I am a somewhat recent grad from UTSA, I have a BA in Psychology. Im currently in the process of getting my Masters. My goal is to eventually be a clinical/child psychologist.  I have babysat numerous times (about 5 years) for family members as well as my former principal of my high school. I love children. I believe that they should be able to express themselves creatively and physically (as in not stay in the house all day). I mostly care  for girls; ages 1, 3, 5 and 9. I've also taken care of boys ages 8mo, 1, 2 and 6. I'm most comfortable with girls (age doesn't matter), but only because I've had more experience watching them. English is my first language, but I can understand basic spanish. As for my caregiving philosophy, it mostly depends on the parents. The main goal of mine is to make sure that Read more the child's needs are always met; not their wants. And they should at least have 30 minutes to an hour of exercise. From my experience, kids love board games, coloring books, reading and just about anything that involves them moving or going outside. I am CPR, first aid and AED certified. And I am also comfortable with animals. I have pet sat as well as house sat for clients.

Great communication. She arrived 10 minutes early to meet our daughter. She asked great questions. Our daughter took to her right away.

Shade' is very dependable, prompt, and responsible. Our 2 year old Grandson loves her as does our 7 year old daughter. She has been a true blessing and we have been so grateful to have her with us. She communicates very well about status and daily activities. We highly recommend her!

Awesome! She asked if there were any food allergies. She read to my children. She asked all of the right questions which was good because you want a sitter that ask questions. She passed all of my background checks. I own a daycare center so I was able to run a deeper background check on her. She is a student at UTSA and professors had great things to say. She is our regular now.
