I am a mother of two amazing girls. When they were toddlers I had them in a co op preschool where the parents worked a few days a week. I really enjoyed it and my girls did as well. That was definitely my calling for working with children. I am comfortable with multiple children at one time. I love babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. Some of my favorite activities are reading books, playing games and exploring the outdoors.
“Lillian was great. Punctual, energetic, and engaged. She stepped right in and warmed my daughter up quickly. She also encouraged and cleaned up the activities which I appreciated. Would hire Lillian again! ”

Hi, I’m Samara! I’m an experienced and caring nanny with a true passion for childcare. I volunteered for 8 years in a daycare in Brazil, caring for kids from 6 months to 7 years old, and I’ve been babysitting in the U.S. since 2016, including 2 years as an au pair. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. I love helping children learn, develop, and have fun! I look forward to meeting you and your family! Sincerely, Samara

Booked by 8 families in Montara, CA
Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.
