Hello! I am an educator who enjoys babysitting and nannying while not working with my students! I've had the incredible opportunity to be a live in nanny for a family in San Francisco for a 4month-3 year old. In addition I've been affiliated with Crunch Care in the past, a similar service to Wyndy, where I picked up one time jobs as well as worked for 6 months looking after 6 week old twins until they were 8 months old. I enjoy outdoor adventures as well as facilitating indoor activities as well. I can help with homework and household chores.
