Giovanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for three wonderful kids (ages 10, 12, and 14). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m currently based in Redwood City but moving to Newport Beach at the end of the year, and I’ll be ready to start a new position the first week of January 2026. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨

Priscilla $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m Priscilla, a fellow mom just looking to support another family with night care/date nights, occasional care, or short-term babysitting. The little one I was caring for recently started daycare, so I’m hoping to connect with a new family who needs someone loving, patient, and reliable. Additionally, they still contact me asking to care for baby if needed. As a nursing student, my schedule can be a little unique, but I’m usually up studying until 2–3 AM anyway, so evenings and nights work beautifully for me! (My school schedule is completely online until April 12th) A little about me 😊 • I’m 20 and a mama to my sweet, adventurous almost 19 month old son • I’m the oldest of 5 (ages 3–15), so caring for kids is second nature • One of my siblings has William syndrome and on the spectrum, so I’m familiar with adapting care, gentle communication, and meeting children exactly where they are • I love walks, reading, hands-on play, arts & crafts, and trying new recipes when I get the chance I’m a low-to-no-screen caregiver — we rarely use screens at home, so I absolutely understand and respect families who want engaging, present, and mindful care. I’m happy to keep little ones entertained with play, imagination, and comfort without devices. I’m also very comfortable following sleep routines and bedtime schedules, and can keep your nighttime rhythm consistent while you enjoy your well deserved time away. I can provide three references with families I’ve worked with and 2 of my personal family reference letters if needed !! 😊

Mary $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mary, and I have a lot of hands on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up with four younger siblings, so I’ve been helping take care of children my whole life. I’ve also been babysitting since I was 12, which has given me years of experience with both younger kids and older kids. I’ve worked as an aquatic camp youth instructor for 2 years now, where I was responsible for supervising children, keeping them safe, and making activities fun and engaging. I’m currently a part time nanny for a 22 month old boy, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, meals, playtime, and naps. I enjoy doing activities with kids like playing games, arts and crafts, going outside, reading, baking, cooking, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to help with tutoring, basic cooking, and keeping kids on a routine. In addition to childcare, I love animals and have experience with pet sitting and house sitting. I’m comfortable caring for different pets and helping with walking, feeding, and playtime. I’m also more than willing to help around the house with cleaning, organizing, laundry, or running errands, anything that helps make your day easier! I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease.
