Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am available on a limited basis please send me a DM, thank you! Extensive experience as a nanny Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both are college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. I have 10+ years, of professional experience. In the last four years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and of nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.

*only available for occasional jobs. Hello, my name is Aline and I was born and raised in Brazil. I’m graduated in IT management and worked in tech for 8 years in my home country. I used to volunteer Helping at dominical class at a catholic church helping with 18 kids between 4 and 13 years old. I studied 6 months of psychology including early childhood before moving to the United States in 2018. I had three successful full time contracts since 2018 and just ended because the family didn’t need full time help anymore. Meanwhile I babysat for many families (over 100 according to UrbanSitter reviews) in the bay area from Vacaville to Pacifica and you can find some reviews on my profile. I have experience with kids with age between 8months old to 12years old. From wake up until bed time routine including driving to classes, parks and overnight. When taking care of a kid I’m flexible to adapt to the family’s parental style when it comes to discipline, screen time and activities. I consider myself someone caring, patient, organized, creative, communicative and responsible. I have my own car, clean record, I’m CPR certified. I enjoy my free time going to gym, hiking, traveling, going to restaurants and sleeping. (And sometimes crying over college homework lol) I just got two associates degree at College of Marin and just moved to SLO to finish my BS in business administration.

We were able to book Aline last minute to catch up on work and errands. She was super easy going and our 10 year old loved baking and shopping with her. Thank you and we will book again, for sure!

Hello, I am Julia. I am a teacher with over 7 years of experience caring for and providing education to children. 2 years ago I established myself as an independent teacher after having worked as an Early Childhood educator in a Waldorf school for 5 years. As an independent teacher I specialize in teaching sewing and clothing design. I also enjoy providing care for young children and pets. I am a very attentive and gentle woman with lots of experience as a teacher and I possess a natural care giving ability. I have mainly taught children ages 2-11, along with recently providing care for a young man of 22 years who had a disability. I have been teaching clothing design & sewing over the past 9 years. I really value fostering the creativity of children and enjoy assisting them in bringing their ideas to life. I am Waldorf trained and I believe in the importance of nurturing the holistic well being of young children. I have been making clothing since I was 7 years old and I am trained in clothing construction and clothing design, having operated my own clothing line for 4 years before my teaching career started. I also love to cook, paint, decorate homes and participate in many creative activities. One of my main love languages is cooking for others. I have lots of experience with animals. I fostered rescue cats for 4 years and I also do pet setting. I know how to administer medicines and offer a calm environment. I also have recently become a certified yoga teacher and I have also started to teach yoga classes. I am also offering that within my care services.

Julia has been great so far - fun for the kids, responsible, creative, clearly communicating and guiding the children.
