A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Julianna Casillas, and I’m originally from Los Angeles. I’m 21 years old and currently a graduate student, having recently earned my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from California State University, Northridge (CSUN).

For the past five years, I’ve worked as a nanny and have built strong relationships with the families I’ve worked with—I’d be happy to provide references who can speak to my experience.

A little bit about me

My name is Brooke, and I am 23 years old. I graduated last year with my BA in psychology from Chapman University. I have worked with children my whole life. From the time I was 12 years old I loved helping my mom take care of my cousins when they were babies. That is when I found my love for children and knew any job working with them would make me happy. As I grew older I began to officially nanny and babysit for many families throughout Orange County, I also worked at an elementary school, and I am currently a Montessori school teacher working with preschool children. I am relocating to the San Diego area and would love to find a great family to help out. I look forward to meeting you.
