A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Allison. I’m 18 years old and recently graduated from high school. I’ve spent most of my life around children and helping care for them. I have four younger brothers who I’ve helped raise, and I’ve also babysat for many family members and friends over the years. Because of this, I’m very comfortable caring for children of different ages.

I truly love spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for them. I’m patient, responsible, and happy to help with all parts of childcare, whether that’s playing with them, helping with meals, keeping routines, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and support you in caring for your child.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kayleen Cordova- Castellanos, and I’m very interested in the nanny position. I have over three years of experience working with children, and caring for kids has always been a big part of my life. As the oldest sibling in my family, I naturally took on a lot of responsibility helping care for younger children while growing up, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility.

I genuinely love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I enjoy activities like helping with homework, playing games, reading, and keeping children engaged in positive ways.

I’m currently a student at Bakersfield College and plan to transfer to CSU Bakersfield in the next couple of years to continue my education. I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure children feel safe, happy, and supported while in my care.

I would love the opportunity to help support your family and care for your children!
