A little bit about me

I am a 56 year old widowed Mom. I stayed home to be able to raise my two children. One boy who is now 30 and a girl who is 26. Both of them are successful young adults. While raising my children I went into business with my husband. We both ran a small stainless steel fabrication shop. He did the welding and I did the front office. As we began to grow we hired family members. When things got really busy we hired on more help. We continued to be very successful until COVID. We had to let everyone go. Only family could work. By that time my son was old enough and stepped in and began welding. He would come in after school and then in-between classes when he started college. My husband passed in May of 2021. I did my best to keep it going with the help of my son, but after 3 1/2 years we had to shut the doors. Even with diversifying we weren’t able to bring in enough money to pay the overhead. The business closed after 21 years at the end of October, so now I find myself looking for work.

Hi! My name is Noelle, I’m a sophomore at Mira Costa currently studying to be a nurse! I have been babysitting off and on for about a year. I’ve moved here recently for school while the rest of my family is still in the Central Valley. Being new to San Diego means I’ve gotten to enjoy so many new hikes, beaches, and cafes and I absolutely love to explore these things on the weekend! I’m very comfortable driving, in my previous baby sitting jobs I would prepare food as well as clean. Please feel free to message me with any questions or inquiries!
