If your child is running a fever, vomiting, or has just begun a raspy cough I would expect you pass me by; I will not show up to your home in this manner as well. Thank you for honoring my request.

Hi! I’m Carolina, originally from Colombia, and I have 10 years of experience caring for children. I truly love what I do and feel honored to support families during such an important time. I’m a certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), CPR certified, trained in Infant Safety, and also a Birth Doula. I’m warm, reliable, and passionate about providing nurturing, professional care. I speak both Spanish and English, and I’m always happy to support bilingual learning.

Hi! My name is Cynthia, and I am currently a Psychology student at the USF. I am a loving, patient, and responsible nanny with a genuine passion for caring for children. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and develop in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment. My responsibilities include preparing meals, feeding, diaper changing, bathing, maintaining hygiene, organizing children’s belongings, and following daily routines. With my background in Psychology, I understand the importance of children’s emotional, social, and cognitive development. I love engaging children in creative, fun, and educational activities that encourage learning and confidence. I respect each family’s parenting style and believe that communication, patience, and trust are essential. My priority is to make every child feel safe, loved, and supported.

Hi families! 😊 Taking care of children has been a big part of my life for more than 7 years. What I love most about being a nanny is becoming someone children feel completely comfortable and safe with, creating a special bond with them, and sharing the joy that little ones bring into our lives. I’m originally from Turkey and began my childcare journey as an au pair in the U.S. After four years in San Francisco, I got married and moved to Menlo Park with my husband, who is a software engineer. I’m currently in law school, but childcare has remained an important part of my life throughout my studies. I truly enjoy and didn’t want to give up even while pursuing my education. I’m Montessori-trained and experienced with sleep training, potty training, establishing routines, and supporting children as they become more independent. I’m also comfortable handling the everyday parts of family life, including children’s laundry, meal prep, bath time, diaper changes, tidying, and planning fun and age-appropriate activities. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as calm, dependable, proactive, and flexible. I’m someone who notices what needs to be done and likes making a family’s day a little easier, not just waiting to be asked. I also genuinely enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals based on your family’s preferences. 😊 More than anything, I value building a close and lasting relationship with the families I work with. I want children to see me not only as their nanny, but also as a trusted role model and “big sister” who cares about them, teaches them, has fun with them, and helps them grow. If you’re looking for someone experienced, warm, responsible, and genuinely invested in your children, I’d love to meet your family!

Health & Safety Note: Because I often care for 2–3 different families in a single day, I do my best to keep everyone healthy and safe. For this reason, I’m not able to provide care for sick children or in homes where someone is currently unwell (cold, flu, fever, cough, etc.). If I arrive and notice signs of illness that I wasn’t informed about in advance, I may need to step away from the booking to avoid the risk of spreading anything to other children and families. Thank you so much for your understanding and support in keeping everyone well! ❤️ I’m a caring and experienced nanny with over 15 years of working with children of all ages — from tiny newborns to busy school-aged kids. I’ve worn many hats over the years: babysitter, summer camp group leader, and even some families trusted to help interview and choose the right nanny. I truly love what I do and always aim to create a warm, safe, and loving space where children can feel secure and thrive. Supporting parents and becoming a trusted part of the family is the heart of my work.
