Deeply grounded in mindful communication, my caregiving approach centers on helping little ones feel truly seen, safe, and understood. Tools like baby sign language, "toddler-ese," and the "fast-food rule" allow children to express themselves with greater ease, reducing frustration and building a foundation of trust. I nurture autonomy by offering choices whenever possible, and welcome big feelings with calm presence and compassion. Magical thinking — the kind that turns a spoon into a spaceship or a whisper into a wish — is one of the qualities I cherish most in children… and in myself. Protecting and participating in that wonder feels like sacred work. Being a mom has been the most fulfilling and life-shaping experience of my life — one that’s taught me how deeply trust, attunement, and presence matter in caring for little ones. Supporting another family in this way is an honor I don’t take lightly. Whether I'm with a toddler exploring autonomy, or a school-aged child managing big emotions, my goal is always the same: to offer warmth, consistency, and care that feels like an extension of their home. Recently, I’ve had the joy of caring for two sweet siblings, whose days are filled with songs, stories, art, and outdoor play. With them (and all the children I support), I create a space where kids feel safe to be themselves — heard, valued, and held through all their feelings. Earlier in life, I worked as an au pair caring for two middle school brothers — picking them up after school, helping with homework, preparing snacks, and providing a calm, structured rhythm until their dad returned from work. More than just overseeing routines, I became a trusted part of their day-to-day life, offering reliability and grounding through the after-school hours. I offer a wide rate range (\$35–50/hr) because I know every family is different, and so is the kind of support that’s needed. Some just want someone calm and loving to show up with energy and joy. Others are navigating transitions, sibling dynamics, or emotional growth — and I’m here for all of it. I'm always open to a heartfelt conversation about what feels fair and aligned, based on the care you’re looking for and what I can offer in return.

Hello! My name is Karla, and in 2023, I moved to Kailua-Kona with the intent to work at Alakaii Academy, a preschool. This was my first experience working with children, and I am very grateful to Mrs. Pablo for giving me the opportunity to work there with just my caregiver qualification. During my time at Alakaii Academy, I learned more than I had expected. I gained a better understanding of child development and taught the little ones how to socialize for the first time. I have the patience to listen to them and help them make the best choices, such as understanding the importance of cleaning up after play and potty training. In my toddler classroom, I also worked with children preparing for kindergarten, assisting the teacher in communicating with them and maintaining a quiet environment so they could focus on listening. At that age, the kids were learning to read and write their names, so I learned various techniques and used paperworks to help them start writing, incorporating 20-minute sessions of dancing or yoga. I really enjoyed this job; however, the school was forced to close due to building damage. I am a loving and dedicated bilingual nanny with over 1.5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, including time as a preschool assistant teacher. I’m passionate about helping children grow through creativity, gentle guidance, and play-based learning. I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time position with a kind family who values clear communication and cultural diversity. 📍 Available in San Francisco 💼 References available 📝 CPR/First Aid trained and willing to update. Gracias!

Hello Parents! I live with passion and I share a great deal of it within the scope of my compassion when caring for children and getting the opportunity to be a part of family/families in caregiving. Youth have been a part of my life in some capacity for nearly moving into 24 years. Notably, I have cared in the private caregiving sector consistently for the past ~13 years in SF (native, Bay Area-San Mateo- SJ-East Bay-Peninsula with experience working within those areas). My experience ranges from Infants/toddlers are my specialty. Experience with share, multiples, twins, and special need care in the classroom/clincial, 1:1 in home (ASD/ABA therapy trained Behavior Technician Paraprofessional). I enjoy incorporating my love for music training/painting, health education (PH) background and incredible joy for the outdoors while working with youth. I consider myself loyal, honest, dedicated, giving, loving, consistent, confident, patient, reliable and kind. I love to laugh and smile, value healthy communication and reach far beyond my responsibilities. I view my part as a nanny/caregiver is such like a village with a family/families and I hope I can find a new family/families that would humbly know how special your children/child would be in my life, on a daily basis. I have a wealth of unconditional love to give children and as a nanny I’m honored to be able and share it amply, able to assist in as a step in parent, and part teacher as well. I practice positive parenting methods, strong subscriber to 100% limited to no-screen time which stem from my Montessori roots. I enjoy play based learning, inside and out! Individual growth is the best! I am extremely knowledgeable of amazing resources (no cost and many others across the scale) all across SF neighborhoods (including the Peninsula and South Bay extremely well) to fully provide and assist to foster children so they blossom into their own individual, special selves. “Assist in bringing out their own colors.” Warmest Regards to your family, Madeline/Maddy
