My wife and I began our search for a nanny when our daughter turned five months old, focusing on candidates from Hayward, Castro Valley, and San Leandro. After conducting numerous interviews, we were fortunate to connect with Tazun. From our initial phone conversation, Tazun exuded professionalism and a genuine affection for children, traits that were even more apparent when we met her in person. These qualities immediately stood out, making her a promising candidate to care for our daughter, Ariana. Over the past five months, Tazun has been Ariana's exceptionally attentive and caring nanny. She engages in various activities that promote her growth and development, including reading, playing, and teaching her basic self-care skills like cleaning and feeding. Tazun's dedication is reflected in every interaction, creating a warm, nurturing environment supporting our child's well-being. Her commitment to Ariana's development and her loving nature have made her an important part of her life and ours, as Tazun helps ensure that whatever we are focusing on for Ariana's development is a priority. An example would be the work that Tazun has been doing with Ariana's crawling and verbal skills. Moreover, Ariana's excitement each morning at seeing Tazun is a testament to their special bond and the joy Tazun brings to her day. In addition to her caregiving skills, Tazun's professionalism is of the highest standard. She is always punctual, arriving ten minutes early to prepare for the day, which ensures she is fully focused on Ariana's needs right from the start. Her reliability and steadfast commitment to her role give us tremendous peace of mind and underscore her value as a caregiver. As working parents, her dependability is incredibly important to us. Tazun is truly a remarkable nanny whose professional demeanor and heartfelt passion for childcare make her an ideal choice for any family seeking quality care for their children. We are fortunate to have Tazun as Ariana's nanny and highly recommend her for families to consider.

Maggie has cared for our baby boy for the past year, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her. She is patient, trustworthy, highly organized, and truly easy to work with. From the very beginning, she helped establish a consistent daily routine and thoughtfully incorporated a wide variety of engaging and age-appropriate activities each day. She has also been very flexible and accommodating whenever we needed adjustments to the schedule, which we deeply appreciated. What really sets Maggie apart is how genuinely she enjoys spending time with babies. Her warmth and love for childcare come through in everything she does, and it creates such a nurturing environment. This is something I didn’t fully appreciate until we worked with her, but it makes all the difference. Overall, working with Maggie has been effortless and truly pleasant. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and dependable nanny.

Nanny, Governess, Educator Warm and sunny as L.A., with NYC savvy, sophistication, and street smarts Bubbly and energetic, creative, long-time INT'L. career nanny, governess and educator, specializing in Language Arts (foreign languages, writing, public speaking) and Creative Arts (dance, drama), with a focus on nutrition-centered health. (I love cooking!) I am poised and presentable, but extremely down-to-earth and playful with a great sense of humor. I am confident and graceful at galas and country clubs, comfortable and joyful with my hands in the sandbox, fingerpaints, or homemade playdough! I can make a birthday cake that looks like your child and their favorite storybook characters or stuffies with just a plastic Ziploc bag. I can whip up an impressive costume with whatever is in the closet. I comfortably ride in cars with bulletproof windows and armed drivers, and comfortably ride the public transit. I have worked all over the world as nanny, governess, and ESL/English teacher (corporate sector, in-home, public and private schools including prestigious boarding schools serving high profile families). I have also taught children Italian and Spanish, and am a long-time dance instructor and children's theater professional. I practice yoga, and also hula-hoop, roller skate, bicycle, and swim. (I grew up in the desert and lived in the pool for heat survival!) I love trampoline, walking (especially as transportation), hiking, and being outdoors. I love singing and dancing with kids throughout the day, as well as cooking/baking, and creative expression via arts and crafts and storytelling. I enjoy volunteer work with chronically ill children, teaching them dance, drama, yoga, creative writing, and nutritional cooking. I have served other great organizations such as Special Olympics and Tunnel to Towers (serving the FDNY and US military families). I served at Ground Zero after the WTC attacks, an honor which allowed me to meet real-life heroes and learn about humility and humanity. I’ve been blessed with a richly diverse cultural experience, from inner city to royalty, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hasidic homes (kosher experience), high profile clients, and stay-home moms. I understand cultural sensitivity, boundaries, discretion, security and confidentiality.

I had a paid trial with Melody and had a wonderful experience. I really appreciated her calm and engaging presence with my baby. She was attentive and patient, followed my 1 year old baby’s lead. She interacted with her in a gentle and engaging way, which made me feel at ease. I enjoyed the experience that I decided to move forward with Melody for a two-week temporary childcare arrangement. I’m looking forward to having her help us!

Mereema M., Nanny in Castro Valley, CA 94546 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi parents! My name is Mereema, and I’m a dedicated, energetic, and compassionate caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. Taking care of kids has always come naturally to me—I grew up helping raise my two younger sisters and have since worked as a nanny, babysitter, and even a kids’ ski instructor. I truly love what I do and strive to create a fun, engaging, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, handling everything from meal prep and bedtime routines to arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, and developmental activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a reliable car, and always prioritize safety and well-being. Whether it’s reading books, playing at the park, or organizing creative learning experiences, I make sure every child feels cared for, supported, and entertained. If you’re looking for a responsible, loving, and experienced sitter who will treat your little ones like family, I’d love to chat! Let’s connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your needs.

I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for Mereema. She came into our lives during an incredibly chaotic time—trying to work from home while raising two little ones (4.5 and 2.5) was no easy task, and Mereema quickly became my right hand girl. She is reliable, trustworthy, fun, and incredibly grounded. From the beginning, she stepped in with confidence and care, and made everything feel more manageable. She brought structure to our days and gave me the space to breathe and focus on work, knowing my kids were in the best hands. My son is strong-willed and definitely likes to test boundaries, and while that can be overwhelming for some, it never fazed Mereema. She handled every challenge with so much patience and grace. She knew exactly how to set loving boundaries, stay calm during outbursts, and most importantly—make him feel safe and understood. Mereema wasn’t just a nanny—she became a trusted part of our family. She made such a positive impact on our home, and we miss her dearly. If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to work with her, take it. You won’t regret it. Highly, highly recommend!

Kveta is amazing! My cat instantly warmed up to her and I feel comfortable knowing he's well taken care of. She sends photos of how my cat is doing when I'm away and quickly picked up my cat's complex care routine (he has some underlying medical issues).

JUSTIN C.

I have two younger children ages 4 and 6 and she has been fantastic. She has a lot of life experience with children and brings a very calm and confident approach to handling the children. With very little direction she quickly jumped into the flow of our morning routine and helps get the children up, fed, dress and drives them to school. She does multiple drop offs and I am very grateful that she is a very experienced driver. It was always a concern of mine that I would need to work with someone who could handle longer drives to multiple schools. I enjoy chatting with Teresa and am very thankful to be working with her.
