A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Esther, and I'm so excited to get to know you and your family! My involvement in children's foundations, in addition to music classes, have been my greatest motivation to work with kids and through games and crafts, respect and patience, provide them with a safe space in which they can express themselves, learn and laugh. I recently finished my ESL classes in transition to college and I am a children's teacher at my local church. I'm looking forward to bringing compassion and care for every aspect of the daily routines and activities of their children, as well as a lot of fun!

A little bit about me

My name is Maria, I’m 26 years old. I’m from Montana, but I’ve lived in California for 6 years. I’ve been around kids my whole life, I used to nanny my three nephews four days a week until I started school. Then I moved here and started nannying four girls under the age of 7. I was with the family for three years. Then I was a full time nanny to three kiddos ages 3mo, 2, and 4 and I was with them for 1 year . I have pretty flexible availability and am very reliable. I hope to hear from you soon :)
