I'm an experienced childcare provider with a passion for nurturing children's growth and development. My 20 years of experience, starting with babysitting, have taught me how to best care for children. I'm patient, calm, imaginative, friendly, and approachable, and I communicate with parents regularly about their child's day and any issues that arise. My educational background includes a graduate degree in counseling and I'm certified in both First Aid and CPR. I have experience working as a psychiatric clinician at a Children's Crisis Intervention Unit for the past 5 yrs and have been a nanny and babysitter for several families in the past. I also obtain a bachelor's degree in Art. I speak and write Spanish as well. I'm happy to follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules, and I enjoy playing all types of games with children, from outdoor sports to board games and educational games. I'm comfortable Read more caring for one or 2 children at a time and l'm eager to meet your family and learn more about your childcare needs. I am willing and happy to provide my full and complete resume and list of referrals upon request.
