Sitter in Oakland, California

I am looking to provide full or part time care for your newborn- pre-school children. The following are some of my qualifications: - Over 30 years experience working with children from newborn-to 9 year-olds - For 25 of those years I worked at a child development center as a teacher for 2-9 year-olds - For the last five years I have cared for a set of twins in the Oakland hills from newborn until they entered kindergarten a few weeks ago. I have plenty of energy for playing and teaching your children: - How to speak fluently in Spanish with me as I have done with several others. - I love reading books out loud to them - Taking them on nature walks - Playing different games with them - Finger painting - Dancing with them - Singing kids songs with them - Doing puppet shows with them - I know many other age-appropriate activities to play My last twins recently went to kinder very prepared because of how I helped them: - Learn the alphabet and counting (also in Spanish) - Use school supplies - Write their names I would be happy to provide references that can speak to the quality of my work, including a letter from my twins' parents with their phone number. I have recently renewed my CPR certificate and TB test and I would be happy to provide you with the documents if you like. My phone number is (510) 71... which you can call or text or you can send me an email to mercedes1250[at]yahoo[dot]com I look forward to hearing from you as caring for children is what I do best!
