I’m a warm, dependable, and upbeat caregiver with 10+ years of experience caring for children from toddlers through school age in both home and classroom settings. As an early childhood educator, I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and lots of heart to every family I work with. I love getting to know each child’s personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can play, explore, learn, and just be themselves. Whether we’re heading outside for an adventure, getting creative with an activity, working on homework, or simply following their usual routine, I’m happy to meet children where they are. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, reliable, communicative, and experienced in building trusting relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always for your kids to feel cared for and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

Hello! Welcome to my profile! My name is Daniela, and I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with a passion for caring for children. Originally from Colombia, I currently reside in the Bay Area. With a warm and nurturing nature, I genuinely enjoy being around children of all ages and have accumulated several years of valuable experience in providing them with love, care, and support. Families have described me as respectful, empathetic, kind, and soft-spoken. I prioritize maintaining a peaceful environment wherever I go, ensuring that children feel safe and comfortable under my care. Moreover, I am committed to giving my best effort in everything I undertake. I do have 5+ years of experience in childcare from daycare , to sport team, I’m a Montessori oriented caregiver. In my leisure time, I actively engage in activities that promote both physical and mental well-being. I practice yoga, meditation, and enjoy biking, which allows me to maintain an active lifestyle. If your children are energetic and love to stay active, rest assured that I have the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with them. Thank you for considering me as a potential nanny for your family. I look forward to the opportunity of contributing to the growth and happiness of your children. Warm regards, Daniela
Hi, My name is Emily and I am currently a part-time freelance tutor for elementary aged children. I am offering child care, senior care, and household cleaning services. I love working in childcare and have previously worked as a summer camp counselor (campers aged 4 to 13) as well as an in-class aide for special needs students and a math and language arts tutor for students aged 6 to 12. I have worked positions requiring school drop-off/pick-up, preparing simple meals for children as well as seniors, engaging children in fun after-school activities and outdoor play, tutoring, housework, running errands, and in-home eldercare--including medication administration, memory care, daily hygiene, and cleaning. I served as my own father's end-of-life caregiver and understand the needs of seniors living out their last years as comfortably as possible in-home. I can engage children's critical thinking and problem-solving skills to improve their academic performance, and I'm good at devising easy, fun games for children to stimulate their creative imaginations. I also have a lifetime of experience caring for cats. I am not as familiar with dog care, but I am happy to learn.

I currently work at Stanford during the week, but I’d love the opportunity to support your family on weekday evenings after 5 pm and on weekends. I am BLS certified, including CPR, and my rate is $30 per hour (happy to discuss). Thank you Kasia
