Experience: 10 yrs
My passion for care giving began 24 years ago when I began working at Geo kids Daycare in Menlo Park. During this time, I discovered my natural ability to care for and connect with young children. For the past 11 years, I've been working as a nanny and completed college courses to receive a certificate in Early childhood education. I am able to manage the needs of multiple children while focusing on each individual child. I love the outdoors and use it as a resource for learning and exploring. I enjoy reading and singing songs that are interactive and engaging. I encourage sensory exploration, dramatic play, and creative arts using open-ended materials. I strongly believe in developing trusting relationships with each child as well as the parents. I also believe communication is essential to a successful working relationship.
Justina cared for our infant son and quickly became such an important part of our lives once I returned to work. She engaged him with songs, conversation, and so many thoughtful enrichment activities, such as trips to the park, story time at the library, museum, music class, and more. She regularly sent us pictures and videos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind and let us share in his sweet moments. We also appreciated how attentive she was to his routines and needs, from supporting him through the early contact napping stage to helping him transition into independent crib sleep. She always adjusted with patience and care. Justina also kept a daily journal for him, tracking his food, diapers, naps etc, while also documenting details about his day. Such a thoughtful touch! Most of all, it was clear how much she truly cared for and loved our son. Her warmth, creativity, and dedication made such a difference for our family, and we always felt he was in wonderful hands. We are so grateful for the time she spent with us!
