Valerie Vargas

Fresno,CA

Summary

Hello! My name is Valerie Vargas. I’m 27 years old, born and raised in Fresno, California. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University. I have completed 15 units in Child Development coursework.

I have over 9 years of professional childcare experience working with children ranging from infants to 12 years old, along with additional experience in customer service. My background has strengthened my communication skills and allows me to provide dependable support not only to the children in my care, but to the entire family dynamic within the home.

I’m open to a range of household and childcare responsibilities, provided we align on expectations, responsibilities, and compensation. I value professionalism, transparency, and creating a positive long-term relationship with the families I work with.
