Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, I am a Substitute Preschool Teacher for Head Start in two school districts in the Central Valley. I have an AA in Child Development as well as a Child Development Teachers Permit. I spent half my career working with children 0-18 years of age and the other half serving the public as a 911 Operator and Dispatcher for the California Highway Patrol. I have cared for infants and toddlers. I have cared for, transported and tutored school aged children. I have worked with teenage foster youth in the AmeriCorps mentor program at Modesto Junior College. I was also the Nanny of two children for a lovely family. I am Pediatric CPR/First Aid Certified. I have an impressive resume along with 3 outstanding letters of recommendation. I am compassionate, caring, creative and energetic. I am reliable and honest. I love getting down to the child's level and engaging in activities with them. When I am not coloring and playing with dinosaurs I enjoy cooking, gardening, photography and yoga.

Holly has been such a blessing to our family and especially to our nearly 2 year old daughter, Blake. Holly has been our nanny to Blake for over a year and helped her thrive and grow through love, music, language, and experiencing the outdoors through play. As a parent herself, she has treated Blake like an additional daughter and I have always felt confident knowing that her safety is of utmost importance and I implicitly trust her to care for her. She also has gone above and beyond making sweet little keepsakes (Christmas ornaments with the kids hand prints) with thought and creativity I did not have the bandwidth to make. We also have a 3 year old son that she has watched from time to time and does so with ease. Wrangling 2 under 3 is not an easy task and she has befriended and become best buds with both kids, always approaching hard moments with positivity and love. When saying our night time prayers she always makes the roll call. Additionally Holly is a fantastic organizer and has helped me organize my house and my life lol. She never sits idle and finds ways to help around the house to make the most of our time together. Having a background in emergency services and child development, she is such a wonderfully rounded addition to any future family. I cannot imagine surviving this past year without her help. Whether you're looking for a one time job or for her to become your family's nanny, I can't recommend her highly enough.
