My goal is to foster a supportive, nurturing, creative environment for kids to safely explore the world and discover themselves. My experience includes bottle feeding, diaper changing, potty training, emotional support/regulation for children, pretend play, outside play, meal prepping, dressing, homework help, maintaining a tidy play environment, transportation, housekeeping, and organizing educational games/crafts. Additionally, I have experience caring for neurodivergent children, understanding their unique needs, and assisting with emotional regulation, sensory sensitivities, and communication strategies. Beyond my professional background, I enjoy live music, hiking, crocheting, and meditation. I'm CPR/FA certified, fully vaccinated, and I have a clean background and driving record. If you believe I'd be a good fit for your family, don't hesitate to reach out!

With over 30 years of hands-on experience nurturing children of all ages, I bring a lifelong passion and natural gift for childcare. Affectionately known as “The Baby Whisperer,” I have an intuitive ability to connect with infants and young children—creating joyful, engaging, and enriching environments wherever I go. Children are naturally drawn to me, and I truly speak their language—whether I’m soothing a newborn, connecting with a toddler, or helping a preschooler learn through play. I am currently work with children with special needs ranging in age from 3 to 26, as well as supporting 4th and 5th graders in school settings. These roles have strengthened my ability to provide individualized, compassionate care while fostering confidence and independence in each child. I’ve had the privilege of nannying for two wonderful families and raising my own children while being a stay-at-home mom for over 36 years. Caring for children doesn’t feel like work—it’s what brings me joy and purpose. I love to sing with children, do arts and crafts, and play both indoor and outdoor games. I weave learning into everyday activities—teaching letters, shapes, colors, and phonics in playful, creative ways. Time outside is one of my favorite things, whether we’re exploring nature, playing in the dirt (when allowed!), or enjoying movement and fresh air. I also have experience teaching swimming and helping children feel confident and safe in the water. I’ve completed 12 units in Early Childhood Development and am currently pursuing a degree in Child Development, giving me a strong foundation in how children grow, learn, and thrive. I’m also pursuing studies in Physical Education to support motor development and encourage active, healthy lifestyles. Highlights: 30+ years caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens Experience with children with special needs (ages 3–26) and elementary school students College coursework in Child Development CPR/First Aid certified Passionate about music, creative arts, outdoor play, and learning through fun Open to roles as a nanny, caregiver, or “bonus grandma” My Philosophy: Children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged. My goal is to create joyful, structured spaces where they feel free to explore, grow, and become the amazing individuals they’re meant to be.

Kelly has been a wonderful nanny during the short time she has been with us—and we’re truly grateful for the positive impact she made. She consistently brought positive energy into our home and showed good knowledge in planning activities and supporting the kids’ development. We especially appreciated how she kept us informed about how the children were feeling and always shared thoughtful insights. She has been punctual, dependable, and genuinely caring. Even in a short period, our baby girl really enjoyed their time with her. We wish her the very best and highly recommend her!

Hi my name is Dulce but I go by Abi, I have always been drawn to working with children, once I graduated high school I applied for a summer school position at a preschool not knowing it was caring after special needs children, although it was a surprise and a learning experience I fell in love with it which then led me to working as a Paraprofessional at a school District for the next 4 yrs. I moved over to Sacramento 9 yrs ago and worked as an ABA for children on the spectrum which was such a rewarding job as well. 8 years ago I was so fortunate to have found my family I currently nanny for, I have been with them for the past 8 yrs and care after their 3 boys( under 9). Throughout the years I have learned the importance of patience, communication, punctuality among others. I’ve been so fortunate to have such a rewarding job and truly would not change it for anything. I have Monday’s available, evenings as well as the occasional weekends, Im always looking twords making new besties :)

Abi has watched our son multiple times and is a great sitter. She is clearly experienced with kids. She came with her own car seat, followed our directions, looked after our dog well, cooked meals, took our son to his piano lesson and put our son to sleep (very tricky with our son). Abi is very communicative, warm, friendly, patient and enthusiastic.

I'm a retired paramedic with a love of children and animals. I have extensive first aid and CPR experience both with children and adults. I provide age appropriate activities, age appropriate book reading, creative and outdoor play, assistance with homework, errands, senior care. I'm very comfortable with animals of all types and sizes. I have a golden retriever puppy named Hunter.I will provide safety care and companionship to your little ones, fuzzy ones until your return with frequent updates/pics if requested. Clear background check and a non-drinker/smoker. I’ve been a nanny to 4 families and babysitting since I was 12. I’m in the process of becoming a foster parent and adoptive parent. I’ve cared for multiple kids of various ages and multiples (twins). I’m very comfortable caring for infants and am able to get the toughest babies to go to sleep without letting them just scream it out. If you have a tough baby and need help I’ll be more than happy to teach you how I do it. I'm a retired paramedic with a love of children and animals.

I’m fully vaccinated and boosted. I love reading to babies and young children to turn them on to books and learning. Weather permitting we take nature walks outside either in the park or just the backyard to discover all the wonderful things that are on your child’s level. I like for kids to use all of their 5 sense. Helping me make cookies or prepare their snack and try things with parents permission. I want to be another safe person in your bubble as your child experiences and explores their surroundings. Being a paramedic I’m very safety conscious. Your child would always be my first concern.

I am pleased to share my review of our nanny, Tiffaney, who has been an essential part of our family for the past many months. From day one, she worked to connect with my toddler, ensuring that he feels safe, loved, and engaged throughout their time together. Most days, she would either take him to the park, which he absolutely loved, or run errands and spend quality time at home. I appreciated her creativity in finding new and exciting activities to keep him entertained and stimulated. Whether it was exploring the playground or reading books, she always found ways to spend meaningful time with him. Reliability and trustworthiness are two qualities that we required in our nanny, and Tiffaney consistently exceeded my expectations in both areas. I could always count on her to be prepared for whatever the day had in store and be flexible. Her background as a paramedic gave me peace of mind that she can handle whatever crisis may occur and prevent my son from being in any danger. I felt secure that my son was in such capable hands while I was unable to be with him. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing and dependable caregiver. Her dedication and love for children are evident, and I am grateful for the positive influence she has had on my son during this crucial year of his growth.
