Hi, My name is Teodora and I am 29 years old. I am originally from Serbia. I moved to California summer 2022. I graduated from secondary school for pediatric nurses in Serbia. I have big knowledge about kids. I was working in a hospital 4 years. After that I studied to become a teacher. I worked for two years at the school. During my education, I worked as a nanny and au pair in Serbia and Europe. Because of my schools, I know how to have fun with children, how to educate them, and also what to do if they are sick. I have completely 10 years experience with working with newborns/toddlers /kids till 14 years. I speak 5 languages. I have experience with babies, children in kindergarten and school children. I was in a hospital with babies and also a nanny for lot of babies and i know all what to do with them, feeding,changing. I also give language lessons: German,Serbian and Hungarian. I study in Paris and I learned French. I consider myself a very open, easy going, social, flexible and independent person. I have lots of experiences with children, and I have a wonderful relationship with my own family . Being with kids has always been very instinctive for me, I feel like I naturally get on well with them super easily. I’m very organized, I like to plan and keep everything clean and in order. In my freetime I like to travel, spend time with my friends, listen music and do sports. I will be happy to help you. Dora

Teodora was so easy to work with. My 11 year old was a bit shy and nervous and Teodora knew exactly how to engage with her and make her feel comfortable. I’d highly recommend her.

Madeline G., Nanny in San Rafael, CA 94901 with 26 years of paid experience

Hello Parents! I live with passion and I share a great deal of it within the scope of my compassion when caring for children and getting the opportunity to be a part of family/families in caregiving. Youth have been a part of my life in some capacity for nearly moving into 26 years. Notably, I have cared in the private caregiving sector consistently for the past ~13 years in SF (native, Bay Area-San Mateo- SJ-East Bay-Peninsula with experience working within those areas). My experience ranges from Infants/toddlers are my specialty. Experience with share, multiples, twins, and special need care in the classroom/clincial, 1:1 in home (ASD/ABA therapy trained Behavior Technician Paraprofessional). I enjoy incorporating my love for music training/painting, health education (PH) background and incredible joy for the outdoors while working with youth. I consider myself loyal, honest, dedicated, giving, loving, consistent, confident, patient, reliable and kind. I love to laugh and smile, value healthy communication and reach far beyond my responsibilities. I view my part as a nanny/caregiver is such like a village with a family/families and I hope I can find a new family/families that would humbly know how special your children/child would be in my life, on a daily basis. I have a wealth of unconditional love to give children and as a nanny I’m honored to be able and share it amply, able to assist in as a step in parent, and part teacher as well. I practice positive parenting methods, strong subscriber to 100% limited to no-screen time which stem from my Montessori roots. I enjoy play based learning, inside and out! Individual growth is the best! I am extremely knowledgeable of amazing resources (no cost and many others across the scale) all across SF neighborhoods (including the Peninsula and South Bay extremely well) to fully provide and assist to foster children so they blossom into their own individual, special selves. “Assist in bringing out their own colors.” Warmest Regards to your family, Madeline/Maddy

Maddy worked with us as a nanny full time for eight months until we transitioned our daughter into daycare. Maddy's affection and dedication to our infant daughter was obvious, and our daughter loved spending time with her. She was also very good about suggesting toys and other age-appropriate developmental activities, introducing new foods, assisting with child-proofing, and consistently reading to her. She was also very committed to cleanliness and hygiene; we still rely on many of the cleaning products that she introduced us to.

Violet V., Nanny in San Rafael, CA 94901 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Violet, and I have 8 years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny exclusively for about 4 years and have cared for kids of all ages, although my "specialty" is with younger ones! I love caring for infants, as I am currently working as a Postnatal Care Specialist, where I take care of newborns and freshly postpartum families. I have future goals of becoming an ultrasound technician. I show up every day with an open mind, empathy, patience, and a smile. I love to connect with everyone in the family. I also know a lot of baby sign because I am learning ASL, which can really help those younger ones greatly with their language skills!

Joanna H., Nanny in San Rafael, CA 94901 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Joanna, I’m 27 years old and I’m excited to meet your little one(s). I would describe myself as attentive, caring, and very silly. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. I’ve worked with children quite some time now, I started when I was 17 years old. I’ve worked with many different families (short term and long term). I’m very flexible with schedules and I’m comfortable with pets. I worked full time as a certified nursing assistant helping the elderly and nannying as a part time but I realized I enjoyed being a nanny more than my full time job. That is when I became a 1:1 aide at a school. I enjoy working with children because I love to see them learn and grow and they’re always such happy souls. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

Wendy worked full time for my family for 1 month this fall while we were in need of extra help. She is a lovely person who was eager to do a good job & was flexible to my family’s needs. Her responsibilities were: playing & watching my 3.5 year old son, feeding/burping my 4 month old daughter, changing diapers, stroller walks, washing bottles, preparing small children’s meals for my son, cleaning up toys, organizing toys, washing drying folding and putting away laundry, bathing & doing the nighttime routine for my son. Some of her strengths include: sweet & easygoing, trustworthy, energy to run around with toddler, flexible schedule, eager to do whatever is needed to make your life easier (offered to return packages for me & drive me places if needed). She has her drivers license & has a lot of experience driving + was willing to keep a car seat in her car for our son. Any family would be lucky to have her!

Jessica has been an absolute blessing for our family. We were initially hesitant to trust anyone with our 21-month-old daughter, but Jessica's warm and nurturing nature immediately put us at ease. Her responsible and attentive approach to childcare is remarkable. She engages our daughter in creative activities, ensuring her safety and well-being at all times. Jessica's patience and genuine love for children are evident in the way she interacts with our little one. We now have complete peace of mind knowing that our daughter is in Jessica's capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their child.

Niandi M., Nanny in San Rafael, CA 94901 with 20 years of paid experience

With over two decades of dedicated childcare experience, my career has evolved from teaching and administration to pediatric occupational therapy services, culminating in the last 9.5 years as a full-time professional nanny. This unique blend of developmental insight, administrative oversight, and educational expertise allows me to support families with a deeply informed, holistic approach. I am a strong advocate for respectful, structured, and child-led development. In my daily practice, I focus on: * Routine & Predictability: Establishing safe, clear boundaries using positive discipline strategies like the "two-options" method, redirection, and positive reinforcement. * Respectful Communication: Engaging with children clearly and authentically, treating them as capable, respected individuals. * Developmental Milestones: Supporting critical pillars of early growth, from sensory-rich play to practices like Baby-Led Weaning (BLW). A typical day with me includes a rich mix of reading, music, outdoor exploration, and art. Above all, I believe in following a child’s unique interests to foster a lifetime love for learning. For example, I once cared for a child who was fascinated by sanitation vehicles, so every garbage day, we turned our morning into an epic, neighborhood-wide "truck safari" that blended physical activity with cognitive learning! Children have a way of helping us see things we over look or in a completely different light. I bring expertise, enthusiasm, and peace of mind to the families I partner with, and I look forward to supporting yours.
