Booked by 2 families in Los Gatos, CA
Hi! My name is Lillian, and I am seeking a part-time nanny position. I have experience working with children from 5 months to 13 years old and am passionate about supporting their growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I am currently a college student majoring in Childhood and Adolescent Development, with goals of becoming a teacher and eventually a school counselor. I am dedicated, responsible, and enjoy building meaningful relationships with children. I currently work as a recess coach at Booksin Elementary and previously worked at Gardner Elementary, gaining experience with a wide range of personalities and handling both positive and challenging situations. I also have extensive babysitting and nannying experience. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am happy to help with household tasks and errands. I am organized, attentive, and committed to helping children thrive. I look forward to connecting with families soon!
“She was reliable and professional from start to finish. She handled our two high-energy children with ease, keeping them engaged and active the entire time. She had an endless supply of creative activities that kept them entertained and happy. We especially appreciated how she knew when to check in with us while still giving the kids her full attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. ”

Olga $30 per hour for 1 child
Hello parents! I am a mom of a Kindergartener. I am also an accountant, but currently taking a break from working in the industry. I have availability in the late mornings and afternoons during the week and would love to help out with childcare, school pick ups, and after school activities. I am also pet-friendly as we have a family dog and available to take your pup on walks. I love spending time with kids, helping them learn and grow, sparking their curiosity and creativity, and supporting them as they are developing confidence and independence. I will keep your child engaged and entertained by playing games together, doing arts projects, reading books, building with Legos, staying active, or going to the park/playground. I like being active, and as a parent, I have been going with my son on hikes, skating together at the ice rink, swimming at the pool, doing yoga, and most recently roller blading. I am First Aid and CPR certified, current on vaccinations, and recently cleared by SJUSD to volunteer at the elementary school. I have been very involved as a parent since my son's birth, and feel comfortable taking care of children ranging from toddlers to elementary school age. Please reach out and I would love to connect with you and your family.
