Gabrielle $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I am a passionate, patient, and highly communicative caregiver who truly loves being a part of children's growth and daily milestones. I believe in creating a joyful, structured, and engaging environment for little ones. One of my favorite things is planning creative activities both indoors and outdoors. I love introducing music to children’s routines—I’ve been playing the keyboard since I was 12 years old and enjoy using music for learning and fun! I also love cooking healthy meals, diving into the magical world of Disney and cartoons, and planning special surprises or themed activities for holidays and celebratory dates to make their childhood memories extra magical. Open communication is very important to me. I love connecting with parents at the end of the day to share updates, talk about the children's daily routine, and ensure we are always aligned. I look forward to bringing safety, creativity, and lots of smiles to your home!

Hello family! My name is Hildy. I’m a fun-loving, experienced nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience and CPR/First Aid certification. I enjoy being part of a child’s everyday world helping them learn, play, and feel safe and supported. I have taken early childhood education courses, incorporate Montessori methods, and have worked as an assistant to an after school teacher. I also have experience with children of different ages and needs, including ADHD, high-functioning autism (I’m familiar with IEP accommodations), and food allergies. I’m very mindful of safety and provide healthy meals or snacks. In addition to childcare, I also have experience in elderly care and companionship, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and compassion. I’m dependable, punctual, calm, patient, and I support families with routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, activities, meal prep, errands, and light housekeeping. I find caregiving to be a rewarding and fulfilling career, and I’m truly honored to be a part of a child’s growth and development.

Booked by 1 family in Mount Hamilton, CA

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.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Mount Hamilton, CA

I’ve over 8 years of experience caring for kids from 6 months to 10 years old, both as a nanny and former Au Pair. I’m CPR certified and experienced with sleep routines, baby-led weaning, potty training, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I currently work full-time (Monday–Friday) with a wonderful family and have been with them for the past 22 months, the little boy is currently two and half years and I have been with him since he was seven months old. I’m now looking for part-time or occasional weekend opportunities to support other families who may need an extra set of hands. I love creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s crafts, music, dancing, reading, or outdoor play, I enjoy helping kids learn, explore, and grow. I also focus on emotional support, helping little ones understand and express their feelings in a healthy way. I’m happy to assist with children-related tasks like tidying play areas, organizing clothes, preparing meals, and driving to activities or fun outings. I’ve a valid driver’s license and feel very comfortable around pets (I’ve a dog and two kittins). I would love to be that extra helping hand for your family — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel at ease with while your little ones are in caring hands.

“Laura was absolutely fantastic!! My little one warmed up to her right away, despite her peak 18 month separation anxiety, and Laura was great at playing with and instructing her. Laura clearly knew what she was doing, and was able to calm a little tantrum as well. Thank you, Laura!!”

Hi my name is Mikayla and I am currently a student at San Jose State studying child development. I have a passion for working with kids and I have a lot of experience working with all ages. I am super outgoing and a very organized person. With my major I have been able to learn a lot about children and how to be a good care giver at the best of my ability. I enjoy being outdoors and spending quality time with my niece who is 10 who I have babysat on multiple occasions since she was an infant. I am super flexible and excited to work with new families!

"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!"
