Booked by 1 family in Sunnyvale, CA

Hi, my name is Lisandi, and I've been a nanny for 10+ years. I currently live in San Jose and am looking for a part-time. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I'm happy to help with light household tasks such as dishes, laundry, mopping, organizing, running errands, and meal prep. As a nanny, I enjoy reading books, going to the park and library, taking walks, and doing fun activities like arts and crafts. I can also help with driving children to activities. I am loving, caring, patient, and truly enjoy what I do. I speak English and Spanish, am a non-smoker, have a clean driving record, and am CPR and TrustLine certified. I feel very grateful for the families I've worked with and can happily provide references. I also have an active Care.com profile with positive reviews from families I’ve worked with in the past. Please feel free to contact me-I'd love to connect!
