A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Laura. I’m a CPR-certified CNA from Florida, and I’m a military spouse relocating to San Diego next week. I absolutely love working with children, and although my experience isn’t from a formal nanny job, I have plenty of hands-on childcare experience with family and little ones I’ve cared for over the years. I’m reliable, patient, bilingual (English/Spanish), and very excited to connect with families in the area and start as soon as possible. Thank you for considering me!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m currently taking a gap from college to explore my career goals and navigate my midtwenties. I grew up helping my mom, who’s been a licensed home childcare provider for over 25 years, so I’ve always been surrounded by children. I have experience caring for kids from 3months to 7 years old and truly love watching them learn and grow.
I’m CPR and AED certified, detail-oriented, and reliable. I make sure children’s schedules, food lists, and routines are always up to date. I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can be themselves and parents can feel at ease. One day, I hope to become a teacher, and I see every childcare experience as a chance to learn, connect, and make a difference!

A little bit about me

My name is Kacie Walker, I am a student at San Diego State University. I am 21 years old and will be going into my second semester as a Junior year at San Diego State University. Through school, I am studying Kinesiology-pre Physical Therapy, to eventually attend grad school and become a pediatric physical therapist. I have a lot of interest working with children. I have been a babysitter occasionally throughout my years in high school. I have also been a competitive cheerleading coach for about 8 years and have worked with kids ranging from 3 years old - 17 years old. I am CPR certified and BLS certified. I am very energetic, positive, organized, disciplined, confident and highly adaptive. I have experience with animals, as I have a dog and a cat myself. I would be able to drive the children to their respective locations for sports or other extra curricular activities. Lastly, I am extremely organized, therefore household work would be no problem at all.
