Not only will your children be safe and happy, I will do my best to engage and to enrich them as well. I will act as a good role model at all times. I do not text socially, or facebook or twitter-I will be paying attention to the safety and needs of your children. I will not watch or listen to anything that is remotely inappropriate for children. I have a clean driving record and I am a strong swimmer. I am vaccinated against whopping cough and I have a current, negative, TB test. At your request, I can take your kids on outings. I am available for Friday and Saturday overnights. I have lots of experience with newborns through young adults. I also have lots of experience with special needs. I will always try to make things fun and light, while still following the rules and guidlines in your home. I am completely dependable and honest, and I will always respect the privacy of your family. My fingerprints are cleared through the State of California, as I have worked for VUSD for over 6 years as a substitute teacher (for all levels, subjects and grades). Prior to that I worked at Amgen, but chose to leave to care for my own two children...but, now, they're grown.

Dear parents, My name is Mary. I am a trained and certified professional nanny/family assistant with 25 years experience taking care of children, and managing household needs. My experience includes infant/toddler care and children up to age 16 (singles, twins, multiples, special need and nanny share). At this time, I am looking to help families on the weekends for date nights or help during the day. I am a mature, college educated/artistic, fun, loving, responsible, patient and safe nanny. I am background checked and fingerprinted, CPR/First Aid certified and I am current with all my vaccinations. I drive an insured vehicle with excellent driving record. I speak/read/write three languages fluently. I don’t drink or smoke. I love children and children love me and always tell me "you are the best nanny we've ever had". For toddlers and older children, II provide age-appropriate, fun and educational activities both indoor and outdoor. We sing/dance, exercise, play games, puzzles, cook/bake, learn to do gardening, reading, sewing, drawing and painting and we create a variety of fun crafts projects (I bring my art supplies to teach them)… Regardless of what we do, there is always lots of laughter and fun involved. If there is a baby in the family, I pick activities that we can include the baby, until the baby goes to sleep. Thank you for your time and consideration, in advance. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I can provide excellent references upon request. Kind regards, Mary

I have two children of my own; a 23 year old son and a 27 year old daughter, who graduated from Stanford with a Master’s degree. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, with perfect driving record, and registered with Trustline as an added level of trustworthiness. No house cleaning/cooking services offered.

I have many years of experience babysitting various age groups and I have taught science summer programs to ages 5-18. I also have a daughter, graduated from college. I raised my daughter to be involved in extra curricular activities, e.g., photography, sports, tutoring and play dates. So, I understand the challenges of a work life balance. I believe I can provide a caring, creative, educational environment that helps children thrive and become the best people they can be. I currently hold a BS in Biology and studied Masters in Forensic Science. I work in the field of compliance, and I would like to fund my Compliance exam that’s why I’m seeking additional employment. I will do my best to create a nurturing and engaging environment for your child. My Spanish and Portuguese speaking skills are a little rusty, but I may be able to assist with basic Spanish homework. My standard childcare rate is $20 per hour * This includes childcare, entertainment or homework supervision, following basic daily routines, standard meal prep and cleaning any “mess” we make as a result of babysitting. *Additional services can range for up to $40 per hour. Rates beyond $20 account for additional services and requests, e.g., household chores, tutoring, extensive services required for disabilities and pet care. ** I am respectful of allergy concerns, please be aware that I consume peanut products and I own a dog.** I have served as a “Course Life Assistant” to college students on ecosystem and field study trips in Central America. In this capacity, I was responsible for offering basic first aid and CPR, if needed. Although I have been CPR certified. I have driven kids to school and sports via Zum and Hopskip drive (driving kids apps).

***I am only available for occasional babysitting after 5pm on weekdays and some weekends. Thank you for understanding!*** I am an administrative professional who became a nanny during the pandemic. While I am no longer nannying full time, I am hoping to babysit occasionally for a few families long-term on evenings and weekends. I have experience with kids of all ages and absolutely love pets! I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID and am willing to mask, etc. I grew up doing theatre and love to entertain little ones with singing, dancing, reading aloud, etc! I had many different nannies growing up and know how important they are to a child's life. My friends would describe me as very reliable, conscientious, and caring. References happily provided upon request. I look forward to hearing from you! ------------------------------------------------------------ “Nina is incredibly patient, loving and helpful with our 6 month old son. She has always been very adaptable to our developing parenting styles (first time parents over here!) and she’s been very helpful in providing recommendations or additional context based on her previous nanny experiences. She is an excellent communicator and she regularly goes above and beyond to make our son as comfortable as possible and celebrate his baby milestones. She engages with our son through many activities including singing, reading, playing, going outside, tummy time and snuggles at nap time. I wish we could continue our time with Nina, but we are moving out of the state. If you are looking for a dependable and caring nanny, Nina will be a great fit for your family!” -Katie, February-June 2021

Hi families! My name is Ivy, and I bring both heart and experience to the families I care for. I’m CPR certified and comfortable working with children of all ages, from toddlers to middle schoolers. I’ve worked as a substitute at a daycare for toddlers, volunteered in Thailand teaching English to kids, and currently serve as an after-school teacher, helping 1st–8th graders with homework and activities in a large group setting. These experiences have taught me patience, creativity, and how to keep kids both safe and engaged. I also love animals and have hands-on experience caring for pets, so furry family members are always welcome when I’m around. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or making sure your little ones feel cared for while you’re away, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for each child.
