A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Carolina Winkle, I also go by Lina. I am a 51 years old filippina, born in the Philippines but raised here in San Diego (Navy Brat). I have two beautiful, independent, intelligent girls. My oldest Angie, 33 years old, Wazzoo (WA State graduate) lives in Seattle and my youngest Amber, 25 who works 2 jobs and lives in Ocean Beach. I'm a very proud and lucky mom. I tell them that I'm waiting for my grandkids (both no kids yet) lol. So with that, I miss when my girls when theybwere little. That's why applying for this Nanny job might be something that could be beneficial for both myself and the family that I will sit for while I am in the process of seeking work back in the healthcare field. Although I may not have and paid experience as a Nanny, I do have the patience, adhere to safetyness is a priority in all I do, especially when it comes to young kids. I am not a party goer, I love my peace and quiet, love to cook, simple life yet I do have retirement goals.

I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.
