A little bit about me

My name is Izzy and I am on the lookout for a new nanny family to join! Over the past two years, I've had the joy of being part of an amazing family, but their child starts preschool this September.

A little bit about me... I hold a bachelor's degree in psychology and have a background in residential youth counseling and full-time nannying. I've found a deep satisfaction in working with children facing mental health challenges and intellectual disabilities. In the future, I have plans to pursue a master's degree in social work or clinical counseling, but for now, I'm fully dedicated to and loving my role as a nanny. Through my experiences with three families (two during college and one post grad), I've truly become a part of their families, and I'm eager to find a new family where that connection can thrive!

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Oleana! I'd love to be considered as your babysitter. I've been babysitting since I was a pre-teen, whether it was taking care of my younger cousins or babysitting my neighbor's children, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Creating a safe and creative atmosphere with a child including drawing, learning simple recipes, or allowing them to include me in their imaginative adventures has always been a delight! As for infants a peaceful and gentle space is my biggest priority. I'm a very communicative person! Any specific routines or certain methods preferred by your family I am all ears for and always follow through to the best of my abilities.

I love working with children and hope to actually get a degree that allows me to either teach primary school, or help support and protect kids. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I'd love to connect!

Warmly, Oleana

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a mother of 6! My motherhood experience has taught me that each child is unique and they each require something different. I love being a mom and raising my children. I retired from the tech industry a few years back and decided to do what I love.
My heart is big and ready to help you raise the next generation of amazing humans!! I love the beach and the outdoors - it's may favorite. In addition to the beach, I enjoy baking and gardening. I love teaching and making learning fun. I believe that structure and routine are key to healthy development.
Thank you in advance for your consideration. Be well!

A little bit about me

Hello, I am a San Diego native. I love being outdoors on my days off with my dog and family! My experience with childcare began when my dad asked me to start help babysitting for his friends at age 13, and now here I am 20 years later still babysitting and possibly nannying :) My current role as Assistant Manager at a Wellness center provides me the stability I need for income but I would love to transition back to caring for individuals and maybe exploring childcare or child development as a career in the future. I have some college units done including child development. I also teach Yoga at the YMCA once a week. I am healthy, kind and honest. Thank you for your consideration :)
