*CHILDCARE FEATURED IN LA TIMES HOME SECTION (DEC. 8TH/10TH, 2011) *PLEASE VIEW MY NANNY PROFILE TO SEE 8 OTHER 5-STAR REVIEWS THAT ALSO PERTAIN TO MY BABYSITTING EXPERIENCE. I am a USC graduate and career nanny from Hawaii who adores babies, has studied child development and psychology, and has cared for and helped to raise children from infancy. I have a great deal of experience with children of all ages, serving as everything from a full or part-time nanny to an occasional/date night/one-time sitter. I’ve traveled with families, stayed overnight at the families’ homes while the parents were away, nannied full-time out of my home (including keeping them overnight), been a night nanny for newborns/infants, have experience with mutiples, and have watched up to 6 children. I also have experience with high-profile families. Children have always been my passion in life. Caring for them makes me happier than anything else in the world and I just feel very lucky to be able to make a living doing something I truly love. I have a warm, patient, calm and nurturing spirit, but at the same time, am upbeat and friendly. I am very tidy, organized, responsible and cautious, but at the same time, very enthusiastic and fun-loving (health and hygiene are of the utmost importance to me, but I believe in exploration and experience as well.) I also feel that eager attentiveness and a constant enthusiasm towards children are so important. I love to constantly show them that they are loved and that the things they do are recognized. I really believe in a lot of positive feedback, even regarding the smallest accomplishment they might do, and I incorporate both learning and fun into everyday activities. I will respect any rules or guidelines you have for raising your child. I realize how hard it is when other people watch your children and don’t follow your rules, discipline or beliefs. When I care for a child, I would naturally care for them as if they were my own, but I think it’s always important to reinforce the bond with their parent while I am caring for them, whether it be doing activities that remind them of their parents, teaching and encouraging them to love and obey them, or just simply making them feel excited to share their day with the parent when they come home.  My past duties have included providing daily transportation to school, lessons, activities, practices and outings, providing and preparing meals, monitoring the children's health and hygiene (trimming nails and hair, baths, dispensing medicine, etc.), basic newborn/infant/toddler care (feedings, meals, naps, changing, cleaning supplies), stimulation, supervision, interactive/imaginary play, assisting in development (movement, crawling, walking, eating, teething, sleeping, coordination, sensory exploration, speaking skills), tutoring with homework, potty-training, encouraging reading, art, music and outdoor activities, supervising playground and pool time, caring for the children while they were sick, putting to bed, disciplining when necessary, light housekeeping (laundry, tidying bedrooms, living room, kitchen, play/eating areas), organizing/sorting toys and clothes, grocery shopping, running errands, maintaining a daily schedule and keeping a daily journal for infants/toddlers. Although I love all ages, I say I specialize in infant/toddler care, only because I feel that those ages require more technical knowledge and experience. I'd love to help in any way I can, as I have extensive, hands-on knowledge about everything infant/toddler-related (I've used pretty much every brand of bottles, pacifiers, diapers, baby food, formula, slings, bath products, etc., and know everything there is to know about infant feedings, sleep coaching, learning curves and developmental stages, soothing methods, care of different ailments, emergency care, etc.) Some specific activities that I believe are important for infants and toddlers are physical play, reading books, music time (songs and sing-alongs), outdoor activities (walks and water play), interactive and imaginative play, and repetition and discovery games. I am also familiar with the "Your Baby Can Read" developmental program, and have experience using infant/toddler sign language and making homemade baby food. I have experience tutoring, have volunteered at a preschool, and have taken CPR classes as early as high school (I attended Punahou, a K-12 private school in Hawaii) and am a well-trained swimmer (I can provide supervision for swimming and water play and can teach basic swimming or early-age water familiarization.) I also participated in numerous sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball and track) and took dance, voice and piano (starting some as early as age 5), so I can incorporate those into my services as well.  Please feel free to take a look at my profile, read my reviews, and give me a call if you'd like to speak further. I always supply parents with at least 3-5 references (from families with situations/ages of children similar to theirs), my childcare experience, personal information, etc. I also give parents extra information if requested... everything from a list of fun outings in my area (parks, playgrounds, libraries, museums, pools/water playgrounds, pet stores, kids activity centers), to general infant/toddler developmental stages, medical information, etc. *CHILDCARE AT MY HOME: (REFERENCES AVAILABLE FROM 8 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN I'VE CARED FOR AT MY HOME) I live at a secure and safe community in Downtown Los Angeles called The Orsini. It consists of 3 phases over 3 blocks with bridges connecting each phase.
