I’m a 30 year old Irish, Mathematics and Science Teacher. I have 8 years full time teaching experience and I have worked with children most of my life. I come from a large family, of which I am the eldest and so helped my parents with my 4 younger siblings. I was a member of the Red Cross at home and I am comfortable with First Aid and CPR. I am a very active person and love to be busy and outdoors. I’m a punctual and professional person yet caring and loving. I am currently employed as a full time teacher in a local Catholic school. I can provide references if required. Looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

Hello! My name is Noemy! I am currently a student at Napa Valley College! I have been babysitting for about 7 years now and I have been working as a nanny for almost two years now! I love kids and I really enjoy working with children! They truly make my day! I believe that life is about serving others, which is why I love my job because I get to do that every day by being a good influence to the children that I have the opportunity to work with and by helping the parents and families that I get to work for!
