking, adaptability, clean record even driving, kindness, organization, homework, meal preparation, & more. I have 2 energetic boys that are 5 year old that’s in karate & is in kindergarten. My 2 year old is in early head-start that’s developmentally delayed but he’s done a great 360 in his journey by me putting him in occupational, physical, and developmental therapy plus early head-start since 8 months with porter leath. I enjoy daily activities, extra curricular, trips, loving, preparing meals together, watching kiddy shows/movies and teaching them the things they need to learn. I love to cook, juice fruits/veggies, and make herbal teas/medicines. I also have 5 years experience being a caregiver/taker with the elderly and take care of my grandmother till this day. I’m available every other weekend full time including any overtime along with that following Monday so every other Friday-Monday I’m available full/any time (co parent with their dad til Tuesday pick up from school), weekdays I’m available 9am-2:30pm because their school pick up times are 3 & 3:15pm.
