Hello! My name is Joanna, I’m 27 years old and I’m excited to meet your little one(s). I would describe myself as attentive, caring, and very silly. 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. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. I’ve worked with children quite some time now, I started when I was 17 years old. I’ve worked with many different families (short term and long term). I’m very flexible with schedules and I’m comfortable with pets. I worked full time as a certified nursing assistant helping the elderly and nannying as a part time but I realized I enjoyed being a nanny more than my full time job. That is when I became a 1:1 aide at a school. I enjoy working with children because I love to see them learn and grow and they’re always such happy souls. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

Hello! My name is Violet, and I have 8 years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny exclusively for about 4 years and have cared for kids of all ages, although my "specialty" is with younger ones! I love caring for infants, as I am currently working as a Postnatal Care Specialist, where I take care of newborns and freshly postpartum families. I have 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!

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

I taken great pride in tailoring my care to each family's specific routines and expectations. Whether you need a reliable evening sitter or flexible care on the weekends, my priority is to provide dependable, high-quality care that gives you peace of mind while fully meeting your family's expectations.

I enjoy working with children and supporting the development of their learning skills through nurturing care and positive experiences in new environments with new friends. I love being silly and bringing joy through smiles and laughter. I am interested in learning more about this opportunity.
