A little bit about me

Hi all, my name is Briana. I am 30, have a masters degree in social work from Boston College and have recently relocated to San Diego. I have many years of babysitting, nannying, working in a school and working as a case manager for children. I have worked with children with special needs and neurotypical children ranging in ages from 6 months-18 years. I am fortunate enough to have worked for families who have become very close to me and I still continue to babysit for them when I can. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have a car/license. I am interested in working full-time. If you are interested and think we may be a good fit, please send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hello. I am a very loving, kind and patient nanny who loves caring for and mentoring children and also love animals.

My qualifications:

Trustline certified with two teaching degrees and 16+ years experience with 0-14-year-olds as a nanny and teacher.

Trained in ages and stages, transitions, establishing routines, and teaching children who do or do not have special needs.

Practice positive reinforcement, giving choices, the redirection methodology, healthy nutrition, and daily exercise.

Customize activities around children's interests.

Ideal position: FT or PT with full days. Prefer live-out, but am open to a partial live-in for the right compensation. Am open to pickups/drop-offs/grocery shopping/errands if a nanny vehicle is available due to the cost of G/M/wear and tear for lots of short trips.

References: 7 (to be shown in an interview).

Immunizations: The TDap. (I believe a healthy lifestyle and immune system negate the need for flu shots.)

Rate: $25-35 an hour
