A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Mayra, I'm 27 years old and. I have a degree in Communications. I am bilingual speaking both Spanish and English.
I am a no smoker and I am an independent and organized individual.
I have been taking care of infants and children in private homes for the last 18 years of my life, and obtained in that time, an important portfolio of regular clients who were satisfied with my services. In that time, I have never suffered any incident or a problem of significance. Furthermore, I have always worked efficiently and understand how serious my responsibilities are when looking after the children I am caring for.
My experience is with babies from 2 months old to 12 years old. I like to play games, assist them with their homework, and also to be there with a smile when they need it most. I sincerely believe that children are my vocation.
I hope my presentation convinced you and to hear back soon.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
Thank you again!
- Mayra.

A little bit about me

My name is Elaina, I’m originally from Chicago, IL and moved to San Diego, CA just over a year ago. My current position in San Diego is coming to an end and while I love the west coast, I’m a city girl at heart so I am headed back to Chicago as my home base while I look for my next position, wherever that might be, with a great new family!

I have over 5 years of experience working with all kinds of children and families and it truly is my passion to provide quality childcare by not only helping children grow socially, emotionally, intellectually and physically but also by being a support for the whole family because growing up in a single parent household, I know first hand it really does take a village.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions and to see my resume!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,
Elaina :)
