Community Representative (representing agency or business that provides funding for or advocates for child care services, but does not provide child care services directly)

* Summary of Qualifications for Position:Text will be limited to 2500 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)

As a parent of two young children and consumer of child care, and an educator, I know firsthand the value of early childhood education and the need for quality child care. While serving on the board of my local mothers club, I heard so many parents express their worry and concern about selecting and paying for care for their children.

Show Remaining Characters 2500* Reasons for Applying:Text will be limited to 2000 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)

I am passionate about improving the quality of child care in Marin, as well as the range of options for families. I know how difficult it is to entrust your child to someone's care, especially when it means working just to pay for child care: my hourly salary is equal to what we pay for preschool for just my son, and if he ever has a day off of school while I'm working, it often costs more than I make to have someone watch him. For parents that don't work standard hours, I know that their options are far more limited, which is why I'd like to see if we could pilot a program in Marin of co-op after hours care, for parents that work evening and weekends, which could be housed in existing childcare centers (during the hours that they are closed). I know I'm not alone in struggling to find affordable child care in Marin, and I want to work to find solutions to help working parents find quality solutions that work for them and their children.

Show Remaining Characters 2000* Please describe how you would help support excellence in public service and help the Countyeffectively respond to the needs of the diverse residents we serve: Text will be limited to 1500 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)

I would help support excellence in public service by being available and accountable to the parents, children, and child care providers that the Child Care Commission serves, and I would seek input and information from them to ensure that the commission’s strategic plan is in line with their needs. I would also draw upon the network and resources of the Marin Child Care Council to understand where the gaps are in service to consumers and what communities providers could better serve.

* Please describe your experience in engaging with members of all races, people from a widevariety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and people with disabilities: Text will be limited to 1500 characters. (Please add attachments for additional information if necessary.)Through my professional, educational, and volunteer experiences, I have worked with people from all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. With-in my own family, I have a brother that suffers from a severe mental illness and has been homeless for many years, and a disabled nephew; so I know what difficulties families face when they are struggling to care for members with mental and physical disabilities. I believe in the power of listening; from asking questions and learning people’s stories, we can better understand their struggles and priorities, and I would love to engage in further outreach to our communities to better understand their specific needs.
