About Holly

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello, I am a Substitute Preschool Teacher for Head Start in two school districts in the Central Valley. I have an AA in Child Development as well as a Child Development Teachers Permit. I spent half my career working with children 0-18 years of age and the other half serving the public as a 911 Operator and Dispatcher for the California Highway Patrol. I have cared for infants and toddlers. I have cared for, transported and tutored school aged children. I have worked with teenage foster youth in the AmeriCorps mentor program at Modesto Junior College. I was also the Nanny of two children for a lovely family. I am Pediatric CPR/First Aid Certified. I have an impressive resume along with 3 outstanding letters of recommendation. I am compassionate, caring, creative and energetic. I am reliable and honest. I love getting down to the child's level and engaging in activities with them. When I am not coloring and playing with dinosaurs I enjoy cooking, gardening, photography and yoga.

We hired Holly to watch my 2 year old son while we work from home. We worked with her less than 3 weeks and decided to part ways. Pros: She was dependable and good with my son. Cons: Starting on day 1 she regularly questioned our parenting decisions (trust me, my son is very well taken care) and constantly tried to tell me what ls best for our son. During her second week she asked to drive our son to take him places around town. When I told her I wasn't comfortable with that yet, she quizzed me and asked how I could feel comfortable bringing him to a preschool in August but not comfortable with her driving him around. It was mind boggling she viewed going to preschool (that has an impeccable reputation for 30 years) as the same as letting someone I met on the internet 8 days prior take him out wherever she pleased.. If you hire her, make sure to let her know age appropriate foods. I was shocked to walk in and my son had a handful of sunflower seeds on his plate. When I told her seeds are a choking hazard for toddlers, instead of apologizing and saying she didn't know that, she argued with me they were fine for him to eat.
