Hey there! My name is Selena and I am a full time college student studying to obtain my bachelor’s degree in child development. I currently work as a preschool teacher/student teacher at an elementary to gain experience for my future career as a school age teacher. I’ve been working with children for 3 years now! I can honestly say it’s amazing! Gaining their trust is one of my priorities. With the school’s trust I have students from ages 4-5years young to myself and plan out a day’s schedule and curriculum for them. From helping with homework to doing an educational activity (of course I have to add in arts and crafts for fun right after!)

Taking care of children is a fun and fulfilling experience for me. I am CPR and first aid certified. During high school, I worked and volunteered at a family child care facility, where I helped coordinate and facilitate activities with the children as well as help with some of the housekeeping. Then, in college, I was a reading tutor at an after-school program, where I helped grade school students complete their homework and improve their reading skills. While in college, I studied abroad in France, where I worked as a babysitter for a French family. I was responsible for picking up the child from school and teaching him English. I cared for multiple Bay Area families before moving to San Diego. In San Diego, I have cared for numerous families and do after-school pickup, occasional babysitting, and date night sitting. I am bilingual in Spanish and know a few French words. I am passionate about caring for children as I am one of seven children and have five nieces and one nephew.

Hello Families! My name is Antonella, I am 28 years old, originally from Argentina. I came to the US 8 years ago to be an Au Pair and work with young children. I graduated last year with a BA in Psychology and now I work occasionally as a nanny and date nights sitter:) I have 10 years of experience with children of different ages (4 months old - 15 years old) and I enjoy spending time with all of them! Before starting college I was an Au Pair for two years and gained a lot of experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers/kindergarteners. I’ve worked as a live in nanny, live out full time and part time, and occasionally nanny for multiple families! I’m happy to teach kids Spanish and I’m comfortable with all their routines (daytime, nap time, evenings, night time, homework). I’m also comfortable driving with them and helping them with their homework! I took Child Development classes at SMC and I learned a lot about, as a caregiver, how to help children to develop their physical, cognitive, and emotional skills. - Fully vaccinated - Own transportation - Reliable references - Driver License - Non-smoker - Comfortable with pets
