Hello, my name is Alma. I am 29 years old and a single mother of three beautiful girls, aged 7, 6, and 3. I am very patient, creative, and responsible, and I learn new skills quickly. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and certified in First Aid and CPR; I do not smoke or drink alcohol. Spanish is my native language, and I also speak English. I would be happy and grateful with any parents who give me the opportunity and trust to provide their children with top-quality care.
Caroline $25 per hour for 1 child
My name is Caroline, and I bring many years of childcare experience working with children from 3 months to 14 years of age. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment while helping families add ease and balance to their daily lives. In addition to my childcare background, I am a locally registered nurse, which allows me to provide an extra level of care, confidence, and attentiveness to children’s health and wellbeing. I love supporting children’s growth through play, learning, and meaningful connection. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy exploring all the amazing spots around the Peninsula, embracing nature, and encouraging curiosity and adventure in everyday moments.

Booked by 1 family in Salinas, CA
Hi, my name is Annel. I have 6+ years of experience in child care. I have helped amazing families with kids between ages 6 months-12 years old. I am seeking my next nanny opportunity. In addition to child care, I can also help with light house work, meal prep, and errands, I hope we can connect soon!
“Annel was wonderful! She watched my 8 month old son at the last minute when he was sick with a fever. She fed him his bottles and solids, changed his diapers, did nap time, took him on a walk, read books, played with him, etc. She was gentle and sweet especially since he was very fussy from being sick. Annel was on time, professional and respectful. I would absolutely recommend her!”

Hello everyone, my name is Savannah. I am a teacher at Go Kids Inc and I have been there for 3 years. I currently work with children ages 6-12. Prior to my job at Go Kids I was a 2 year old teacher. I am also a graduate student working towards getting my Masters degree in Education for School Counseling with my PPS credential. I am looking for job opportunities Friday-Monday as I am working throughout the week. I am also open to talking about something during the week, but I get off of work at 6pm. Can't wait to meet you!
Brooke $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Brooke, and I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped raise little ones from newborns all the way up to double-digit ages, so I’m very comfortable with every stage. I’m also a college graduate with a degree in psychology and have used that knowledge to become a Registered Behavioral Technician and work professionally with kids with autism, which taught me a lot about patience, creativity, and supporting kids’ unique needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, outgoing, fun, and super active. I love keeping kids engaged, playing games, and helping them learn and grow in a safe and happy environment!
