A little bit about me

Hi I'm Mirabelle, I am a student at UCSD about to graduate in Human Biology. I have been babysitting since the age of 12 so I have plenty of experience and used to take care of four kids for one family since they were all babies. I'm super extroverted, love to be creative and love the outdoors. I absolutely adore kids and love to create fun activities for them or simply just play with them. I have watched children as young as 6 months old to as old as 14 years so I am comfortable with any and all ages. I can only do part-time nannying as I am a full-time student and supporting myself through college. With my experience, I would love to take care of your children and for you to never hesitate to communicate with me as I will do the same.

A little bit about me

I'd describe my personality as loving, optimistic and patient.

I like working with kids because it's something I have done forever and love doing. Nannying is one of the best and rewarding jobs anyone can have.

I'm looking for a job that the parents and I have great communication and we have a good relationship.

I started working with kids about 4. 5 years ago, I fell into it and I just loved it.

In my spare time I go to college and I like to to have a work and school balance. But, at the same time I love going to the beach, reading and doing quiet time at the house.

My skills include patience, knowing when to distract and creating a loving environment for the child.
