A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Angelina, and I am 19 years old. I am currently attending California State University Channel Islands online where I am completing my general education requirements with the goal of pursuing a nursing degree. Becoming a nurse is something I am very passionate about, as I enjoy helping others and making a positive difference in people’s lives. I grew up in a large family with eight siblings, and as the oldest, I naturally took on many responsibilities from a young age. Being around children and helping manage daily routines has shaped me into a hardworking, organized, and compassionate person. I am very outgoing, friendly, and approachable, and I take pride in being someone others can rely on. I am caring, respectful, and motivated, always striving to do my best in everything I commit to. I work well with others, communicate clearly, and adapt easily to new environments.

A little bit about me

Hi I'm Bryn!! I am a second year student at Scripps College, and have a pretty flexible schedule! I have about 7 years of babysitting experience, and I have been teaching piano to children for the same amount of years. In 3 words, I would describe myself as bubbly, adventurous and empathetic. I absolutely love children, and believe we adults should listen more to what they have to say. Their perspectives on the world are so fascinating and beautiful. My approach to childcare is one with minimal screens and as much outdoor and crafting time as possible. This is how I was raised, and I loved every minute of my childhood. It is always an honor to be even a small part of someone's childhood, and I want to help create beautiful memories they can look back on for years to come! Some of my strengths in babysitting are: creating a fun and safe environment, and I am good with sibling conflicts!
