Hi! I’m Sholeh, a caring and dependable nanny with over 5 years of experience. Growing up with 4 siblings taught me to be responsible, patient, and adaptable. I love engaging kids in sports and active play, and I’m just as happy cooking healthy meals as I am helping with homework or story time. Families know me as reliable, loving, and committed to creating a safe, fun environment for children to grow.

Booked by 2 families in Lincoln, CA

Hello there, my name is Savana and I recently obtained my bachelor’s degree. I have worked with kids off and on for the last 8 years. The most common age group that I have experience with ranges from 3-13 year olds. I am a super active person so I love to get kids moving and have fun doing as many activities as possible! When it comes to pets, I am good with it all from walking to feeding and playing as well. I can also clean and do household activities/services too.

Booked by 1 family in Lincoln, CA

Hi, I’m Mikah! I offer occasional childcare with experience caring for children from 4 weeks old through early teens. I’ve been a nanny since 2018 and was a manager at a local swim school for three years. I’m currently nannying while completing my internship to become a licensed school psychologist. Outside of work, I coach youth cheerleading and compete on a cheer team myself. My responsibilities have included driving kids to and from school, tutoring, leading arts and crafts, teaching swim lessons, and helping with homework. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, cooking, errands, and have experience with travel nannying and overnight care. I hold a B.S. in Developmental Psychology, an M.A. in Educational Psychology, and am currently earning my Ed.S. in School Psychology. I also hold an assistant teaching certificate in Early Childhood Education and am a certified doula and newborn care specialist. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

"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!"
