Experience: 8 yrs
Presently: I am currently working part time with a 17 mo (M/W). Looking for part time &/or occasional starting in October 2025. Also open to FT positions starting Jan 2026! Past: I attained my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Sciences at CSUMB in 2022. I have worked with children 0-13 y. o. for 10 years on and off in various settings. I have worked as an assistant teacher at a preschool, in a children's discovery museum, as a babysitter, and nanny. *My goal for my future is to eventually build/start up my own children's discovery museum* I'd describe my personality as outgoing, empathic, patient and fun! In my spare time, I like to read, be out in nature (there's magic everywhere if you look closely enough), dance to music, spend time with loved ones. A couple things you should know about me is I'm learning Spanish and know enough to have a very basic conversation with a 5-year-old and I know basic baby sign language and am trying to become fluent in both!
We hired Sasha as a full-time nanny for our nanny share, caring for our daughter and another girl, both about 8 months old at the time. Right from her trial day, Sasha impressed us. Our daughter wasn't the easiest baby, but Sasha handled her with a calm, confident, and caring demeanor that immediately put us at ease. Choosing her was the best decision we could have made. She's cared full time for both girls for 8 months and through that time period, Sasha did an amazing job caring for them. Some highlights: VERY caring, she spent a lot of time singing, talking interacting with the girls, making sure that they were engaging in age appropriate developmental activities, taking them on daily walks to the park, keeping very organized schedules for both of them (and they weren't always aligned), making sure all their needs are met. She always communicated how the days went, anything new in development or any unusual observations. She was very observant to their well being, and as a parent- I felt at ease and a peace of mind when leaving my baby with Sasha, knowing that she is cared for and adored. Sasha speaks the baby language and truly has a way of connecting with children. We also have a toddler at home, which wasn't under her direct full time care but on some occasions she had helped care for him and she ensure he's engaged, entertained and has a great time. We wholeheartedly recommend Sasha to any family looking for a nurturing, responsible, and professional caregiver.
