Find experienced nannies in Los Osos, CA

I am 25 and have grown up with child care experience. I am the oldest of seven children, the youngest of whom is a four-year old boy. Growing up, I took care of my siblings while my mom worked jobs to support us. I highly respect a busy working mother. My siblings were of all ages and I learned skills of adaptability, patience, good judgement, and self-motivation. I helped take care of the house and entertained my siblings when we weren’t in school. I was highly motivated in high school and I also played tennis! I graduated from CSU-Monterey Bay in California with a B.A. in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Education. I am very passionate about getting myself and young people outside and interested in science and the natural sciences particularly. I learned how to teach students using experience-based learning and open-ended questions. While in undergraduate school and after graduation I taught in a before (6-10am) and after school program (2-7pm) for children of people who work in agriculture for four years. I worked alone with ~10 kids with a range of ages 5-12 in a class. I had to use strong problem skills, creative quick thinking, and self-management to support their success academically, emotionally, and socially. My style is balancing age appropriate conversation and treating them as adults/their own individual person. I believe in inspiring self-responsibility and motivation through incentives and having a positive relationship with the child while also communicating strengths or needs for support with the parent(s). I created daily activities myself or asked the kids to choose a range of activities (puzzles, coloring, computer school games, homework help, crafts, card games), encouraged outside activities (basketball, versions of tag, laying in the grass listening to music) and participated in general conversation with kids of all ages. Pre-COVID19 I brought them to outdoor field trips and nature walks. During the pandemic my main goal was to keep them emotionally regulated and as motivated in school as possible. Other skills that are worth noting for supporting child success is I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I was CPR certified but will need to renew it as it expired this year. I also have a clean driving record but I have moved from California and will need to get a New York Driving License. Thank you, Jasmin Gonzalez

Hi! I have worked with children for over 6 years now. I started as a babysitter and transitioned to a full time private nanny, and for the last two and a half years I have also been combining that with doing full spectrum doula work. I am currently completing my certification as a newborn care specialist. I especially enjoy working with infants. I am passionate about supporting not just your baby but your family as it grows and changes. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, and toddlers. As well as with children with special needs and babies born extremely premature. As a doula I have knowledge around breast feeding, bottle feeding, and pumping and can support in all areas. I also have experience with introducing solids and have knowledge on the best ways to help your baby hit their milestones.

Hi I’m Olivia- a SLO local with roots along the central coast. I’m looking to help a family and Nanny part time or occasionally. Able to meal prep, grocery shop, run errands, laundry, assist with carpool, etc. Also a huge animal lover!

My name is Jennah, I have been caring for children, (ages newborn to pre-teen) for over 20 years. I am one of 8 children and over 60 grandchildren who all grew up in the same neighborhood so I have been helping families care for their children since I was a child myself (the village, so to speak:) I have always been maternal by nature and have a big heart for little ones and the joy they bring to life. I have had a degree and career in Public Relations and I have also been a nanny at least part time throughout my life because of the fulfillment it brings me to provide reliable, loving care for families who could use the extra help. I am also in the process of becoming a birrh & postpartum doula and I absolutely love providing care for families who are welcoming a new baby and all that comes with that. I have studied early childhood development, NVC, and have also enjoyed teaching yoga to children as a tool for physical wellbeing, mindfulness and slowing down in our fast-paced world. I believe that presence, patience and gentle communication are most important when caring for our children to help them feel safe, seen and nurtured. I look to our innate nature in my approach to childcare, including pace, outdoor play, holistic nutrition and avoiding screen time with creative projects and exploration of our natural world. I have had the most wonderful bonds with the children that I've nannied for over the years and I am looking forward to connecting with more family(ies) to care for here in Massachusetts. If we sound like a good fit, I’d love to hear from you. My experience also includes: household chores homework teaching children to read and write Arts and crafts managing family schedules pick ups and drop offs, overnights traveling with families & more. I now have a 3 year old daughter & we recently moved back to Mass to be closer to our family. My daughter comes with me to my nanny jobs & is my sweet & spunky little helper/ playmate for your child(ren).

I have over 8 years of experience in nannying and childcare. Most recently, I was employed as a private chef and household assistant on a fully staffed estate while also serving as a part-time nanny for a child from 14 months to age three. I especially enjoy working with infants, though I have experience caring for children from infancy through toddlerhood and beyond. I hold ECE units and a Bachelor’s degree, and have recently worked in a licensed preschool. I pride myself in being a supportive extension of families, working with parents to ensure a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.
