A little bit about me

Hi I'm Tatem Tangvald, a 23 year old moving to San Diego this October! I have two younger brothers (ages 12 and 9), and really miss spending time with kids, especially since they are getting older while I am away. I want to fill some free time in the next few months as my schedule is very open. I have lots of experience with babysitting/nannying, as well as helping to care for my younger brothers as they were growing up.
I have experience with babies nannying for a family that had an 6 month old, who I spent time with until she was 16 months.
My most recent experience has been caring for two little boys (1 and 3), but unfortunately will not be able to spend time with them after my move. Getting to be with kids during such important time in their lives is so special!

A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Savannah, I’m 20 years old, and I just moved here from Colorado. So far, I’ve been absolutely loving it, especially the amazing weather!
I’ve been around kids for as long as I can remember. Being the oldest of four siblings and the oldest niece in my family, I naturally fell into the role of helping and caring for little ones early on. Most recently, I worked as a Lead Teacher at The Goddard School in the 1s–2s classroom before moving to San Diego, and I absolutely loved it.
I have experience with kids of all ages, and caring for them truly brings me so much joy. I’d be thrilled to get to know your family and be a part of your child’s world. If you think I might be a good fit, I’d love the opportunity to chat!
