A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rachel. Ive been a nanny for 2 years and have been with the previous family for a year. The mom just got a new job so the girl I was taking care of is now in daycare and they no longer need me to come in regularly so now Im hoping to find another family to work with! Im looking to work 30-40 hours per week. For the last family I worked with, me and their daughter would have so much fun!! We would play, do arts and crafts, yoga, bake, dance/sing, go on outings (park, beach, hikes, museums), do educational games, read and occasionally we would watch a movie and get some cuddles in:)

Hopefully I can find another amazing family to work for!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Yenvi and I am currently attending UC San Diego as an undergraduate student. I am 19 and although I've never had experience being a nanny, I used to tutor 5-10 students who were between the ages 5-13. I've always had a fondness for children and I want to be involved in their upbringing by taking care of them. I may not have a car but my school provides us with bus passes so I am perfectly fine with commuting to your home anytime you need me!
