A little bit about me

Hello! I'm wrapping up my bachelor's degree in September, so if not in the library or at the beach, I'm trying to find ways to bond with my neices in San Diego.

Nannying for them has not only been an enriching experience for me but has also shown me how important being a loving and secure care take is.

I am bilingual and am fluent in Spanish and can teach them if you'd like that.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jackie Schneider, and I'm looking for a summer nannying job. I am a UCSB student majoring in Psychology and Brain Sciences.

In regards to my history with babysitting, I've been looking after children since I was 13 years old! I have a lot of experience, specifically
with kids who are around 1-10 years old. I would consider myself intelligent, bubbly, organized, responsible, and quite funny (at least to kids)! I know how to make children laugh and stray away from boredom. I am also a great tutor and can be strict when necessary.

A little bit about me

I have five years of experience as a babysitter. I am comfortable working with children of all ages and can handle multiple children at once. Additionally, I am very comfortable with animals and can provide assistance with light housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, chores, and running errands. My experience working as both a summer camp attendee and leader has given me plenty of ideas for fun activities to keep children engaged and entertained. I also have experience as a teacher assistant in a kindergarten class, which has taught me how to help with homework and plan educational activities. If you're looking for a reliable and caring babysitter or nanny, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
