A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Bri, I grew up in Montana. I’m making the move to San Diego this May, and I’d love to be your family’s nanny when I arrive!
I’ve loved working with kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the last two years working in preschools, where I’ve learned a lot about child development and age appropriate activities for children and infants to aid in their learning. I’m an artist and I love to do art with the kids, I think it’s an awesome way for them to express themselves!
It’s one of my passions to be a teacher and leader for children as they grow and make their way in the world!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Catherine, I go by Cat. I am 21 years old and go to school as a psychology major. All of my classes are online so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I am the oldest child of three and grew up taking care of my youngest sibling, my brother. I babysat throughout high school and got CPR certified when I was younger, it has expired but I will take the class again if needed. I live a healthy and active lifestyle that, in my opinion, sets a good example. I have taken two child development classes which have helped me understand how to better interact with different ages. I love children of all ages, however babies are my favorite to take care of. I am from the Sacramento area and recently moved down to San Diego because I have always wanted to live here. Optimism and patience are two of my strengths and self-comparison is one of my weaknesses. I am comfortable with changing diapers, bottle feeding, burping, and teaching the older kids. I can’t wait to start!
