Hi my name is Melissa, I'm 37 &I'm a need basis&reoccuring babysitter for families all throughout Sacramento. I'm able to do holiday babysitting, sick days, datenights, emergencies, care in childrens home while families are out of town&reocurring babysitting needs. A little about me: I have a child development major&working with children is actually my chosen career! With each babysitting job I make it my goal to offer fun hands-on interactive babysitting. Parents I've babysat for will tell you I actually sit down&play with children. I have 4 years of training at Utep University in Texas in the elementary education degree field&have also completed a specialized associate of applied science in child development at Epcc. I would describe myself as a babysitter who's motivated&who truly has a passion for working with children! I've used a variety of activities when babysitting&tutoring including small house play performances (we design masks or costumes), hands-on science experiments, game nights with prizes, creative arts&crafts that center on nature, outdoor picnics, paper mache projects, painting, activities that help with fine motor skills development, baking&no-bake cooking, read a-louds, beading, sculpting projects, outdoors activities, sports of all sorts, music appreciation activities with instruments I bring, dance, creative&imaginative play, activities utilizing the 5 senses, water play, scavenger hunts, I've had children grow different kinds of plants&watch them develop&exploration of every sort including helping kids create adventure journals for elementary aged children . I really like to engage children in the world around them&to keep them active! I'm constantly searching for&trying new activities with kids! I was raised in Alaska&as a child I grew up in Montessori doing hands on crafts, learning outdoors, planting flowers around our school garden, adopting trees, cleaning up nature parks around Anchorage&taking interest in exploring life&our beautiful earth. I have over 12 years of experience working with children from infancy to adolescence in both care giving&teaching. I've been told by different parents that from the moment they met me my personality, my loving patience, my kindness&nurturing of children I care for truly impressed them&stood out. I have references spanning from over the course of nearly a decade!
