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!

Piano &/or Art Lessons, are roughly $40-$60, all supplies included. Sickness Policy: Typically. I will not care for sick children. However, It depends on what they have. As someone who has kids at home & works with other families, I don't want to risk getting them sick. If it's contagious, I leave it to the parents to be parents & I stay home to avoid spreading it from one household to the other. Just like if my kids at home were sick, I wouldn't take their germs to work with me. If it isn't contagious, then I stick to whatever needs to be done: medicine, cuddling & fluids. My favorite sports are: Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Dance (Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballroom), Fishing, Hula-hooping, Jump Rope, kickball, Roller Skating, Swimming, Tennis, Twirling, Yoga.

I have 36 years experience. Both hands on and educational ( AA in Early Childhood) . Certificates in Early Childhood education. I am originally from the East Coast but also have lived in Southern California. My favorite thing about being a Nanny is contributing to the development of the child. Continuity of care is the most important gift you can give to a child. That means a person in your home who loves on your child, along with teaching age appropriate activities. Challenging both the mind and the body. Love starting with newborns and watching them grow. Seeing how the hours of reading and talking to the child. Then creates a child who is advanced in language. Along with singing and explaining there worlds around them. In addition to taking full advantage of S. Diego's weather and being outside as much as possible to strengthen their gross motor skills. Along with self esteem building. Having them assist you in early stages of cooking. When a child feels good about themselves. Their confidence spills over in everything they attempt and then accomplish. Love to see them accomplish a once challenging task. It is a great advantage to have a Nanny in the home for when a child does get his/her first cold, or new tooth. Have the Nanny be there for them. In addition taking care of the parents and home needs gives parents peace of mind. So they can go out into the world in their professions. I enjoy cooking, laundry, teaching your child to walk, swim, paint, draw, lots of other arts and craft activities. Most of all building a strong foundation of security. I am Trustlined Certified. C.P.R & First aid certified. Covid vaccine & boosters. T.B. test negative. Liberal minded Nanny looking for families who have same views. I am trying to create a great Citizen within your child.
