Experience: 5 yrs
Nurturing children's growth and development is a true passion of mine. My five years of experience caring for children aged 0-11, including toddlers and preschoolers, have solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. I am patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and even some technology-based games with kids. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children, and I'm happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I have some college experience, along with First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework. I speak both English and Spanish. I prioritize open communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method, and I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. Knowing I can provide a safe and fun environment for your children brings me so much joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to connect with your family!
Penny has been a wonderful babysitter for our 1 year old, 3 year old, and 6 year old. She is reliable, patient, and truly great with children of different ages. Penny does an excellent job keeping our youngest safe and happy, engaging our preschooler with age-appropriate activities, and making our oldest feel comfortable and heard. She follows routines well, including meals and bedtime, and always communicates clearly with us. Our kids genuinely enjoy spending time with her and we always feel confident leaving them in her care. We highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter and/or nanny.
