A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Illiana and I’m a 21 year old recent graduate from San Antonio TX! I just moved here to San Diego in June due to my husbands military orders and want something to do while he’s gone for Japan for 2 years, I get lonely being by myself everyday and would love to get back into the nanny business.
It’s been over a year since I’ve done a job like this but I love kids and being around kids since I was the youngest in my family and didn’t have that when I was little.
I’m very fun and outgoing and love to talk, play, and learn about each and every kid that I nanny.
I dont know how to cook anything really besides basics such as sandwiches, breakfast tacos, grilled cheese, etc., but can learn by recipes in needed.
Looking forward to meeting some of you soon and take care!
Also fully vaccinated with pfizer!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is dejanae and I’m 20 about to be 21 years old in February. I run on the sdsu track team and I’m a jumper there. I also attend school at sdsu and my major is criminal justice, psychology, and sociology. I get COVID tested weekly for track so if that’s something that you would like to make sure of too, I can send you my COVID results I get weekly as well. I am a very active, fun loving, and sweet person that really loves kids. I took child development for two years back in high school and in my classes now I have been learning about the mind and social awareness of children as well!!! (Little fact lol). But I have been nanny and babysitting for a while, and I’m excited to get ready for my next adventure. Message if you have any questions!
