I am 22 years old. I have graduated EMT school and am also certified in CPR/Infant CPR and First Aid. I'm originally from Michigan and moved to California just last September with my partner. I went to Grand Valley State for 3 years switching from pre-med to therapeutic recreation until I finally realized that childcare is where my heart and soul belong. I have worked with kids for about 8 years, including helping my siblings with my nieces and nephew to being a nanny for several different families around Los Angeles County and several around the beach cities. I am comfortable with and have experience with all ages, mostly newborn-toddler, and also experience with twins/multiples. My partner is a behavior therapist for kids with Autism and so I have some experience with special needs as well. I have had wonderful experiences with the families I have worked for and keep a close relationship with the parents and the kids even after working for them. Right now I am trying to find the right family to build a relationship with and that I will be able to raise my own child around one day. I look forward to meeting new welcoming, accepting, and fun families!

Licensed childcare in my home for infants to school-age kids. I offer pick-up from the local Elementary school in Torrance. I offer a very lightly structured program with plenty of free play both inside and outside. Full and part-time care provided included meals. I include an educational element, although it is very loosely structured. I have worked with children for many years and love to see them learn through play and interaction with each other. My prices are also very competitive. We spend time playing with puzzles, books, blocks, dolls, and other age-appropriate toys. We dance, listen to music, sing, practice colors, numbers, shapes and begin to get familiar with the alphabet. Outside we have a small slide, sandboxes, a play kitchen and house area. We also have balls, play animals, and some other fun activities included water play and bubbles. I offer homework help as well. My regular hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, but I offer extended hours on a case by case basis.

Our After School program (grades K-5) also includes transportation - children are picked up from school and will be brought to our learning center, where they will receive assistance in completing their homework, be given individualized lesson plans and worksheets to enhance their understanding of what they're learning in school, and will have the chance to make friends from different schools! Parents are expected to pick children up from the center by 6:30 p.m., but we are flexible if you need a later pick-up time! We cater to all local elementary schools. All of our tutoring sessions are one hour long and are taught by certified, experienced college graduates. We offer tutoring for grades K-12, including GED and SAT prep. All of our tuition fees are fair and affordable, and there is not any kind of registration fee! Appointments for tutoring are required and can be made by calling or emailing us.

Workshops include arts and crafts; interactive group games; a fun, education-based lesson; and other organized activities!
