Part-Time Nanny Available in Oak Harbor, WA: Fabinelismar V.

Hi I have been a babysitter for 2 years now and recently moved into oak harbor. I am 21 years old I have a newborn babygirl of my own who is soon to be 2 months. I enjoy peace & quiet but also enjoy the chaos with my littles. I speak Spanish which I would love to teach if that’s in anyone’s interest. I’m hoping to find a family who wouldn’t mind my babygirl being present and preferably in my home that I can make as comfortable as possible to your needs to monitor whenever you’d like. Feel free to reach out if that’s in any of your interest.

Although I do not have any formally paid experience as a nanny, I do have experience taking care of children and being in charge of meal prep, feeding, changing and following established routines for meals and bedtime. I am currently first aid and CPR certified, and I am certified in child care basics and safe sleep practices. I do also have informal experience as a tutor for elementary age students. Unfortunately at this time I do not have the ability to drive, however I can utilize public transit for reliable transport to and from the home.
