A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Brandi Gonzalez, and I’m from the PNW. I love spending time with my husband, cooking and baking, enjoying good coffee, and taking walks around the neighborhood.
I’m passionate about working with young people and currently work part-time at a nonprofit serving middle and high school students.
I’m hoping to find a part-time nannying position, around 20–30 hours a week, and would love to support your family in whatever ways I can. I’m also happy to help with household tasks for an additional rate, depending on the task and time involved.
I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and see how I can be a caring, dependable addition to your home!
