Booked by 1 family in El Granada, CA

Hello! I come from a very, very large family from the Midwest. I am the second oldest of 16 grandkids so I was always the de facto babysitter. I love animals, especially my dog. I also love to read and go out into nature. I have a Bachelor’s of Science in Journalism from Ohio University and a Master’s of Arts in Communication from Arizona State University. I truly love school and learning! I would still be in school now learning something new if I could. I am willing to do whatever the kids want to do. Play in the backyard? Sure! Create a new art project for the parents? Or course! Go for a walk and look at nature? Sign me up!

She was great with our kids!

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a deep love for working with children.Though I don't have children of my own, I speak Spanish and I could teach them. In my free time, I enjoy dance, hike, and swimming. I have a great references of my ex jobs .

Our family cannot say enough good things about Yami. She has been our nanny for the past six years and we hate to see her go! Our youngest is starting full-time preschool this fall so we no longer have a need for a full-time nanny. Yami has helped us raise all of our children since they were newborns. She is the kindest, gentlest, most cheerful nanny you could ask for. She is also extremely reliable, eager to help out around the house and very deferential to what parents want. We hope she can find an amazing next family to work with.
