A little bit about me

I am an undergraduate student at UCSD studying human development. I enjoy interacting with children. I have experience in daycare/preschool setting more than being a nanny. However, I believe these skills would be best fit for a single child to receive individual focus. I would like to provide and assist the family best way possible. My career goal is receive a PhD in Developmental Psychology with a focus on infancy.

A little bit about me

Hello, I am a Colombian girl, graduated from the Normal Superior School of Bucaramanga, with the title of "bachelor with deepening in education"; This institution is dedicated to the training of teachers and is recognized at the national level. One of the subjects related to the formation of children was "workshop", a class in which we had to apply what we learned theoretically by teaching students of the same institution (public) and other institutions (biberonex, private). I worked with childs between 4 and 7 years; the practice as a teacher was not paid, on the contrary it was qualifiable. I am currently in San Diego learning English at the University and I am looking for resources to pay my stay (until December 10, 2019). Last December I finished my career, industrial engineering at Santo Tomás University and my graduation will be just back in Colombia. My level of english is basic (B1).

A little bit about me

I truly enjoy being around children and helping them grow. I have hands-on experience caring for my two younger cousins since they were infants—feeding them, preparing healthy meals, playing, and assisting with their needs as they grew. I bring that same level of care and attention to any family I work with. I am responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help with light housework and can also take care of pets if needed. I am fairly new to San Diego and have been looking for work. Unfortunately I do not have a car and can only walk or uber to you destination and i am not cpr certified but I can assist in first aid. I hope for some the isn't a problem and will be willing to work with me
