Hi moms & families! 🤍 My name is Fernanda, and I’m currently looking for a full-time - part time nanny position (around 40 hours/week) in Sonoma County, Marin, Novato, or nearby areas. I live in Petaluma. I’ve been working in childcare for 8+ years, with lots of experience caring for infants and toddlers. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been driving for 10+ years. References are also available! 😊 But most importantly, I truly love what I do. I’m a patient, nurturing, and reliable nanny who loves creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where little ones can learn and grow. 🤍 I’m also a mom to my sweet 19-month-old daughter, and I’m hoping to find a family who would be comfortable with me bringing her along while I work. I’ve seen how wonderful it can be for children to grow up together—playing, learning, sharing, and having a little buddy by their side. 🧸💕 If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, experienced nanny, I’d love to connect! Please feel free to send me a message or tag a family who might be a good fit. 🤍 📍 Petaluma | Sonoma County | Marin | Novato 🕐 Full-time | ~40 hours/week 👶 Infant & toddler experience ❤️ CPR/First Aid certified 🗣️ English & Spanish 📋 References available

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
