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.

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.

Booked by 28 families in San Bruno, CA

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! ”
