Hello everyone, my name is Chiara! I've been working with kids for over 7 years and I absolutely love it!! I worked in an early learning center for 4 years and was a live-in nanny for 1 year. Most recently, I was an ESL tutor for children for 2 years. I am comfortable with kids of all ages—I have experience with infants all the way up to teenagers. If you could describe me in two words, it would be bubbly and energetic. You can count on me to make sure your children have a fun and enjoyable time:) I love playing outside, crafting, music, singing and basically anything creative. In regards to my personal beliefs, I am a Christian but I am very respectful/comfortable around all beliefs:) I also love dogs and cats, so I will be comfortable around your furry friends❤️ **I do not do sick care**

Hello, my name is Joanna Gonzalez. I am currently a sophomore in college and am looking for a summer job. I heard about this job from an online website and thought it was perfect for me as I have experience will kinds ranging from newborns to high school kids. My first experience with kids was volunteering at a Sunday, faith formation church school. I taught kids about their faith for 3 year ranging from the of ages 4-12. I later took some time to watch 2 kids of ages 6 and 8 during my freshman year in college for approximately 6 months which demonstrated how delicate and patient one has to be when handing kids. I later got a job at the airport during my sophomore year of college, as well working with kids. I was trusted to export them and take care of them for long periods of time while their connecting flight was arriving. I have really liked working with kids and aspire to learn more.
