I am a full-time graduate student getting my Master's in Social Work at USC. I am in Los Angeles by campus, just south of downtown. I spent last semester interning at Lawndale Elementary School District in the Counseling office, working as an individual therapist with K-5th graders. I consider myself an enthusiastic, caring, and gentle caregiver. Since I was about 13 years old, many families have trusted me to watch over their homes and loved ones while they are away, sometimes for extended periods of time. I find it easy to connect with children because I consider myself a "kid at heart," but at the same time, I know how to create a balance between my role as a friendly companion and a disciplinary figure. I value the importance of instructions given to me by parents and am more than willing to comply with whatever they ask of me. I Read more will willingly do things around the house as well, even if not instructed to, such as doing dishes or taking out the trash. This is because my two main priorities are maintaining the safety of children and pets, and doing whatever I can to make life easier for the family during my time there. I hope you will consider me to nanny or babysit for your family- please contact me directly with any additional questions you may have!
