I absolutely adore being around children. I am comfortable with all age groups starting from infantry to adolescence. I have plenty of experience being around them as I used to be a babysitter in my early teen years. My tasks for my families included cooking, nap time, playtime, homework help, housework, physical activity, etc.. I was also an afterschool teacher at an elementary school in California this past year before moving to Washington. I provided students with English, math, history, and science homework. I also created a few games, both indoor and outdoor to help keep my students engaged and interacted with each other. My favorite part of my jobs as watching the children grow and accomplish their learning tasks. Assisting them when needed and watching them not need my help was the best feeling. My students felt safe, heard, and free to share their feelings and experiences and I Read more loved creating that safe space for them to be themselves and explore life. But, it’s not all fun and games; my students knew that we had a friend/authoritative relationship. They knew that I can be their friend only as long as they respected the rules and were respectful themselves. I love teaching kids the fundamentals and offer homework help. If a child isn’t in school yet, we will spend majority of our time learning their age level educational activities. I don’t believe in too much screen time as it hinders a child’s creativity, attention span, and communication skills. I also believe a child should be eating mostly clean, healthy, and nutritious foods. Physical activity will be part of our daily routine to help keep active. Naps are also crucial on a young one’s mind and body and depending on the age of the child, nap time will be a nonnegotiable. I am dedicated to giving each child a memorable experience.

ChatG I can’t recommend Gen highly enough. She has been such a positive influence on our family, caring for two young children a 4 month old and a 1 and a half year old with vastly different needs, always with remarkable patience and kindness. She is incredibly responsible and professional, handling every challenge with ease. Unlike many others, she never resorted to screen time, instead finding creative ways to keep our kids engaged and entertained. We're so grateful for her dedication and the calm, nurturing environment she created. Any family would be lucky to have her!
