About Me Hi! My name is Evelyn and I’m an experienced educator with over a decade of working with children. I have a deep passion for childcare and education, and I love creating fun, engaging, and nurturing environments where kids can learn, explore, and grow. Whether it’s through imaginative play, hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, or storytime, I believe in making every moment meaningful and enjoyable. As a fun-loving, caring, and patient caregiver, I understand the importance of building strong connections with children and families. I take pride in creating a safe and structured environment while also allowing kids to express themselves, be creative, and develop important life skills. From helping with daily routines to keeping little ones engaged with enriching activities, I strive to make the babysitting experience both enjoyable and stress-free for parents. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support families who value a multilingual environment for their children. Whether it’s introducing new vocabulary through play or reinforcing language skills in a natural way, I enjoy incorporating both languages into daily interactions. Beyond my love for working with children, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring the Bay Area. I love discovering new parks, museums, and cultural spots, as well as trying out different food places. I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm into my childcare approach—encouraging kids to explore, learn, and have fun along the way. I would love the opportunity to connect with you and see how I can support your family’s needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! ♥️

Violet V.
- 3 years paid experience
- 9 miles

Hello! My name is Violet, and I have 7 years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny exclusively for about 2 years and have cared for kids of all ages, although my "specialty" is with younger ones! I love caring for infants, as I am studying to become a doula with future goals of becoming an ultrasound technician. I show up every day with an open mind, empathy, patience, and a smile. I love to connect with everyone in the family. I also know a lot of baby sign because I am learning ASL, which can really help those younger ones greatly with their language skills!

Joanna H.
- 6 years paid experience

Hello! A little about me - My name is Joanna, I’m currently a part time student at DVC. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. Since the age of 17 I have worked with children on the side as a nanny. I’m now 25 and between those years I’ve worked with many different families. I used to be a certified nursing assistant but decided to do something I really enjoyed which was working with children. That is when I became a 1:1 aid at a school. I enjoy working with children the most because they’re always such happy souls. Im very loving and caring for others and I tend to be silly a lot when I’m around kids. Working at the school is part-time with little hours which is why I’d love to continue being a nanny for the right family. I like to be punctual and attentive. I’m a very fast learner. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

As a Child Development major, I am passionate about nurturing and guiding children through every stage of growth. I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, including twins, and being part of their milestones—whether it’s teaching them how to read, helping them find their words, guiding them as they take their first steps, or showing them how to do everyday things like putting on their shoes, getting dressed, or even learning laundry and manners. What I love most is seeing their excitement when they accomplish something new. Watching them grow into independent, bright, and wonderful young individuals brings me so much joy and fulfillment. For me, childcare isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to support children as they discover themselves, celebrate their achievements, and develop into their unique potential.
