A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Gianna, I’m 18 years old, and I’ll be attending the University of Washington this fall. I currently live on Mercer Island and am looking for a part-time nanny position this summer from mid-June through the end of September.
I love working with kids and have experience coaching at Soccer Fun Camp, where I work with children ages 1.5 to 7. I also currently work at the Shore Club and have been babysitting for families in my neighborhood since I was 13.
I’m reliable, energetic, and really enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for kids. I will need some flexibility in my schedule due to another job and summer commitments, but I’m happy to work around that!
