Find experienced nannies in Portola Valley, CA

Hello! My name is Adriana, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones. I am a former preschool teacher with over 20 years of experience caring for children, from newborns to middle school age. Throughout my career as both a nanny and babysitter, I have focused on providing much more than supervision. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and enriching environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive through play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. I also have extensive experience caring for children with special needs. I hold a Certificate of Specialization in Special Needs Education and have worked with children of diverse abilities, allowing me to tailor my care to each child’s unique needs. As a mother of two wonderful adult children, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your family. Raising my own children has given me firsthand appreciation for the value of patience, consistency, and nurturing care. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and am registered with TrustLine for an added level of security and peace of mind. I specialize exclusively in childcare and early childhood development. I do not provide housekeeping or cooking services, and I am unavailable to care for children who are ill. If you’re looking for someone who is experienced, dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping children flourish, I would be honored to be part of your family’s support system. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hello families my name is Annette and I am a Mom of 18 year-old teen. I've always loved working with Kids and I'm looking for some part-time work to save for my daughter for college for when she transfers I do have a part-time job in Health Care. I am CPR and first aid certified. I work with families within my job and really love that part of my job. I also have experience with some senior care as well. I do like to get kids outside and keep them active in the fresh air even with a simple walk. I can help with homework and following any sort of errands or activities they may have I have a Toyota Highlander which is a very safe car and a perfect driving record. I think one of my core values while watching your children is to make sure they feel safe and cared for above all else when you are not around if we can get homework or other things done that's great but I do think that is very important. I live on the coast and was born and raised here in half Moon Bay. my time is limited for part-time work but looking forward to seeing if we'd be a good fit for each other.
