A little bit about me

Hello. I am a very loving, kind and patient nanny who loves caring for and mentoring children and also love animals.

My qualifications:

Trustline certified with two teaching degrees and 16+ years experience with 0-14-year-olds as a nanny and teacher.

Trained in ages and stages, transitions, establishing routines, and teaching children who do or do not have special needs.

Practice positive reinforcement, giving choices, the redirection methodology, healthy nutrition, and daily exercise.

Customize activities around children's interests.

Ideal position: FT or PT with full days. Prefer live-out, but am open to a partial live-in for the right compensation. Am open to pickups/drop-offs/grocery shopping/errands if a nanny vehicle is available due to the cost of G/M/wear and tear for lots of short trips.

References: 7 (to be shown in an interview).

Immunizations: The TDap. (I believe a healthy lifestyle and immune system negate the need for flu shots.)

Rate: $25-35 an hour

I am a 62 years old. I have a 30 year

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a junior at UC San Diego with several years of experience working with children. I was a swim coach with Swim by Natalie for multiple seasons and also served as a nanny for a family for over a year. These roles have taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids. I genuinely enjoy working with children and find it incredibly rewarding. I’m currently looking for a part-time nannying position where I can continue to make a positive impact.
