Child Care Provider and Nanny - TALIA J. (User #278333)

Hi Parents! I'm Women's Studies major/Comparative Literature minor at San Francisco State University, originally hailing from Orange County, California. For my first 3 years of college, I majored in Child and Adolescent Development, and although I recently changed my major, I remain committed to working with children and ultimately want to become a teacher.

I've had seven years of experience babysitting and tutoring children of all ages (6 mo - 14 yr), in addition to children with special needs (ie. ADHD & autism). I've also spent a summer as a nanny for a family of 5 (ages 8-13). I've assisted as a volunteer in a preschool, an elementary school, and worked over a summer in a performing arts daycamp in London. I am eager to engage children in exciting and interesting ways that nourish their growth, and to interact with them gently, happily, and patiently.

I have numerous references available upon request, and I invite you to please contact me with any questions that you may have. I understand that it takes an enormous amount of trust in order for a parent to leave their child with a sitter, and I am more than happy to meet with you first in order to establish the necessary comfort and trust. I hope to hear from you soon!

You can either e-mail me or call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx, whichever you're most comfortable with. Thanks :)
