A little bit about me

Hi there, I'm Karla from Ecuador, I'm 29 years old and I'm a former au pair, I've been working for an amazing family for 1 year and a half, now kids are starting school so I'm looking for a new family to work for. I have 5 years of experience with kids 6 mo. till 9 yo but mostly I've worked with toddlers. I started working with kids when I was in college as part of my student schedule, I worked in a kinder Garten for few months before to come to the States and I did child care as part of my au pair training as well. I'm very active and sportive, I like to take the kids in outdoor activities and places. My strengths are patience, kindness and strong minded, but I'm very sensitive and empathic at the same time. I'm a strong driver (11 years of experience) Also I'm CPR certificated, and good swimmer.
I have a degree in psychology

A little bit about me

My name is Helena and taking care of children brings me so much joy! I am currently seeking a full-time nanny position. I would love to find a long-term, full-time nanny position with a family that is a great fit. After spending some time pursuing real estate, I realized that working with children is my true passion and I'm so excited to devote all my time to it.

I have 5+ years of experience in childcare with children ranging from 2 months - 10 years. I am Red Cross Certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid. I am a college graduate and have completed relevant courses in Psychology, Human Development, and Counseling Techniques. I am more than happy to grocery shop, run errands, meal prep, and help with laundry and cleaning around the house.

I am a patient, loving, and enthusiastic nanny. With the kids I take care of, I love listening to music, dancing, doing crafts, playing outside, going to the playground, etc.

Looking forward to connecting!

A little bit about me

I am 25 years old and I live in Encinitas. My main job workload permits me extra time and I want to fill that with doing things that I love. I have been nannying since I was a little girl. I am innately a caregiver and get along with children very easily. I come from a family of five other brothers and sisters. My mom used to keep me home from school somedays when she was overwhelmed because I was always such a good helper. Some things never change! I am very OCD and will leave everything better than I found it. I look forward to letting you know more about me!

A little bit about me

Hello! I moved Into San Diego in 2019, from the east coast and I’ll be moving to mission bay in two weeks. I run an online health and wellness coaching business, that I’ve done for about four years. But due to Covid, I was laid off from my other full time job in March 2020, working with a property management company. I’ll be looking for around 30 hours a week of work, starting in the late summer to early fall of 2021. I graduated from Virginia Tech with a communications major in 2015. And I have a golden retriever that I love! I worked as a nanny for a few months, in the military community when I lived In Jacksonville, Florida. I was home with the 3 year old during the day, cooking meals, playing and helping around the apartment with her and the dog. Then in the afternoon I’d pick the 6 year old up from school. I’m very clean and organized and enjoy cooking and being outside. I cant wait to meet you!
