Meet Joy

I am an instructional support specialist with a local school district and would love to be your backup sitter or Mandarin tutor during spring, summer(every June and July), and winter breaks. My preference is to work nearby the public transportation. I've acquired my program director permit in July 2012 while I worked as a head teacher with Berkeley Head Start. I worked for a Montessori preschool briefly in 2009 and participated in the High Quality Classroom training with a project approach in conducting classroom investigations, field studies, and inviting visiting experts to advance children's learning. My native Mandarin speaking, reading, and writing skills enable me to better assist the children and their families who speak the language at home. I have been sitting my former students from a non-profit private center I worked for. My resume, reference letters, permit record, CPR certificate, and fingerprinting records are available upon requests.

Joy is a rare gem. First, she impressed us with her refreshing professionalism, respect, and reliability in the caregiver industry. Second, she has in-depth experience in early childhood development, is a forward social-emotional-behavioral thinker, and possesses a calm demeanor with young children. Third, Joy is whip smart, is ready to act in anticipation, and carries along great dialogue. Our best conversations evolve around her one-on-one feedback of our child's development, and she informs us parents how to make effective changes. When our child is toughest to deal with in the evening, she has been caring for our toddler with ease and following a routine. Fourth, Joy's bilingual fluency has greatly enhanced my son's Mandarin oratory skills and love of Chinese characters. Lastly, she brings along a new item (song, book, tchotchke, origami, slime) each time to enlighten my child. My child appreciates Joy, and we trust and love her so.
