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! :)

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Going on walks, playing at parks, watching movies, baking, playing with toys, and arts & crafts.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a babysitter/nanny for me is making sure I have a good, comfortable relationship with not only the baby or child I am taking care of but the family I am working for. My main goal is to make everything feel safe, content, and happy while I am around. I want to create strong, lasting bonds.

My experience with special needs children...

I unfortunately have no experience as of now with special needs children but it is never too late for that to change

The most important part about being a nanny...

My most recent favorite moment was the last time I babysat my boyfriend's niece. She was doing what I call her "zoomy-time" (full of energy right before her afternoon nap). I put on a movie in hopes that she would want to sit and watch it but it didn't work for the first 15-20 minutes.
Then all of a sudden she crawled up onto the couch, plopped down next to me and dramatically laid her head on my chest. and within 5 minutes she was asleep. It made me feel so happy & content knowing she felt safe and comfortable with me to just come over and cuddle, especially since she'll soon be near the age where she doesn't want cuddles as often.
