A little bit about me

Hi there!

My name is Patricia, I am 27, and I’m currently relocating from St Thomas USVI and am looking for a full-time nannying job out in San Diego. I have worked with kids since I was old enough to, and my positions include camp counselor, teacher’s assist, Jumpstart Corps Member, preschool volunteer, and of course, nanny. I have references and a resume I am happy to provide. Outside of early childhood education and babysitting, I work in the sustainability field and am interested in environmental issues. I love to bike, spend time with my cat, listen to music, rock climb and do yoga. Although I don’t have a vehicle, I plan on getting one soon after I relocate to San Diego. Thanks for considering me!

A little bit about me

Hi! Im 26 i have a 4 year old son and 16 month old daughter. I love to be around kids! I am a military spouse and the oldest of 16 kids ranging from 1yr-22yrs. I come from divorced parents with a military dad. I have watched kids for as long as i can remember in church, for friends and family. I am looking for someone around the age of my son, as I would like him to start being around more people. Because of having 2 kids under school aged im looking to care for kids IN MY home! Im willing to work with a price that fits both our budgets! I was CPR and first aid certified but i think it expired the beginning of 2021. I would like someone who is okay with my son and daughter being around. As childcare is pricey and to pay for them to be in childcare just to be working in childcare seems silly! Thank you!!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Allison, I'm 21 years old, and I recently graduated from the University of San Diego. I have experience caring for young children, especially toddlers and preschoolers. At my dance studio, I regularly watched over the little girls during long recital days—helping with snacks, keeping them entertained, and getting their hair and costumes ready. I've also spent time babysitting my younger cousin, which has given me even more hands-on experience with younger kids. I truly enjoy spending time with children and love being part of their daily fun. I'm really looking forward to meeting your family and helping out however I can!
