A little bit about me

I graduated from St Louis University with a BA in Psychology. I have much nannying experience, and also have two much younger siblings whom I helped raise when in high school. They are 12 and 15 years younger than I.

If swim lessons are ever needed I coached a swim team of 150+ kids for a couple years and am very experienced in that department. I created daily swim lessons and supervised up to 25 kids at a time with the help of swimmer coaches.

I currently supervise a kindergarten pod of 7 children. Due to Covid the kids are meeting online with teachers. I make sure all are logging into meetings at correct times (each kid has a different schedule). I also plan extracurricular activities such as art, PE, and science.

I have nannied for other families with young children, as young as 3 months old. I am a very clean and organized individual, and I enjoy meal prepping.

I am looking to move to San Diego in the very near future. I think I would be a great fit for your family :)

A little bit about me

Hi! My experience in caregiving started in high school where I cared for infants, babies, and children while going to school. I then began my nanny career at 19 when I began nannying for a 4 year old boy who I adored. I still keep in touch with his family and have had the privilege of seeing him grow. After that I worked for a non-profit organization called the ARCC Center Foundation where I cared for infants, children, and adults with special needs. There I gained experience in administering medication and received training in seizure procedures. It was a wonderful experience. I decided I wanted to go back to working with individual families and got a job as a nanny for a beautiful one year old little boy. I am First-Aid/CPR/AED and as stated earlier, I have training in seizure procedures and experience in administering medication. I can't wait to meet you and your little bundle of joy!

Hello, thank you for for taking the time to view my profile! My name is Grace, and I am looking for a full-time nanny/family assistant position for the [phone number hidden] school year in the San Diego area (I am located in north Mission Beach and willing to commute up to 40 min). I have completed 12 units of ECE and this year I will be a junior transfer in a fully online B. A. program for Early Childhood Development through California State University, East Bay, so my schedule is very flexible. I currently live in the South Bay and care for a family in Manhattan Beach with 3 children ages 9, 9, and 6. Duties include pickups from school, transportation to and from all activities and appointments, meal and snack prep, errands, dishes, laundry, etc. I love my current position and would love to find a similar position with more hours (I am comfortable working up to 45-50 hours on long weeks, 35-40 hours regularly). I am CPR + First Aid certified, have reliable and insured transportation, as well as a clean driving record, and swim instruction/lifeguard experience. I have experience with multiples, children with special needs (autism), and learning disabilities.
