A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Morgan and I have helped nanny my little sister since she was born and now that she is getting older I would like to broaden my horizons and care for more children. I love adventure, baking, and trying new things. I love to keep it positive and believe in equal rights and support the lgbtq+ community :) I am open-minded and would prefer to work for a family that is just as open-minded.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Wendy and I’m looking for a job and I’m only 17 years old. I am not CPR certified but I’m really good at taking care of kids. Currently I’m taking care of 2 kids, one of them is 5 years old and the other is 7 and both are boys. I don’t get paid because it’s a mother of a friend of mine. I’ve taken care of new born baby’s. I know how to clean the baby, shower them as well as change diapers. I’m very friendly, I will gladly take the baby out on a walk, I will play with the baby and give the baby the attention he needs. I know there are people older and more certified but trust me, I’ve had a lot of experience with babies . Thank you so much!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Zion Granatowicz. As of right now, I am a college student attending UCSC. I have two siblings, both of which are younger than me. I am from Brazil and I am fluent in Portuguese as well as English. I came to the US in 2017 and have been here since then. My grades are by no means impressive but I do consider myself proficient enough in every subject to help someone younger than me.
