Hi Parents :) My name is Saray and I've been Nanny for the last 16 years and a mom to an almost 4 yr old and 2 month old. I've always loved working with kids since it’s been something that comes naturally to me. I love working with all ages but really enjoy the Newborns-Toddler age. I've worked with families with 1-3 kids at a time including share cares. I'm responsible and attentive to a child's need. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record. I am also certified as a postpartum doula. I am always on time and flexible when schedules change with advance notice. I make it my only priority to tend to your child or children when working with your family. I really enjoy being able to interact with kids and teach them new things as well as learning from them.

Hello! My name is Lu (short for Luisa—easier to remember, right?). I’m excited to offer occasional babysitting services on weekends, weeknights, and overnight stays. As an experienced ESL teacher with over three years in the classroom, I bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to my work with children. Beyond teaching, I’ve worked as both a live-in and live-out nanny for multiple families, caring for children of all ages. My experience includes managing the needs of larger families—such as four children in two households, three in another— and I’m currently the full-time nanny for two wonderful little ones: a five-year-old and a two year old toddler. I’m an active and creative person who loves spending time outdoors hiking, doing crafts, and engaging children in fun, hands-on activities. For older kids, I’m happy to provide craft or jewelry-making tutorials to help spark their creativity and encourage new skills. I’m known for being responsible, loving, honest, versatile, and open-minded—all qualities that I believe are essential for nurturing and guiding children. I grew up in a family that taught me the importance of respect, responsibility, and self-confidence, and I strive to instill these values in the children I care for. I firmly believe that home is a child’s first school, and I’ll do my best to create an environment where your children feel supported, inspired, and, of course, have a lot of fun! Thank you for considering me to care for your little ones. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring my experience and enthusiasm to your household. Warm regards, Lu

Lu was warm and easy to communicate with, on time and professional, did a great job. Would hire again!

I have more then 10 years of experience as a nanny, i speak English and Chinese and have excellent communication skills, i am warm, loving, attentive, reliable , punctual, trust-worthy, very tidy and experienced with young kids. i also prepare meals for the kids and help with basic cleaning , baby laundry, dishes, taking out trash, I have always been proactive in terms of activities for kids , from library activities , museums , parks to kids events in the neighborhood , driving to/from school or parks , never been late and always given parents a heads-up when something came up (in rare cases). i have my own car and clean drive record, i am fully vaccinated , infant CPR and FIRST AID certified.

We had Kelly back a second time so I’m updating my review. She was easy to communicate with, arrived on time, and followed instructions well. She is experienced with kids but also open to feedback which I appreciate. Our baby had some stranger danger, but Kelly stayed calm and worked to sooth him. She read books in Mandarin with my 5-year old and spoke to both kids in Mandarin as we asked. Thank you for your help, Kelly

Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable caregiver with over 5 years of professional pediatric experience supporting children and families, along with many years of babysitting throughout college and beyond. My background in childhood development along with the many young children in my family have given me a strong understanding of children 6 months and beyond, along with how to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs at every stage. I believe in fostering play and curiosity while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. Some of the activities I love are playing games, pretend play, music, and playing outside! I take great pride in being a caregiver that families are able to trust and rely on. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and I look forward to chatting!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
