A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Luna and I have been babysitting since i was a young teenager. I have loved caring for kids my whole life, and I am looking for a job for 3-5 weekdays in addition to my part time retail job on the weekends. I live in an ADU in my parent’s back yard in Petaluma with my 2 cats. I love playing with kids, doing dress-up, and baking with them. I also paint the inside and outside of my car and often let kids I babysit help me with that! I love letting kids have their imagination come to life. In the past I have put hair tinsel in kids’ hair and mine to pretend we are fairies. My goal is to have a steadier income and schedule with caring for kids!

A little bit about me

I absolutely love babies and young children! I am the oldest of 13 grandchildren so I have had a fair amount of childcare experience. My most recent and most common job is babysitting my boyfriend's three-year-old niece. I have been one of her most common babysitters since she was a newborn. I love children of all ages but feel I thrive more when working with ages 6 months-5 years old.
I consider myself fun, enthusiastic, reliable, and caring. I don't mind if we sit on the couch and watch movies all day or spend a few hours playing at the park. My main goal is to make the child happy and comfortable with me.
I am currently a senior at Saint Mary’s College of CA studying psychology.

I CPR and First Aid certified.
I have a four-door Hyundai Electra with plenty of room for a car seat or two!

Can't wait to meet you! :)
