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!

Stellar Child Care in my home in South Redondo. I am close to the beach, parks and library. As a Child Care Provider and Nanny for over 20 years and as a home school educator for 9 years, I see the huge need for affordable, good-quality, personalized Day Care. I provide safe, soothing, fun, creative care. I am nurturing, healthy, reliable, flexible and honorable. My home is just like being home. I prefer to limit my care to 4 children. Each baby or child gets the attention that they deserve as they grow up under my care. I have a lactation specialist if you need help transitioning back to work. I can do massage and movement. Once a week we have a special music class and arts and crafts! A typical day is nourishment, dramatic reading, walking, singing, story time, quiet time, napping and educational/play time. I have an assistant for when we go on an outing to the beach or a nearby museum. We can walk or drive in my fully insured vehicle. I have a perfect DMV record. I do full-time and part-time care with extended hours for parents who commute or have high powered careers that demand more time away from their family. The last thing mom wants to worry about is rushing back to an angry Nanny or to pick up her baby before closing time. I provide Date Night and over night care as well. Hours: 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Sunday. My background check and references can be found on my Nanny profile. I grew up in Manhattan Beach and reside in Redondo Beach. Blessings~ Call any time for more details or an appointment. Julie
