A little bit about me

Hi !
I'm Paula from Colombia.
I'm 25Y and I came 5 years ago to work as an au pair, now I'm currently working as an independent nanny, just ended with my last job ( nanny share in San Francisco)
I’m new in San Jose and I’m looking for a new job opportunity.
In my country I studied children pedagogy, that's why I really enjoy to work in childcare , I have been working with kids for almost 9 years and I consider it's a strong experience.
Working in kindergartners, summer camps and many families.
I'd describe my personality as a responsible, active and honest person.
I really enjoy to work with kids, teach them and see how's their development going, it feels good to be able to help them and be part of the process.
I'll like to be in a place where I can be comfortable and respected.
I'm pretty active and I love to try new things to keep the kids distracted and learning different skills.
One thing you should know about me is I always try to do my best and be proactive.

A little bit about me

Hi,
I'm Lavanya from India. Current graduate student, Staying in San Jose.
I grew up taking care of my own brother. Connecting with kids on their level is important to me including physical games, playing outside, feeding them and more.
I love the outdoors, so I make time every day (when the weather cooperates) to get outside with kids and explore.
I am looking for a long-term position with a family who wants a nanny to be a part of the team, and to provide stable, loving care for their little ones.
