Hi! I'm Harini Akurathi, a young adult looking to be a summer babysitter before I head off to college at UCLA in the fall. I love working with kids as I believe they offer wisdom in their own way, through being honest and forthright with the world around them. I hope to make a difference to any family I work with, and to positively impact the children I am fortunate enough to help.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of San Diego for work.

I am an 18 year old soon-to-be high school graduate in June 2024. I have been a peer tutor for all four years of high school, and I am also a senior leader for my school's Air Force Junior ROTC. As part of this Senior Staff, I created engaging group and individual activities for cadets in the summer and throughout the school year. I was also a Python tutor in the summer of 2023, teaching elementary-age children about the coding language Python and giving instruction on small coding projects.
I am also a competitive gymnast for the Rancho Family YMCA. I have been doing gymnastics and staying active since I was three years old, and as a senior on the team, I help my younger teammates frequently, offering corrections and support every day at practice.
I do not have formal babysitting experience, however I have been an older sister for fourteen years, and I have experience taking care of my sister on days where my parents were busy or at work, and on family trips. As a leader figure in my school and on my gymnastics team, I have confidence in my abilities to create engaging activities for children, and I understand how to listen to what kids need and cater to them.
Welcome to my nanny profile, where care isn't just a job, but a heartfelt commitment to nurturing young minds and supporting families. With a passion for fostering growth and creating a safe, joyful environment, I embark on this journey with enthusiasm and dedication. From imaginative play to educational adventures, every moment is an opportunity to inspire curiosity and cultivate kindness. Join me in crafting unforgettable childhood memories filled with laughter, learning, and love
