A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Yana and I am 34 years old. I have worked as an assistant kindergarten teacher for three years at a Montessori school and did the after school babysitting, drop off, and art tutoring for one of my students. I also have several years experience babysitting toddlers, infants, and children from ages 3 months to 10 years old. I was caring for twin boys and their infant sister for one year and a half. Altogether, I've worked for more than 6 families. I went to Fontbonne University, Bachelor in Fine Arts, Painting and Sculpture (graduated in 2015) and Midwest Institute (graduated in 2017) to be a dental assistant and worked at a dental office for more than 2 years. I am fluent in both English and Russian. I would like to be a live-in nanny and my availability is open at this moment. Please feel free to contact me and thank you for your time!

A little bit about me

Hey there! My name is Fadila, but I go by Lilly. I am a UCLA graduate and recently moved to San Diego. My degree is in Anthropology, but I have always loved working with kids. My long-term goal is to go to nursing school and become a Pediatric RN. I have interned on the NICU and PEDS floors at the UCLA Ronald Reagan hospital, am CPR-certified, and have babysat/nannied for 4 different families (infant-9yrs). I have also taken child development courses and am a strong proponent of nature + nurture. I have a drivers license and can provide any additional information needed. I'm very family-oriented (the youngest of 6!), and my mom is my best friend. I also love animals and have no allergies. Growing up around children, I understand how difficult it is trusting strangers with your little ones. I hope I can help to alleviate some of that stress and be a reliable and honest addition to your family.

A little bit about me

I am a certified preschool teacher with a degree in child and family development. I have about 15 years of experience caring for and teaching children. I am very passionate about teaching children, understanding their developmental needs and their unique individuality. To describe my care and teaching style would be: children deserve unconditional love, support, and respect in order to learn successfully while having fun and a routine. I have specialized skills because I studied brain development of children. So, I can tell you why your child is doing something and what I would be teaching them in order to facilitate appropriate learning styles and skills. Another important aspect of what I will do with your child is respecting their and your boundaries and I expect that in return. I am an extremely hard worker and value the time spent with kids, I am firm about what my position will include and the hours of my job, once we settle an agreement. I look forward to hearing from you!
