A little bit about me

I am Retired from the San Mateo County sheriffs forensic lab with a masters degree. Once retired I chose to work with a family for seven years, even living with them full-time during the Covid shut down to help with homeschooling for their three children ages 4,8,and 10. At the end of 2020 I moved to San Diego where I worked for a family with an 18 month old little girl I’ve stayed with that family until she entered first grade. I am looking for a family that needs someone part time possibly 1 or 2 days a week.
