Hello my name is Vannessa, I am 27 years old and I am interested in supporting and joining your family. I have ample amounts of experience working with children through my 8 months as a case worker for a nonprofit mental health agency, 3 semesters interning at two different school districts, and 4 years of experience working at a child care center (where I worked with children from 3 months to 5 years old). I also was an intern for the Orange County Child Abuse Prevention Center where I was able to serve a community of people who I love: children! I absolutely love working with children and occasionally babysat for some of the students that attended the day care I worked at. Additionally, I have been a babysitter for over 12 years, where 5 of those years were spent serving as a full time nanny for children both with Read more and without disabilities. I earned my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology and Sociology at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota; Per May 2022, I have also earned my Masters of Social Work at USC with a concentration in Children Youth and Families. I am an aspiring child and adolescent mental health therapist. I am Basic Life Support, CPR, and First Aid certified (since 2015) and have a clean driving record. I hope to hear from you soon!
