A little bit about me

I am a non smoking college graduate with 2 children, age 23 and 20. Our family migrated to San Francisco from Hong Kong.

I am an experienced care giver. I cared for my son who had special needs in care from birth to 10-year. I have been a paid nanny for over 3 years. I am warm, attentive and nutrition conscious. I mainly cook with fresh, organic vegetable, pasture raised meats, and heritage grains like spelt, Kamut and einkorn from scratch.

Knowing the early experiences of a child which are compressed into the subconscious mind influence a person's lifetime behavior, I believe positive emotional support for children, is as important as nutritious food.

I have a certificate of health massage from Hong Kong. I love to give children positive strokes and gentle massage when I carry them, or before they sleep. I believe this would bring them better sense of security and sense of worth.

Finally, I speaks fluent English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

A little bit about me

Hi! I am moving to San Francisco to start my MSN program at USF. I am looking for a family to work and grow with these next 2.5 years while I am in school. I do not have an exact date or location for my move yet, but I am hoping to work with the right fit to live close to work.

Over the past 9 years I have been a professional babysitter, nanny, respite caregiver, personal family assistant, and a program director for the Davis Joint Unified School District. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, multiples, and children with developmental or physical disabilities. I am comfortable with supervising water play, potty training, grocery runs, meal prepping, driving children, and more.

On my time off I love to spend time talking with friends, going to the beach, and trying new foods. After completing my MSN, I hope to work as a RN in a pediatric care setting for a few years before becoming a NP, and in the future a midwife. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
