A little bit about me

My parents both worked, so I had to be the 3rd parent for my younger siblings. It was very difficult raising them, especially when I was also still a kid at the time. On top of that, I also did a lot of housework since our parents were usually tired after coming home from work. I am very experienced with housework, my dad made sure of that. I will help make your life easier in any way that I can.

A little bit about me

Hello parents!

I am in my late thirties, ex VP of Operations looking for some flexibility in my life. I do not have children but love being around them.

The number one thing I hear from many parents is how difficult it is to match up your morning work schedule with school drop off, and that shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. There is a way to make this affordable for everyone, especially if you have neighbors who also need morning drop off!

I was a former Girl Scout Leader, my fingerprints are in the Federal database because I have worked with children in the past, I was CPR certified for a time but would have to renew that certification, I am communicative, and extremely organized.

A little bit about me

I just moved to the San Diego area about 3 months ago with my boyfriend. I am taking a break from my professional career in science, as I adored my nannying job I had a couple years back. As someone who had such positive experiences with nannies growing up, I would love to give that same experience I had to another family.

My name is Asha Mohamud, and I’m a 19-year-old college student studying Public Health at San Diego State University. I hope to finish school and then apply to a Physician Assistant program here in San Diego. I have always been around kids—having two younger sisters and coming from a family where many relatives have up to ten children. I’ve always loved being around kids and helping them grow into adulthood, whether it’s playing games with them or coming up with imaginary stories. My life has always been full of family, and I hope to extend my joy and love for kids to other families.
