Hi! I’m Vanessa—a Psychology graduate with a science background and hands-on healthcare experience. I currently work part-time at a radiology office and am applying to graduate school to become a future medical provider. I recently finished a nanny role with a family in Rancho Palos Verdes, caring for two children while supporting their mom. With the kids now out of school, I’m available for flexible summer babysitting in the South Bay area. I have years of experience caring for children from infants to preteens—both within my family and professionally—and bring a calm, supportive presence. I’m great at keeping kids engaged through enriching, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, confidence, and structure. Whether it’s reading together, simple brain-boosting games, light routines, or helping with transitions, I aim to create a safe and positive space. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR/BLS certified, non-smoking, pet-friendly, and I have my own reliable car. I’m Read more also happy to assist with errands, light housekeeping, and meal prep as needed. Available evenings, weekends, and flexible daytime hours in Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes, and surrounding South Bay areas. Looking forward to connecting with a great family this summer!
