Hi! My name is Kayla, and I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced nanny with 7 years of professional experience caring for both boys and girls, from newborns to age 12. I’ve worked with many families on the Central Coast, often providing care for multiple children at once, including infants and school-aged children. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where kids can grow, learn, and have fun. I love engaging children through reading, arts & crafts, outdoor play, and educational games. I’m also comfortable with meal prep, homework help, light housekeeping, and potty training. I have a valid California driver’s license with a clean driving record, so I can safely handle school pickups, drop-offs, and errands. I also stay in close communication with parents to ensure we’re always on the same page. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your children thrive!

Hello! Children are my passion! I'm a life experienced homeschool mother and grandmother, who has been working with children for several years. I have experience as a Private Household Nanny, in which I was responsible for caring for the emotional, mental, and physical needs of a young child, house responsibilities such as laundry and cleaning, preparing meals, helping with school work, and driving to and from extra-curricular activities. I have experience as Preschool Teacher's Aid in a Day Care/Preschool setting for small children, responsible for aiding in the classroom preschool learning, preparing meals, caring for infants, and communication with other employees and parents. I have temporary Foster Parent experience of two older children who lived in my home and extensive background checks. I am current CPR/ First Aid Adult and Child Certified, Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Training Course and Certification, Civil Rights Training for Child Nutrition Programs Certified, and several Department of Family Services Health and Safety Courses. I have an AA in Nutrition. I have had several Fitness Certifications throughout the years, as keeping strong and healthy is a priority for me. I obtained Parent Volunteer of the Year Award for active homeschool participation during years raising my daughters. Children are the next generation leaders, and their caregivers are of the utmost importance. Caregivers must set standards of integrity and honesty, safety practices, and wise instruction with an attitude of love and fun. Caregivers should be a positive yet strong voice in a child's life, guiding them according to the parent's boundaries. Caregivers must have transparent conversations with parents at all times and follow instructions given for the benefit of the child. Caregiving is a wonderful opportunity to pour love, comfort, stability, and positivity into a child's life; being that second helping hand for busy parents. Because I am a parent and grandmother myself, I understand the unique individual challenges that come with caregiving children, and I am equipped with knowledge and experience to bring comfort to the parent who needs to trust that their child is being well cared for. Caregivers have a serious responsibility overseeing the mental, emotional, and physical oversight of parents most precious gift: Their Child. Please contact me if I sound like a good fit for you. I do have allergies to kitty Kats, long haired dogs. Short hair possibly.

Hello, my name is Jillien Smith. I have been babysitting since I was about 10 years old on and off. I feel like I connect with kids very easily, which allows us to enjoy our time together! I have 5 younger siblings that I helped raise and feel that I have ample experience in childcare. I have probably changed more than 500 diapers. I like to keep the kids active with activities when I can, but I understand if sometimes they just want to rest and snack when they are tired. My CPR and first aid certifications expired, however I am well equipt with the knowledge those certifications provide. I am the motherly figure for my two 4 year old siblings now that our mother has passed. Let’s just say, I have experience in a range of diverse settings and situations regarding children and their needs. Overall, I am here to keep your children safe, happy and healthy while you are gone.
