About Carrie

Hello! I'm hoping to find a fun loving family in need of quality care for their little one/s. I am a firm believer that a caregiver should offer so much more than just present adult supervision. I like to be fully engaged in activities like imaginative play, storytelling, art projects, crafts, etc. with the children I care for; allowing the child's interests and mood to determine how we spend our time together. For a little background on myself, I attended San Francisco State University as a Child Development major. I completed 21 Early Childhood Education units and I have many years of childcare experience, including as a nanny for a family with a 5y. o. and a 2y. o., teaching in the toddler classroom at a preschool in Santa Barbara and then, running the Aftercare program at a Montessori preschool in the Bay Area. All of the classes and hands-on experience I have acquired have further confirmed for me, that working with children isn't just a job to me, it is what I love to do!
