A little bit about me

Hello! I am 25 years old, will be 26 in March and looking for a part time nanny opportunity. I currently live in Ocean Park, Santa Monica but originally from Bloomfield Hills Michigan. I am the oldest and have 2 younger siblings who are currently in college! I moved to LA about 4 years ago. I was recently laid off from my corporate job in December. Before working my corporate job I would nanny 2 different families and watched the kids grow up into high school. I would do pick up and drop off for school, after school care, weekend babysitting, staying over night while the parents went out of town, basically anything and everything! I also am super comfortable with animals large and small. I have experience dog / cat sitting over night as well. My hours are very flexible. I do not have a car so looking for something local to Santa Monica, Venice, Ocean Park area.

A little bit about me

I am a social worker turned educator that centers feelings, learning through games, creating schedules, and Montessori style learning. I have taught all ages in both large and small groups and am looking to focus my attention to the few rather than the ton to maximize learning. Hope this aligns with you!
