Wendy Hernandez
Los Angeles,CA
Summary
Hello Families,
My name is Wendy Hernandez and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I enjoy observing children as they grow and learn, supporting them through new challenges in school and in life. I am a compassionate, loving woman who adores children, but can also be firm when necessary. I currently babysit a child from a previous preschool where I worked. I have experience in babysitting children aged 2 to 5. I am honored to take care of the children I meet and have a positive impact on their lives. In my free time, I go hiking with my 2-year-old Husky named Duke; therefore, it is no issue if you have a furry friend.
