A little bit about me

Hello everyone! I am a recent graduate from Pepperdine University with a B.S in Psychology! I have been working with children for about four to five years now. My experience ranges vastly- from interning as a School's Psychologist's Assistant, to babysitting all my way through college and working with children with special needs. I was born and raised in Guatemala so if you are interested in your child learning Spanish, I would be more than happy to help with that. I am a creative and fun individual who will prioritize your child at all times!

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Ingrid and I’m looking for a nanny job! A little bit about me-I'm 23 and just graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in Psychology. I was born and raised in Missoula, Montana in a tight knit family of 5. I swam competitively my whole life so I'm super comfortable in the water :) I have experience working with children of a variety of ages- After graduating from HS I volunteered for 1yr in an Americorps program working and teaching in a 3rd grade classroom in a school in NH. I also worked with children 4-13 after & before school. Summer of 2022 I was a full time nanny for a 2-year-old boy (45 hrs/wk) -I am comfortable with potty training, nap time, swim help, and tutoring. This past quarter in San Luis Obispo I interned at Monarch Hills Education, an outdoor enrichment program, where I worked with children 3-12. I have experience with neurodiversity, autism, adhd, and learning & behavioral issues. Also I love animals in case you have any pets!

A little bit about me

I grew up (born in MDR) watching & helping my mother nanny/babysit for many years. As an adult, I cared for the kids of my friends, was a nanny, driver, etc. & loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, I couldn't have kids of my own. I enjoy kids and have a good rapport with them. I find that my easygoing nature helps kids feel comfortable the moment they meet me. I am creative, athletic, fun & versatile to the child needs & interests in whatever it is they enjoy. I look forward to having the opportunity to help families, especially Single Parents in need of a trusted & caring babysitter/ nanny. Due the fact that I do not have any outside commitments, I can be flexible which has always been a benefit to the families I have worked for.
For the last 5 1/2 years I've been with my current family & helped raise their 3 beautiful children but unfortunately there was a layoff.
I am now looking for my next forever family.
I look forward to hearing from you if I seem like a good fit.
