My name is Fara, and I am mature, responsible, reliable, honest, and hardworking. Most importantly, I love children and enjoy caring for them, nurturing them, and watching them grow to become their own person. Many of the parents had the children stay at my daycare till they went off to Pre-K! Those who became big brothers and sisters, also had their siblings join my daycare. :-) Additionally, I am a member of Chamber of Commerce, member of Better Business Bureau, and CPR certified. I have worked for two big companies and I even have a food handling certificate. Would love to meet with you to have your child join my Home Daycare starting in June 2012. Please contact me if interested as I am in the process of interviewing. Thank you for considering me for your child care position.

As the leading special needs Nanny Service in San Diego, we take great pride in working with families to find nannies that are specially trained, kind, and compassionate. We offer full-time and part-time nanny placements for families of all shapes and sizes in San Diego County! When we work with families, we conduct in-depth interviews of all the parties involved to ensure we are connecting the perfect caregiver to each family. The more specific parents are about the strengths, challenges, and interests of their child(ren) and family, the more we can certify that the process is not about blind faith. Our process includes: A preliminary phone interview between the Placement Coordinator and the family to learn about the child(ren). A home visit from the Placement Coordinator where he or she can observe the child(ren) in a comfortable environment and learn more about the family culture. Meet 2-3 hand-picked candidates. You ll be sent bios, resumes, and pictures of 2-3 candidates which you can then meet face-to-face. Each nanny undergoes an extensive screening process which includes: Application Review Preliminary Phone Interview Face-to-Face Interview Reference and Education Check TrustLine Registration Check, Driving History, Social Media Check, Sex Offender Check US Work Authorization Check CPR and First Aid Certification Check Physical Examination by a doctor to ensure they are fit to work with children Once a family decides on their match, the family negotiates the rate, hours, and other job details with the nanny. Families also receive guidance on how to file appropriate taxes as a household employer. Once the search begins, the process typically takes between 2-6 weeks
