Hi my name is Maddy! I am patient & energetic. I grew up with younger brothers and have always been nurturing and as a second mama towards them. As a woman, I feel very drawn towards children and love spending time teaching and learning from them.

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Avery and I will be a sophomore this Fall at San Diego State University. I graduated high school with an advanced honors diploma and have been competitively dancing since I was 3. Dancing has taught me to be disciplined, hard working, and able to multitask.

Due to Covid-19 my plans for college changed so I spent the past year in Las Vegas completing my courses online while working and traveling as a full-time nanny. I have taught children with special needs how to dance as well as regularly babysit. I took on a full-time nanny position for a sweet baby boy, I started when he was 3 weeks old and wish to continue until August before I move to San Diego permanently. I am fully vaccinated, CPR, AED, and First Aid certified for adults, children, and infants. I would love the opportunity hopefully become a part of your family!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Samantha. I have my associates degree in social & behavioral sciences and currently attend cosmetology school in downtown San Diego. I have been babysitting/nannying for about 6 years now. Started out shadowing mothers at age 13, and now at 21 I have a huge love for children and their growth and learning. I have experience with all ages newborn - 13. I love family, beaches, playing in the sand, swings at the park, and painting, and especially dancing and singing. I have been a dancer my whole life up until college once I became very busy. I have my own car for transportation and I am CPR certified. I am very comfortable with all types of animals but I am very familiar with caring for cats and dogs. Please feel free to message me and ask any questions you may have. I am hoping to talk with you soon !
Thank you,
Samantha
