Sitter in Los Angeles, California

Hello families! My name is Natalie A college-educated and highly experienced caregiver, currently residing in Los Angeles, CA. I have always had a love for children. Throughout life, I've built a reputable character as a responsible, active, fun, creative, patient, and open-minded sitter/ nanny/ AuPair. I have 14 years of all-ages childcare experience under my belt (infant to 18 years). I have experience with special needs children and multiples. I also have CPR, AED & First Aid certifications. My childcare-related jobs have included: - Full Time Live-in AuPair/ Nanny Gold Coast, Australia (1 year abroad); - Babysitter (7 years); - Children's Dance, Gymnastics, Cheer, Sports, and Karate instructor Infant/ Pre-K/ GS (4 yrs); - Assistant Preschool Teacher Infant/ Pre-K (1 year); - Camp Counselor All ages; - Lifeguard All ages. I hold strongly to the importance of family. It is my goal to create trusting, professional relationships, and maintain honest, open communication. My biggest priority when providing care for others is safety. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that your home runs smoothly. I love playing, collaborating, getting creative, and being active with little ones! Board games, puzzles, dress up or role play as favorite character / person. Draw, color, paint, build, organize, bake or cook with children (with parent permission). Be active outdoors - go to the park, walk, ride bikes, incorporate dance, gymnastics, sports, etc. My philosophy of care includes anything that encourages growth, learning, confidence, imagination, expression, and physical fitness. Looking to begin in July 2017. If I've sparked any interest, feel free to shoot me a message. Thanks so much! Cheers, Natalie
