Going above and beyond to make others happy genuinely makes me happy, which motivates me to do my best and bring out the best in others. I'm here to make things easier and improve your life in whichever ways you need. I've been referred to by past employers as both "Mary Poppins" and the "Millennial Martha Stewart" :) I am driven, kind, positive, organized, authentic, good-natured, reliable and honest. I have excellent communication skills and a contagiously friendly personality. I have 20+ years childcare experience and excellent references. I have worked for families with disabilities, health issues, multiples, infants, newborns, twins, and nearly all types of pets. I have previously been CPR/First Aid/AED Red Cross certified and verified through TrustLine CA. I have a car and a clean driving record, I'm health-conscious, a non-smoker, and I'm open to all types of errands/odd jobs/housework, etc. I play guitar and have worked Read more as a children's singer for a summer camp. I have enough skills in Italian, Spanish, ASL and Hebrew to teach toddler-level basic words, numbers and phrases. I offer a wide variety of services (I've been called a "Jane-of-all-trades") with work experience ranging from serving as a personal chef to housesitting and pet care, estate manager to executive assistant, and beyond. I am fully vaccinated and have many wonderful lasting relationships with previous employers who would be happy to act as a reference. Thank you for considering me and I look forward to connecting with you!
