Jessica $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Mountain View, CA

Hi, my name is Jessica. I’m originally from Madagascar and was raised in the Bay Area, fluent in both English and Malagasy. Caring for children has been a passion of mine for over a decade, and I have a strong background in child development. I’ve worked with children ages 1 to 14, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs, and I enjoy being part of a family’s daily life helping with homework, activities, schedules, and even caring for pets. I have a clean driving record, am fully vaccinated, and can provide references, as well as my detailed nanny resume highlighting my previous experience. I would be honored to bring my experience, energy, and care to your family and help make your days a little easier while supporting your children’s growth and happiness.
