A little bit about me

Hello,

I am a 25 year old female who lives in La Jolla, CA. I currently work in the corporate world planning pharmaceutical meetings and events. I have recently realized I would prefer to work with families/children and transition out of the corporate world. As a division 1 college cheerleader, part of our job was to connect with community and especially young girls and boys whose dream may have been to go to NC State one day. I would love to make these personal connections again.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Hanne Somers, and I’m a 21-year-old pre-med student at Point Loma Nazarene University. I have been babysitting for about 7 years and also worked as a camp counselor for several years, so I have lots of experience caring for kids of different ages.
I love spending time with kids and am looking for a summer nanny position. I’m available for most of May through August, although there are a couple of weeks I will be out of town. I love being outdoors, doing crafts, playing games, and finding fun ways to keep kids active and engaged.
My CPR and First Aid certifications expired last year, but I would be more than happy to renew them. I’m responsible, caring, and would love the chance to help out a family this summer!
I’m comfortable helping with things like meals, driving kids to activities, light cleanup, and keeping them busy with fun activities during the day.
I would love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family.
