CHILDCARE EXPERIENCE
Entertainment Business Management
Started in Malibu (moved w/family to Lafayette Ca.) 2017-2022/current
I work 12 hour shifts 3.5 days a week with lots of travel. Keep a positive energetic & educationally-minded focus on one child. She was 12 months old the day I started, and now is 6 years old. I work as part of a team with a household staff. I use the reggio approach to observe, learn and teach with an eclectic style to respectfully incorporate the parents preference.
Burton Family Carlsbad, Ca 2013-2017
Full-Time Nanny, Ages of Children Upon Hire; 3yrs old and 6 months. When hired, there were only 2 children with another on the way. My job was to care for their 6 month old, keep the house tidy and do laundry. I did food prep, feedings, dishes, diapers, walks, play-dates, library visits, ‘baby
& me’ classes, art classes, and documented everything every day. I keep records of a child's growth and development as well as dietary and sleeping patterns.
The last two years (out of 4 years total) with this family of 3 children included all of the above, and more. I drove the children to and from school, took them to doctor and dental appointments, school activities, social events, assisted in teaching them to walk, potty training, and swim. I have traveled a little with them and done many overnights. This family has just added a new baby to make 4 children and now the mom’s able to stay home, so their needs for a nanny have changed.
CCDS Carlsbad, Ca 2012-2013
(Carlsbad Country Day School)
Full-Time Infant-Toddler Instructor
I was hired to work in the baby room with infants as young as 4 months old. This was a very busy job with the ratio of 4 to one teacher. This is a high-end pre school and I took much pride in being a part of their team. This is where the Burton family found me and offered me a nanny job for more pay and a much smaller ratio.

I was hired to work for A-B-CPR & First-Aid while finishing my child development credential.
