Caring Nanny

(2)
I am a very loving, and energetic nanny. I have been in this field for 12 years. I really enjoy being a nanny. I have experience caring for triplets and twins. I also have helped families with sleep training their children. There is a joy that comes with this job when caring for young children, knowing that I am a part of their developmental growth also motivating them and building their self-esteem is very self rewarding. I have cared for all ages from newborns to 12 years old. The biggest challenge as a nanny is to adapt to different people and their needs & requirements, so a long-term position would be what I am looking for. I have the ability to multitask and organize if that is what you need, I also love to cook and know many of my own recipes and am willing to learn new ones. I enjoy taking the children to their activities and organizing new activities and play dates, and I love arts and crafts.

Little Builders Preschool & Daycare

127 Hemlock Avenue, Redwood City, CA

Starting at $100/day

Little Builders is a Spanish immersion family preschool and daycare in Redwood City since 2014. We accept 18 months - 5 years old. The first year we are limited to 6 students and enroll full time students only. We believe that immersing children in real life activities through play is highly beneficial for their physical and sociological development. Through daily activities, we aim to inspire children to try new tasks and think outside the box. Along their journey of learning and development, children may struggle to adapt to new situations however we believe that with the correct support and encouragement they can learn to solve problems themselves.

The Spanish-speaking population is number two in not only California but the US with only Mandarin outranking Spanish as the language spoken by the most number of people in the world. For this reason, at Little Builders preschool and daycare, we offer all day immersive Spanish instruction. Children who are exposed to other languages at an early age score higher on standardized tests, become better problem solvers, and perform better in school overall. We believe that children learn a language easier when immersed in everyday activities. At our preschool and daycare, all communication and teaching will be in Spanish and our goal is for your child to be able to communicate fluently in Spanish when they leave us.
