A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Celina. I have over 5 years of experience nannying infants from a few weeks old, toddlers, preschool age, elementary, middle school, all the way to kids that are starting off high school. Throughout these years, I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of children, each with their own unique personalities and needs. I keep children safe and take care of their needs, ensuring that they are not only well-cared for but also thriving emotionally and intellectually. I know that each stage of development requires different approaches and activities, so I tailor my care to meet the needs of each age group. Additionally, I follow their parents' parenting guidelines closely, respecting their philosophies and routines while providing a nurturing environment that encourages growth and exploration.

Ultimately, my goal as a nanny is to be a positive influence in their lives, helping them navigate their formative years with love, guidance, and a sense of security.

A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Kayla! Before I began my corporate career I worked in childcare for years. I have 3 younger siblings I played a major role in raising as well and am lucky enough to be the babysitter for all of my closest friends. I've been burnt out with my corporate job so I'm looking for a nanny position where I can make a positive impact and help a family. I love kids and take my role in their lives seriously. I'm energetic, outgoing, and a natural nurturer. Happy to take on any additional housekeeping or meal prepping that is needed help with also!

A little bit about me

Hello, thank you for for taking the time to view my profile! My name is Grace, and I am looking for a full-time nanny/family assistant position for the [phone number hidden] school year in the San Diego area (I am located in north Mission Beach and willing to commute up to 40 min). I have completed 12 units of ECE and this year I will be a junior transfer in a fully online B. A. program for Early Childhood Development through California State University, East Bay, so my schedule is very flexible. I currently live in the South Bay and care for a family in Manhattan Beach with 3 children ages 9, 9, and 6. Duties include pickups from school, transportation to and from all activities and appointments, meal and snack prep, errands, dishes, laundry, etc. I love my current position and would love to find a similar position with more hours (I am comfortable working up to 45-50 hours on long weeks, 35-40 hours regularly). I am CPR + First Aid certified, have reliable and insured transportation, as well as a clean driving record, and swim instruction/lifeguard experience. I have experience with multiples, children with special needs (autism), and learning disabilities.
