A little bit about me

I'm 21 and moved from New Mexico to San Diego. I have experience in babysitting and nannying, worked with multiple families in providing full-time care for children aged 5m-12 years. I can provide references.
I love working with children and am proficient in managing their educational needs, like homework assistance. I am well-versed in potty training, behavioral management, and have experience working with special needs children. My interests are architecture, arts and crafts, music, outdoor activities, which I'm excited to share with your kids. These activities not only entertain but also stimulate their creativity and learning. I understand that every child is unique and I'm committed to providing a safe, caring, and fun environment tailored to their needs. I prioritize play and outdoor time, and I've learned alot about milestones and child development. I have reliable transportation. Additionally, I'm in nanny connections and groups, to keep updated and connected in the community.

Hello, my name is Bianca. I am responding with enthusiasm to your job posting for nanny or babysitter. My childcare career started in London, I cared for triplets while both parents were working full-time. The children were dropped off at my home at 7:00am and picked up at 5:00 after a full day of feeding, napping, playing, reading and trips to the local park. One of my most memorable childcare experiences was as a volunteer as a room mom at my daughters school, Grant School in Mission Hills, California. I would help the teachers each year in their classroom with whatever they would need. This included support in the classroom, arranging and supervising field trips and extracurricular activities. At this time I was also working for a family in Del Cerro as a house manager and nanny of their twin girls.
