Hello, My name is Sylvia. I am an elder female that raised 3 sons of my own and my 2 step sons. I have natural on the job 24/7 training when it comes to child rearing. When my children were small I took them skiing every winter to Mammoth and to Hawaii or Japan in the summers. So I am use to traveling with children. My hobbies are organic farming, painting, photography, and traveling (mostly in Asia). I enjoy cooking as long as it is not meat. ( I do not have confidence in meat cooking since I don't eat beef/pork myself. I do and can cook fish and chicken though. I am currently a part time student at UCLA trying to complete my degree in Asian Humanities. I have already completed a degree in Japanese. My second language that I speak is Japanese. I have taken many child-development classes Read more along with psychology classes but I do not have CPR training. I am looking for part time work only but if I really like a family I might consider working more hours. I will not work for less than 20-30$ an hour. Thank you and Best Regards, Sylvia R.
