Anna H., Nanny in Portola Valley, CA 94028 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello everyone, I am an army veteran and a mother to a 5 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.

Adriana’s Bio I am a former preschool teacher with 20 years of experience working with children. I have worked as a nanny/babysitter as well. I am a fun, loving person and offer more than the typical babysitter as I focus on supporting the overall development of children I work with. My experience ranges from newborn to middle school age, including children with special needs, as I hold a certificate of specialization in special needs education and have several years of experience working with diverse abilities. I have two children of my own; a 23 year old son and a 27 year old daughter, who graduated from Stanford with a Master’s degree. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, with perfect driving record, and registered with Trustline as an added level of trustworthiness. No house cleaning/cooking services offered.

I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive. My patient and friendly nature allows me to connect easily with children and build strong, trusting relationships with them.
