My name is Cynthia, and I’ve been a professional nanny for over 19 years. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for children to grow and thrive. Families I’ve worked with describe me as caring, reliable, flexible, and honest. I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children, and I’m always ready to adapt to each family’s unique needs and routines. I’m currently looking for a new family to work with long-term and bring my years of experience, warmth, and dedication to your home.
Hello - My name is Caragh. I'm an experienced Nanny/Family Assistant offering warm, caring, and supportive child care along with helping families with daily household management. Mom of 2 boys :) I love children and helping families with their childcare & home needs to keep all running smoothly. I am a long-time resident of San Mateo with extensive knowledge on peninsula and surrounding areas. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschool, and school-age kids (including twins!) for over 10 years. I'm a family team player.

My responsibilities have included getting kiddos ready for school, morning breakfast including preparing hot dishes like french toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, etc., meal, lunch & snack prep, driving to/from school/activities/sports, appointments/dance/music, etc. Love to craft, imagination play, puzzles, games, tutoring, light laundry(empty dishwasher, kiddo laundry, making kiddo beds, tidying kitchen/play areas), feeding along with evening routines (including baths, stories & putting to bed). No task is too big or small, I’m here to help! I also have experience as a Family/Household assistant. I can oversee daily operations of a home.

Hello! I am a Bay Area animal caregiver. I started walking and then boarding & sitting. I love bonding and delivering the best experience curated around your dog’s needs and interests. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Jordan has been walking our dog for quite a while. Roger loves her and she's consistent, friendly, and professional. Highly recommended!”
My most recent and current experience is working as a nanny/private tutor for a 4-yr-old for the past year. I’ve given him afternoon lessons in the 3Rs, art and piano, as well as managed playtime, exercise and meals. I previously nannied for a little girl since her 8th month. I love children of all ages and feel equally well equipped to manage any age and/or multiple children. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and exercising with my son. I’m an avid reader and delight in reading storybooks to kids and engaging them in meaningful playtime activities or tutoring as necessary. I come from a large, close-knit family with 4 siblings all 2 years apart in age. I’ve been raising children through family obligations, babysitting gigs, and my own child (now 16 yrs) my entire life. I also have significant training and experience in healthcare and senior care. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aid. I’ve worked in hospital and home settings. I have an MBA and previously worked in the biotech/pharma and technology transfer industries for 20+ years. I’m looking to make a transition in pursuit of a better work-life balance at this stage of life. I’m looking for a stable family where I can become part an integral part of the fabric of daily life ensuring everyone’s day runs smoothly, happily and healthfully. My undergraduate degree in psychology (with honors) illustrates my lifelong interest in human behavior and child development. I continue to maintain an energetic personality and commitment to lifelong learning.
I'm Mariana, a 28-year-old Colombian with a deep passion for nurturing and fostering the growth of little ones. Since August 2022, I've been working with kids, primarily with children aged 1 and above. My boundless energy and creativity are my tools for creating enriching experiences for children. Currently, I'm available in the mornings, allowing me to provide quality care and educational support during this crucial part of the day. If you're seeking a dedicated, enthusiastic individual with a strong affinity with children, I'd be thrilled to become a part of your family!
“Mariana was wonderful and my kids loved playing with her! She was so sweet and caring with them and we loved the positive energy!”
