A little bit about me

Hi , my name is Dina. I am 23 years old and I was born and raised in San Diego. I am new to the nanny business but I have baby sitted relatives and enjoy spending time with kids :)
I am a kid by heart so it wouldn’t be work to me and I would love to be a positive role model as well. I can also do light house keeping and meal prepping at an additional rate.

A little bit about me

Hi I'm Alex! I'm 32 years old and I consider myself to be an outgoing individual and truly inquisitive at heart. My curiosity is what makes connecting with kids so easy! It's also led me to dabble in multiple forms of art which I enjoy practicing and love to get others involved in. I draw, paint, and recently got into ceramics. Aside from art, I love being outdoors, traveling the world, having picnics, playing games, watching movies, and cooking. I value education immensely and have always made it a priority in my life. I received my AA from the Academy of Art University, and received my BA from SFSU.

I love watching over children and making them laugh. I think it's very important to laugh and it's the best way to connect with others. I come from a big family and am accustomed to being around kids of all ages, all the time. So hanging out with kids is second nature to me.

I'm currently in SF, CA, but looking for the right family to being me back to my home town of San Diego! :)

A little bit about me

Hello Family,
My name is Carolina, I am 31 years old.
It all starts when I want to discover my vocation and I enter as an assistant in a Montessori school for approximately 1.5 years, after I decided to enter the University and I just graduated as a Dentist. In order to pay for my studies I had several jobs such as waitress/barista and babysitter which I continue to practice in my free time, weekends or vacations and possible full time. I would like to specialize in pediatrics but I will have to wait at least a couple of years.
I have always liked to be around children, they are very lovely and funny. I am also caught by the way they see life so simple. They bring even more happiness to my life.
As a health professional, being in shape is vital for me, and I am in good physical and mental health.
* I can do date nights and weekends.
