A little bit about me

I was previously a preschool teacher in Reedley, CA near the Fresno/Clovis area. I moved to the central coast and began working as a server at Monarch Dunes Golf Course. With the overstaffing my hours have been cut and with my roommate who has an infant and toddler moving out I am missing children. Looking for a family who needs more than a nanny, I cook, I clean and have no kids of my own. So fully available other than days I still serve. But a family would come before that job, as I need a change. Looking forward to meeting new families and children.

I grew up the oldest and was always protective of my younger siblings and cousins I grew up raising my siblings when our parents weren’t around which taught me a lot of patience understandings as well as being able to help others and communicate with children as well as older adults. I would like to be a nanny because I want to make a difference and help others
