San Rafael Mother's Helpers

My experience in childcare started since my high school career, in the year 2006. Since then I have worked with 4 families, making a minimum 1-year contract. I have worked with children that range from newborns, to 5-year-old. Many of the activities I include with children are play dates, trips to the near by discovery museum, and/or local library story time, and of course time at the playgrounds. I make sure that they receive the healthiest nutrition possible, by cooking for them. I take my role as a child caretaker very seriously. I understand that as a parent, a child is a most precious possession. Jobs I've had include retail, and five years at the Redwoods Retirement Home in Mill Valley. During my time at the Redwoods, I developed an interest in the caretaker field, that led me to pursue further, and acquire an Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting. If you have any other questions I would be more than happy to answer them for you.

Hello my name is Merly! I am from Guatemala. I enjoy taking care and playing with children, I have worked with children my entire life. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, from newborn to elementary school age. I have worked for a day care in Marin County where I learned to multitask and keep the kids entertained. I also have experience working with individual families.

**I am currently only available on weekend nights** Hi there! My name is Sarah, I am 27 years old and a very experienced, friendly and reliable person. I like being creative with kids, love to play games and aim at supporting them in their education and development. Since I worked as an Au Pair, I am aware of the responsibilities that child care requires. I always seek to establish a relaxed and positive atmosphere with the entire family. In Germany, where I lived until 2011, I worked in a children's playground center for 6 years and handled bigger groups of kids. During my most recent stay in Germany last year, I took care of a very sweet 1.5-year-old boy, 3-4 days a week. My responsibilities included preparing meals, feeding, changing diapers, going out for walks, playing, reading to him and bringing him to bed. In the United States, I worked as an Au Pair and took care of an 11-year-old, full-time for 21 months (my host family wouldn't let me leave and I didn't want to leave anyway) and also babysat younger kids once in a while. I did a lot of driving during this time. I have a clean driving record and am considered to be a very good driver (according to my host dad). When I worked as an Au Pair, I woke up the kid in the morning, prepared breakfast and lunch, dropped him off at school, ran errands and went grocery shopping while he was at school, picked him up, prepared a snack, helped him with his homework, did some fun activities with him or drove him to after school activities, prepared dinner and brought him to bed at night. I did pretty much everything that a family life requires. I was a mother's helper, parent and friend and my help was very much appreciated. I enjoy spending time with kids a lot and I am also willing to teach the kids some German words, if desired, and can usually help with any kind of homework. I have a Master's degree in teaching English and History and currently study German as a Foreign Language online, which keeps my schedule fairly flexible. At the moment, I do occasional babysitting for several families and have been taking care of infants recently (6 months-19 months), but also love watching older kids. I am only available on weekend nights at the moment, since my schedule is pretty full during the week!

Hello! I'm Natale. I am a Junior in High School. I started working with kids as a mother's helper when I was 9 and have been babysitting to save for a car ever since. I have babysat kids anywhere from 0-10 years old, and I am currently interning as an environmental educator with kids from 5th-8th grade. I have babysat for up to 4 children at a time and find it (though sometimes a little tough) a very rewarding thing to do! I love photography being outdoors and hiking, making music, spending time with my family, watching sunsets at the beach, and reading in bed with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning! I got my license and a car recently, so I can drive myself to and from places. I also have a brother with autism and I love to work with special needs children (I volunteered in my mom's special ed class this past summer and it was awesome!) I have been studying Spanish since preschool, and I dare say I'm getting to be pretty fluent!

I am also a certified lifeguard so I am completely certified in First Aid and CPR by the Red Cross. I also have my babysitter certification from the Red Cross. I love spending time with kids of all ages and building a strong relationship with the entire family.

I love kids and have been working as a "mother's helper" and babysitter for over seven years. Most of my experience as a babysitter has been for friends, relatives, and neighbors whose children I babysit when the parents are away or are having a date night!

I also volunteer for Special Olympics Swimming and have experience teaching adults with disabilities. I'm currently a third year at UCLA, and have been volunteering with Special Olympics and the Santa Monica Boys and Girls Club while in school. I'm comfortable playing with, tutoring, and driving children, and I love arts and crafts and outdoor activities.
