Chelsea
I have 13 years of paid experience working with children whose ages ranged from 4-weeks to 13 years of age. For the families I have worked with, I mostly did pick-up and drop-offs at camp and other appointments, trips to the park for outdoor activities, went to local museums, played educational games in preparation for the following school year, prepared light dinner, and assisted with bath and bedtime routines. My favorite activities to participate in with children include: reading, educational games, singing and dancing, arts & crafts, improvisation, and generally being silly! I love to bring a sitter bag packed full of activities-books, craft supplies, puzzles, play dough, and so much more! I enjoy babysitting because I love working with children and I am happy to assist parents who must run errands or attend social engagements. Babysitting has enhanced my communication skills as I have learned ways to engage most effectively with children of all ages and varying interests; and it has taught me how to be patient, creative, and open to activities that children suggest.

I also was a pre-K teacher at KinderCare in 2004-2007 until I started my new career as a sales manager selling scientific and medical supplies to the DoD and VA Hospitals and I have been doing this for the past 19 years and I love it. I also volunteered at The Community Church with the infants.

Astrid
Hello, My name is Astrid Alejandra Arias-Barrera, I am a photographer and mixed media artist, and I have always had a strong, natural connection with children. From a young age, I helped care for younger kids in my family and developed a very nurturing, motherly personality. I had to step away from work for a period of time, but I am now ready and excited to return to working with families and children. For the past four years, I have provided childcare on and off for family members, roommates, and friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am dependable, a quick learner, and very open-minded. I am also happy to help with cooking, cleaning and any other household tasks as needed. I am truly grateful for any opportunity to support a family and provide safe, loving care for their children.
