Hello! My name is Melissa Luna and I have been a career Nanny for 15 years. I am currently a Nanny for a share but my contract will be over mid October so I'm looking for new families that need my help. Being a Nanny genuinely brings me so much joy and laughter and I would not want to have any other career. I am also a mom to a 16 year old girl and understand the importance of providing gentle,loving, safe and nurturing care to others children. I care for them like I would care for my own. I pride myself on being nurturing, patient, engaging, intuitive about the needs of children, an excellent communicator, organized, safety-conscious, resourceful, transparent, and an enthusiastic reader. I do not mind light meal prep or light housework. I love taking care of babies and toddlers and love to watch them grow and learn. If you would like to see my resume or schedule a chat I would love to hear from you!
“Melissa was our son’s nanny for 4 years and is truly wonderful! She is loving, nurturing, and reliable. She is a clear & effective communicator no matter the topic. She brought patience and creativity as he developed and grew. She was also proactive about planning and taking him on adventures to parks, libraries, and other local spots. To this day, our son remembers her as “kind, helpful, and playful.” If we had the opportunity to hire her again, we would in a heartbeat!”

Hello! My name is Breanna Vargas, and I am a 20-year-old babysitter based in Lafayette, California. I have over 3 years of childcare experience. I cared for children for 3 years in Mexico and also have childcare experience here in the United States. I have experience caring for children of all ages and can provide excellent references. Spanish is my first language, and I am currently learning English. Having long conversations in English can still be challenging for me, but I have successfully worked with English-speaking families. I recently cared for a one-year-old child, and we always had good communication regarding his care, routines, and needs. I stopped caring for him because I started school. I am a patient, loving, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children and helping them learn and grow in a safe and nurturing environment. I would be happy to answer any questions and provide references upon request.
“I highly recommend Breanna as a babysitter. She has cared for my child on weekends and has always been very responsible, punctual, and trustworthy. She is caring, patient, and has a wonderful connection with children. She also teaches them Spanish in a natural way through games, songs, and activities, which we really appreciate since it is a second language for our child. She always arrives on time, follows instructions, and makes sure my child is safe, well cared for, and happy. I feel very comfortable leaving my child in her care and would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to other families.”
Hi there, I’m Juliana. I have experience taking care of kids and pets. I’m fluent in Spanish and English. I like outdoors activities, going on hikes, to the pool, to the park but I’m also good at finding fun things to do indoors. Let me know if you have any questions, I can’t wait to meet you.
