Hi, I read over your job description and it sounds great for my schedule! A little bit about me, I am currently attending San Diego State to get a business degree. I like working with kids because I have always grown up watching over my younger siblings and cousins. I started working with kids when I was 16 but have always been around younger kids. I also have nannied for a little boy who I found on care. com in May 2024 when he was 3 months and have been since. I will not be nannying for him anymore starting February due to him turning two and starting preschool.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Tristen with our family for the past two years, and words hardly do justice to the impact she has had on our son and on our home. She is one of the kindest, most patient, and most intentional caregivers we’ve ever known. From the very beginning, she approached every interaction with our son with genuine care and purpose. She is deeply invested in his growth and development—emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Whether guiding him through big feelings, encouraging independence, or creating meaningful learning moments throughout the day, she always acted with intention and thoughtfulness. Beyond her work with our son, she became an essential part of our family’s rhythm and overall success. Her reliability, calm presence, and natural ability to nurture made our home feel grounded and supported. We trusted her completely, and that peace of mind is something we will forever be grateful for. As we enter our next phase of life, saying goodbye is incredibly bittersweet. She will be so dearly missed, and any family that has the opportunity to work with her will be incredibly lucky. We cannot recommend Tristen highly enough.
