Booked by 4 families in Gilroy, CA

Hello! I’m Alexandra and I’ve been working with children of all ages for over 12 years. The last 8 years working in early childhood as an infant/toddler teacher. I’ve learned so much along the way caring and nurturing young hearts and minds, they truly have a special place in my heart. I love dogs! Dog sitting is also something that I do when not babysitting. Take them for walks, play and cuddle them. Not scared of dog size just as long as they aren’t aggressive. I love the great outdoors, hiking, trying new spots to eat and traveling when I can.

Alex was wonderful! She was so patient with our little one, who was fussy with her molars just coming out, and clearly a professional. We would absolutely work with Alex again.

I am a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with around seven years of experience caring for children, especially infants from 0 to 11 months. I have always been passionate about childcare—ever since my first contact with a baby, even when I was still a child myself, I naturally developed a strong caregiver instinct. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I drive, and I can speak both Portuguese and English. I truly believe caring for children is a mutual exchange: while I help shape their early development with love, patience, and responsibility, they also teach me and help me grow as a person. I genuinely enjoy providing safe, attentive, and loving care to these little human beings.

Hi! My name is Lillian, and I am seeking a part-time nanny position. I have experience working with children from 5 months to 13 years old and am passionate about supporting their growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I am currently a college student majoring in Childhood and Adolescent Development, with goals of becoming a teacher and eventually a school counselor. I am dedicated, responsible, and enjoy building meaningful relationships with children. I currently work as a recess coach at Booksin Elementary and previously worked at Gardner Elementary, gaining experience with a wide range of personalities and handling both positive and challenging situations. I also have extensive babysitting and nannying experience. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am happy to help with household tasks and errands. I am organized, attentive, and committed to helping children thrive. I look forward to connecting with families soon!

She was reliable and professional from start to finish. She handled our two high-energy children with ease, keeping them engaged and active the entire time. She had an endless supply of creative activities that kept them entertained and happy. We especially appreciated how she knew when to check in with us while still giving the kids her full attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands.
