Kind, nurturing, dependable mom š here. New born to teenagers, I've been there and cared for them all. Experienced with ASD, ADHD, and deaf children. Multiple children, twins and care at events. Skilled at organization, household management, travel planning and project management. CPR, First Aid, Fire, Safety, Earthquake Response Trained / Cert. Non-smoker. TDAP, MMR, Flu up to date; as well as all other current vaccines. I enjoy teaching my autistic grandson, hanging out with my deaf daughter, or working on an engineering project. š¤ I can sew on buttons and make minor repairs in clothes. I am fantastic at fabric paint, arts and crafts, etc. I like organizing, cleaning and cooking. Used to live on a farm growing up, there is no pet in your home that would intimidate me. * Special note: I am a living kidney donor to my friends son in 2013. I prefer not look after children who are very ill. 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! Iām 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. Iām a certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), CPR certified, trained in Infant Safety, and also a Birth Doula. Iām warm, reliable, and passionate about providing nurturing, professional care. I speak both Spanish and English, and Iām always happy to support bilingual learning.
āShe was amazing! So patient and kind and skilled with our 6 month old daughter! Couldnāt recommend her highly enough!!!ā
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 childrenās belongings, and following daily routines. With my background in Psychology, I understand the importance of childrenās emotional, social, and cognitive development. I love engaging children in creative, fun, and educational activities that encourage learning and confidence. I respect each familyās 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! š 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. Iām 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. Iām currently in law school, but childcare has remained an important part of my life throughout my studies. I truly enjoy and didnāt want to give up even while pursuing my education. Iām Montessori-trained and experienced with sleep training, potty training, establishing routines, and supporting children as they become more independent. Iām also comfortable handling the everyday parts of family life, including childrenās laundry, meal prep, bath time, diaper changes, tidying, and planning fun and age-appropriate activities. Families Iāve worked with would describe me as calm, dependable, proactive, and flexible. Iām someone who notices what needs to be done and likes making a familyās day a little easier, not just waiting to be asked. I also genuinely enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals based on your familyās preferences. š 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 ābig sisterā who cares about them, teaches them, has fun with them, and helps them grow. If youāre looking for someone experienced, warm, responsible, and genuinely invested in your children, Iād love to meet your family!
Health & Safety Note: Because I often care for 2ā3 different families in a single day, I do my best to keep everyone healthy and safe. For this reason, Iām 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 wasnāt 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! ā¤ļø Iām a caring and experienced nanny with over 15 years of working with children of all ages ā from tiny newborns to busy school-aged kids. Iāve 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.
