I was a nanny for a wonderful family in Rancho Santa Fe, Ca for over six years. I took care of two children beginning at ages 3 and 5, until they were 10 and 12. The only reason I am no longer with that family is because my husband accepted a new job in Arizona. I am still very close with the family, as they consider me to be a part of their family. The kids and I had so much fun together. We played games, baked, played outside, went to the park, Legoland, Sea World, movies, the beach, library, etc. We loved to do crafts and read stories. I drove kids to and from school and to any activities they had. I also helped mom and dad out with groceries and light housekeeping. I helped the kids with homework after school and prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for them. Read more I have always had a passion for children, watching them grow and helping them learn. I am a very fun-loving, dependable, responsible woman. I was always taught that being early is on time, so I am very rarely late. I absolutely love children. They bring such joy to my life. I studied psychology and family studies at The University of Arizona. I am CPR and First Aid certified. While in college I taught preschool and then returned to the same school when my husband and I moved back to Arizona. I have excellent references and have experience with all age groups.
