Hi My name is Ngan Nguyen( nickname is Holiday), and I love working with young children. I grew up with my big family and appreciate the teaching from family, school and community. Besides, I believe children deserve get a good support to develop their full ability and potential in them. I had working in Child Development for 6 years as assistant teacher and floater teacher in different school. I earned an Associate of Science (A.S.) in Early Childhood Education from De Anza College and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Child and Adolescent Development (Teaching Preparation) from San José State University. I am currently continuing my education by pursuing my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, Vietnamese Bilingual Authorization, and a Master’s degree. As a student, I value making the most of my time. I enjoy working whenever I am available because it allows me to continue developing my teaching skills while doing something I genuinely love—supporting families and helping children learn and grow. I am available to work weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to midnight and have full availability on weekends.

Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.

“Great service, she took good care of both of our kids. Very professional and would highly recommend.”
