Sharon V., Child Care in El Granada, CA 94018 with 10 years of paid experience

I have ten years of experience caring for children. I have a passion for this work because I know how important it is to support children during their most formative years, being a mother myself. I want families to feel like I am there for them and there for them to feel comfortable with me. I look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss my experience and how it would fit in to accommodating your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.

We have had the pleasure of working with Sharon, who has helped care for our two children—a three-year-old daughter and a sixteen-month-old son. She is incredibly attentive and caring with both kids, and they absolutely like her. From the moment she arrives, they are excited and run to her for hugs. She engages with them through play, singing, and reading. Sharon is also very proactive and dependable. She notices what needs to be done and is always willing to step in and help. Communication with her is smooth, and she is respectful of our routines and preferences. Her positive energy and genuine love for children give us peace of mind when she is with them.

We have known Liliana for quite some time. We first met her when our son was three years old, and he is now 15 years old. She served as a babysitter for us for quite some time, including driving our son around the city for a different Sports practices. We have good things to say about Liliana. Now we are using her more for tasks around the house, as our son does not need a babysitter any longer. We, recommend Liliana without reservation. She’s very communicative and trustworthy. We can rely on her to house sitting while we’re gone as well. She’s definitely great with kids and very creatively entertaining them as well. Highly recommend her.

Joella O., Child Care in El Granada, CA 94018 with 30 years of paid experience

I ran 43 daycares for 16 years on the East Coast and was a nanny both in Maryland and in California after the selling of the daycares. I have also taught swimming, art, and dance to young children. I developed the curriculum for the daycares and trained the teaching staff. I have worked with thousands of children over a long career and still receive Christmas cards for children that are now in high school and college. I have over 2000 hours of Early childhood education and am a member of multiple teaching websites and stay up to date on current changes and teaching methods. I have been certified in CPR and first aid for years and have used it successfully in an emergency situation. I completed a class in CPR and First aid in May 2020 at the College of San Mateo and have been certified for many years. I am up to date on current trends such as Baby-led weening and other new techniques. I maintain a log so that the parents know what is happening with their young children. The log includes food and milk intake, diaper activity, nap length, and any observations that need to be passed on. I also take children to parks and pools or other activities. I am vaccinated and Covid careful. I also have multiple references from my past nanny positions. I have a pre-school and art program that I have developed and use currently. I enjoy working with children and building their confidence using music and art. I like to include active learning exercises that keep the children engaged. Singing is a constant part of my day-to-day interaction with the children I care for. I have 5 large Rubbermaid containers filled with games, art supplies, pre-school lessons and a storyboard with many different stories. All geared to develop confidence and build their learning capabilities. My rate is based not only on the market rate but hours and needs. When you hire me you are getting a professional that also becomes part of the family. I am currently looking for a position that is no less than 20 hours and no more than 40 hours a week. If you would like to hire me but don't have a total of 32 hours I am open to a salary amount that pays at the 32-hour rate when under the needed hours. I request five days of paid sick leave, two weeks of paid vacation the first year. Guaranteed salary based on the minimum hours. If this is something that you agree with I look forward to hearing from you.

JoElla was awesome! She took great care of our 6mo baby girl before she went to daycare. She is very detail-oriented, caring, responsible, and communicative. She helped my daughter stay on the age-appropriate schedule, got her used to bottle feeding, and helped her developmentally through various playtime activities. My daughter used to only take crap naps but with Jo she started taking longer naps! We were amazed. We look forward to working with Jo again in the future!

Kristi E., Child Care in El Granada, CA 94018 with 2 years of paid experience

I’m a warm, grounded caregiver who focuses on helping children feel truly seen, safe, and understood. My approach is rooted in mindful communication, emotional awareness, and creating a calm, consistent environment where children can explore, express themselves, and build confidence. I support early communication and independence through tools like baby sign language, offering choices, and guiding children through big feelings with patience and empathy. I value play-based learning, outdoor time, creativity, and simple daily routines that help children feel secure and engaged. As a mother, I bring a deeply attuned and intuitive presence to my work. I understand how important trust, consistency, and emotional safety are in a child’s development, and I approach each family with care and respect for their unique rhythm. I have experience caring for children from infancy through school age, including supporting siblings, managing routines, and creating engaging, screen-free days filled with play, learning, and connection. I aim to be a steady, positive presence that feels like an extension of the home. I offer a flexible rate range depending on the level of support needed and am always open to a thoughtful conversation about what feels aligned for both the family and myself.

Anna H., Child Care in El Granada, CA 94018 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello everyone, I am an army veteran and a mother to a 7 month old baby. I have spent the last five years in Germany and now find myself here in California where my husband calls home. I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs of any sort. Any position I take, must allow me to bring my baby with me. I understand this is not everyone's ideal situation, but for those willing to take a chance on this dynamic, I promise you I am bringing both the love and care of someone who is a mother herself, and the affordability of someone who understands how expensive childcare is. I searched myself for daycare and realized it is far too unaffordable to most families. If you have any concern that I will place my child above your own, I can promise you that is not the case, if anything being a mother makes me capable of protecting and caring for your child as if he or she were my own. I am very honest and friendly. I have tons of imaginative games as ideas for your children and me to play. I love going to the playground and can find the best ways to entertain your little ones without relying too much on screens. If you are looking for a competitive rate for a babysitter in this area and also want someone who knows the trenches of motherhood, I am your babysitter.

Anna was a big help when my wife and I went back to work after our parental leave. The daycare on base had a ridiculous wait-list and Anna was very flexible with her hours, making it possible for us to get to PT early in the morning.

Hello my name is Brenda and I am a Latina female. When it comes to being a sitter I love every part of it. Especially having the opportunity to see the personality of the child, and the amazing person they become while providing a safe, fun and caring environment where they feel safe to be theirselves. All while helping them have an environment to grow while fulfilling the family’s needs. A little about me: I speak fluent English and Spanish and I am currently learning ASL (American Sign Language) and am studying to major in nursing. I previously have taken care of kids ages 8 months - 9 years old, and I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
