I am now available most days, nights or overnights! Either full (5 days/nights) or part time (1,2, or 3 days/nights) per week. I am used to working long hours, as most of my jobs have been for families within the medical community. In the meantime, I am also available for evening, your date nights, or overnights should you need a weekend away. Whatever your schedule is, please ask me, I may be able to help you, or work something out on a temporary basis. I graduated from C.E.R.T. (community emergency response team) Academy, taught by San Diego Fire-Rescue Dept. I am happy to be of service to my community in case of a disaster or terrorist attack. I have all three CPR certificates for infant, child, and adult. My first aid training exceeds that of the general public. I love babies/kids of all ages and they love me! I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of our military families and I give military family discounts! If your child has any special needs, such as medical or behavioral, I may charge a little more. You may contact me by text message or calling. Please leave a message with your name, number, area you live in, and the times and date you are looking for a sitter and I will be happy to return your call as soon as I am able. Thank you!

I am seeking a nanny position for overnight newborn/infant care! I am 34 years old and live in Mt. Helix with my fiancé and two Yorkies. I am a licensed real estate agent, hold a B.A. in English from ASU and have had many different types of nanny positions over the years. I became a full-time nanny the summer after my sophomore year at the University of Dayton, where I had been employed as a teacher's aid at the daycare on campus where Education majors learned how to teach children. I’ve travelled extensively both domestically and internationally as a live-in nanny, have worked for many high profile families and have had full-charge (24/7) care of children. I have cared for newborns as young as one day old, children with severe food allergies (having to carry an epi pen at all times), Asthma, ADHD, Autism and both developmental and social issues. I have done PA and house manager work, have done house sitting and pet sitting for extended periods, and have babysat large numbers of children at parties and weddings. I consider all of the kids I care for my friends, and promise every family that I sit for reliability, a fun, positive, safe environment, and sincere care. I have had such a wonderful experience on Sittercity and have become great friends with quite a few families through this website. I am American Red Cross Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED certified (expires 8/23/2023).

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.
