A little bit about me
Reliable, friendly, patient marketing professional and mother of a 21-year-old college student. Looking for occasional care jobs while searching for a flexible corporate job. As a mom of a child who went to Montessori, public school, and University (opera), I chaperoned choir trips to Europe, music lessons, and kids' theater. I have a BA in Literature from UC Irvine, lived in Germany for a year, and speak some German and French. For 25 years, I've managed sales, marketing, events, and websites related to music, education, tech, and retail for corporate and family businesses, so I’m a good multitasker and calm under pressure. I was a sitter in my teens, including autistic children. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. Happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, chaperoning zoom lessons, transportation, and shopping (I am a Costco member). My SUV seats 7 (or 5 with groceries and a stroller). Passed Red Cross Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED.

I grew up in Oakland and went to school at UCSC then stayed in the area afterwards working in the outdoor education field. I find it special for be an extra adult in a child’s life that they can go to for help and learn from in addition to their parents. I really enjoy art, nature, cooking, singing, and going on adventures! I am very responsible, organized and communicative. I’d love to meet you to see how my experience and skills can fit you and your families needs!

A little bit about me
I am a full time student at Cabrillo College studying English in hopes to one day become an English professor. I love children and being in a role of guardianship. I have babysat ever since I was 12. I nannied for my neighbor and took care of her two young kids for about 3 years. Eventually I moved to a different city but continued babysitting. I love children and helped raise my younger brother who is now 9 years old. Because we are 10 years apart I was old enough to babysit him when he was a baby all the way up to the age he is currently. So I would say I’m experienced in all ages of children. I have also babysat toddlers and babies separately from my brother and am fully equipped for diaper changing bottle feeding and any other needs of a younger child.
