Hello, I recently moved to Houston! I have over 10 years of childcare experience. I currently graduated from UC Berkeley with my Masters Degree in Social Work with the concentration in Strengthening Children, Youth, and Families. I worked in two different daycares around Berkeley. As a student assistant, I've worked with various age groups, changed diapers, assisted with feedings, created fun activities to help with motor skills, helping with nap time, reading to the kids, preparation of meals, stimulating projects and many more. I have been a nanny and babysitter to many different families with children ages 0-9 helping them with house chores, taking children to and from school, playing games, doing laundry, cooking dinner and assisting with homework. I also worked in a therapeutic preschool where I supported children in emotional regulation, communication, and prosocial skills. I am CPR/First Aid certified, a certified Doula, and hold proficient fluency in Read more Sign Language.
