My name is Anahit. I am a professional nanny with 20 + years of experience and I love children very much. I enjoy spending time with kids, and feel happy when they are around. I love playing, dancing, singing with kids, taking them to the park, playgrounds, and for walks to the beach. I love talking with the children, reading books to them, and telling them stories. I am very creative with kids. This includes music, art, nature, imaginative play, story time, dress up and problem solving. As a Nanny, I can engage your child with age appropriate learning activities such as : * Reading * Singing Nursery Rhymes * Story Telling * Block Building * Handwriting Practice * Drawing * Coloring * A walk around the neighborhood/ Park/Bookstores etc. I love babies and toddlers, and I'm passionate about helping them grow into independent, happy, and considerate human beings! I am able to create a happy, safe, nurturing and stimulating environment in which a baby can thrive and develop. A little more about myself: I am energetic and a responsible person. I am very organized, prompt, professional with a wide range of experience, attentive and easy going. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I am Tdap, Hep A and Hep B Vaccinated. I can provide an excellent local references. I am a non-smoker. I am comfortable with pets. I can perform light housekeeping, laundry and meal preparation. I am comfortable taking care of an infant (1 months plus), a toddler (1 - 3 years old) or a Pre-Schooler (4 - 6 years old). I am a former volleyball player and love sports. I speak Armenian, Russian, and a little French (can read and write). I studied at City College of San Francisco. I am happily married and have two grown sons. Since 2006 I have worked as a nanny in a family with two kids at the Marina district of San Francisco. I became so attached to them that I consider them to be a part of my family. Since they are school age, I no longer work with them but I still babysit occasionally. I am babysitting part-time in San Francisco, and I am looking to do full-time child care. I drive my own car. I would be glad to provide any additional information as needed (references, vaccinations..). Please feel free to contact me and I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.
