Sitter in Mesa, Arizona

My name is Ana. I just moved to the San Tan Valley/Queen Creek area and I am looking for a regular family to watch during the day. I have 8 years paid experience with preschool care, babysitting, nannying, tutoring and homeschooling. I have more unpaid experience with my niece and nephews. I have my Az Finger Print Clearance Card ( a thorough state issued background check for care givers) CPR and First Aid training and excellent references. The last few years I have been watching kids from my home and offering homeschooling as well. We loved spending time outside riding scooters, going to the park, taking nature walks, doing messy experiments like making slime or moon dust, playing in the sprinklers, drawing with chalk and running around playing ball. Inside we engaged in dramatic play, such as pretend cooking, sensory bins, arts and crafts like building rockets, no heat cooking (safe for everyone involved) and music time. We also would enjoy field trips to the aquarium, zoo, splash pad, park, science center, farm and would host occasional playdates. I believe in positive parenting and think its important do teach both sense of community by making treats for the neighbors and leaving them as a surprise and acts of kindness once a month. If you're interested you are more than welcome to check out my small blog at blogspot..... to see some of the fun themed activities that I like to do with the kids that I watch. I'd love to hear from you and set up an interview when it's convenient for you. Have a great day!
