A little bit about me

Hello! I'm wrapping up my bachelor's degree in September, so if not in the library or at the beach, I'm trying to find ways to bond with my neices in San Diego.

Nannying for them has not only been an enriching experience for me but has also shown me how important being a loving and secure care take is.

I am bilingual and am fluent in Spanish and can teach them if you'd like that.
