I’m passionate about kids. Always loved to be around them. I’m very patient and helpful. I listen to parent’s concerns and rules always. It sometimes has its challenges but it’s amazing seeing them grow and learn with you.

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 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 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.

Hello, my name is Celine. I am an undergraduate student pursing a degree in speech and hearing sciences because I want to become a speech pathologist for children. I am studying online which allows me to have flexibility within my schedule and also allows me to stay local here in Sunnyvale, CA with my family. A little about me, I love being active and going to the gym and going on walks/hikes. I love traveling but often don't leave for too long because I miss my cats and dogs at home. I absolutely love working with kids and I have over 4 years of experience. I have worked as a full time nanny, date night babysitting, pre school teacher, swim instructor, and day care attendant. I have experience working with kids of all ages but have spent the most time with elementary aged children. Most recently, I have been working as a special education instructional aide at an elementary school in Palo Alto. We are on summer break from school so I have a very open and flexible schedule for the month of June and the month of August. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions I would be happy to answer :)
