A little bit about me

Hello Families! My name is Jenny, I am 25 years old and I am searching for a full time nanny position here in San Diego! I am highly qualified with over seven years of professional paid childcare experience. I recently moved back to San Diego after living in France for ten months and working as an au pair for a French family. I love working with children and I have found it to truly be my passion… I find providing support to families and watching children hit developmental milestones to be incredibly rewarding. I always keep a positive attitude, I am enthusiastic, responsible, and reliable. I am CPR/ first aid certified, trust line verified, I have a clean driving record and a clear background check. I am comfortable with children of all ages and multiples and would prefer to work with infants or toddlers at the time. I am also comfortable with light housekeeping duties such as dishes, meal prep, laundry, gardening, as well as running errands and other household management tasks.

A little bit about me

Hi Families!

Please let me know if you’re looking for a full-time Nanny (earliest start time 8am), 35-50 hours a week. I have over 20 years experience working with young children (infants, toddlers & preschool).also have experience with school age if you have older siblings. I hold degrees in Early Childhood Education, certificates in both infant /toddler & preschool. Also undergrad degree in Psychology & MBA. First Aid/CPR. Fully Vaccinated.

I’m located by SDSU, but would prefer to work near the coast if possible (PB, La Jolla, Carmel Valley, Del Mar). My starting rate is no lower than $25/hr for one child (I charge fair market rate, especially given my experience and education, but do appreciate that I’m not in everyone’s budget). If you’re interested in learning more, you are welcome to message me & I can send you the link to my bio. Thanks :)
