A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Amber. I'm 41 Years Old, my family and I are covid-19 conscious and fully vaccinated. I live in Coronado. I have 15+ years of childcare experience and college units in early childhood development. I love to paint, crochet, bake, be outdoors, blow bubbles, ride scooters, and have fun.

My hourly rate is $26, but I can be flexible for the right family. I have had CPR training, have my own car and a perfect driving record, and have had a background check. I can also supply references upon request.

A little about me... I have been a stay-at-home mother for the last 16 years. I have homeschooled my 2 children since kindergarten. Since they are getting older, it's time for me to get back to work.

I am very flexible and dedicated. If you would like to know more about me, please ask. I would love to hear from you!

Recent reference

"Amber has the amazing ability to make BOTH parents and children happy! She watched my children from the time my oldest was 14 months old, until my youngest was two and half years old. All along the way she happily adapted to any changes we asked her to make and always kept my girls safe, active, and happy! She was always prepared with arts and crafts, fun outings, and healthy meals. I have picky eaters who often refuse to eat the lunch I packed them, but she magically whipped up healthy options for them instead on those days. She helped introduce some preschool curriculum to my eldest as she neared kindergarten, and was diligent about my youngest’s nap schedule. It’s been a little over a year since we parted ways with Amber (we moved away from her neighborhood) and my girls still ask to see her on a regular basis! I’d take her back in a heartbeat if I could!"

A little bit about me

My name is Izzy and I am on the lookout for a new nanny family to join! Over the past two years, I've had the joy of being part of an amazing family, but their child starts preschool this September.

A little bit about me... I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and have a background in residential youth counseling and full-time nannying. I've found a deep satisfaction in working with children facing mental health challenges and intellectual disabilities. In the future, I have plans to pursue a master's degree in social work or clinical counseling, but for now, I'm fully dedicated to and loving my role as a nanny. Through my experiences with three families (two during college and one post grad), I've truly become a part of their families, and I'm eager to find a new family where that connection can thrive!
