Meet Sylvia

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am currently a first time freshman at HSU, and I graduated high school with a 4.5 GPA. I was a WSI (Water Safety Instructor) certified Swim Teacher at the Marin JCC for 2 years, and I have been teaching swim lessons since I was 15. I have been Red Cross Baby Sitter Certified (includes first aide and CPR) since I was 12, and have been babysitting since then. I have a younger brother in his teens, so I know how to take care of young teenagers too! I am a licensed driver, and I have been driving for 2 years, no accidents, no points on my license. I love outdoor activities, but I love having fun inside too! I can cook basic meals, and I am comfortable working weekends if I have the time. I love babysitting because any first hand experience with children will help me in the Read more future when I become a parent myself!
