Hello! I just graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a major in Child and Adolescent Studies! I am starting my teaching credential and master's program next semester. I am currently working within a school district in the IE, substitute teaching all the way from preschool to 12th grade. I love art, pets, music, playing outdoors, and so much more! I am on summer break right now and have a lot of availability, but once the school year starts up, I won't have as much. I would love to support your children as well as you!

Hello! It’s great to meet you ! I work as a substitute teacher during the school year and pick up occasional jobs here as well. I teach Kindergarten through twelfth grade and am very familiar and comfortable with that wide age range! Besides that, I have also worked in other school districts as an after school leader, where I was used to working one on one with students as well as leading large groups of kiddos as well. I have also nannied for a family with two babies, ages 2 1/2 and 9 months until I started working as a permanent substitute. I find kids’ energetic and kind personalities a joy to be around and I love working with kids for those reasons! I have a clean driving record and happily offer pickup and drop off from school if needed. I can offer school related assistance including homework help, arts and crafts, light tidying around the household, and anything else that I may be of help in. My priority is always to ensure that this is a great experience for both the family and children, as for me as a caretaker! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will be more than happy to answer them! I am excited to meet you and potentially work with your family and little ones! I am fully vaccinated as well as have all of the boosters and am CPR Certified for all ages.
