A little bit about me

Hello! I am a bay area native living in Mill Valley. I graduated from CSU Chico State University receiving my BA in Hummanities. I am very patient, clean, organized, and flexible. I have had multiple nanny jobs through out the years along with being a swim instructor for 3 different Swim Schools through out California. I have the following certifications: CPR and First Aid certification, TB test, flu shot, a clean driver's license and my own car. I usually drive the kids to school and activities, after school. I enjoy being outside and taking the kids to parks, the zoo, the library, museums, aquarium and other fun educational places in the area! At home, I help with homework, play with toys, games, read books, paint, draw and do everything that will help the children to be happy. I am looking for a new family because my last families children's school schedule has changed and cannot continue to have a full time. I am available now and I am super excited to start my new job.

Melina J. - Seeking Work in Petaluma

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Petaluma, CA: Melina J.

Hello! My name is Melina, I’m 21 years old and I’ve worked with kids ranging from 4-10 years old for about 4 years now. My job is great and I love everything about it, the only thing is when summer time comes around it’s not as reliable. I’m looking for more consistent hours for those couple of months and I think a nannying position will help with that. In my position currently I work with TK and Kindergarten as a lead for my aftercare program. I am also CPR and First Aid certified as my job requires us to be and we do refreshers for that once a year. This is the best job I’ve had and it’s allowed me to grow as a person and in my role as a counselor. Working with kids comes with its challenges but it’s so rewarding and they are so refreshing to be around. They allow me to find the silliness and childlike wonder within myself and I think everybody could use that once in a while. Overall, I’m excited to start this new journey and I hope you got to know me a bit better.
