Hi families! My name is Lais, and I am a dedicated professional nanny with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns all the way to teenagers, and I am comfortable and confident with kids of all ages. I also have specialized experience supporting neurodivergent children, and I adapt my care to a variety of approaches—whether that’s gentle parenting, Montessori, RIE, or other philosophies. Despite earning my degree, I decided to continue my career as a nanny because I am deeply passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with families. I plan to grow in this field as a lifelong professional and bring my psychology background into my work every day. At the moment I work with an amazing family as a ROTA nanny. Considering that I am only available for occasional jobs in specific days. Happy to provide references and my resume upon request, and I’m always available to respond to any texts from families who want to know more about my experience. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I look forward to connecting and learning about your family’s unique needs!
“Lais is an experienced caregiver who had many strategies to handle our rambunctious children!”
Hello families! NANNY WITH A BABY BOY. My baby was born 05/14/2026 and I'm considering a nanny share option adding another baby. I'm a compassionate and highly skilled nanny with a background as CERTIFIED PEDIATRIC NURSE from Italy, 11 yrs experience in childcare. My background as a pediatric nurse + studying child development at SFCC, gives me the unique insights into healthcare, nurturing, and understanding the diverse needs of little ones at all ages. 5 things about me, if you'd like to know more...keep reeding :) ONE: I love being a caregiver. Over the years, I've cared for children of all ages, supporting their unique personalities and needs. I love being around kids and I strongly believe they are all unique and special, authentic and pure. They are the best teachers. I love supporting their development making them free to be and experience the world in a safe space, where feelings are supported and kindness is the base of the relationship. TWO: I am offering household services! My caregiving isn't limited to the little ones, I love supporting families with household tasks. I know how valuable is an extra pair of hands and I am happy to be that trustworthy person you can rely on. THREE: About my personality at work and outside of work. - I approach every child with genuine care and empathy, creating a safe and nurturing space for them to thrive. This is who I am even with adults, I am kind and respectful. - I am very creative and I love playtime, art and craft, outdoor activities and nature. Working with kids allow me to be more playful and I love this aspect of the job! - I am reliable! Parents can trust that their children are in expert hands. I take pride in being a skillful caregiver, creating a sense of security for both kids and parents. FOUR: A bit about me outside of childcare: I practice yoga and meditation, I am going to attend a yoga teacher training at the end of the year (very excited about this!!! - This is not going to affect being able to provide childcare), I love propagating plants, painting, reading good books and spending time in nature. FIVE: Something cool about me: I'm Italian, born and raised, I can cook some Italian delicious food for you and help you plan out your next visit with great insights ;)
“Sara was wonderful with my newborn, keeping him relaxed and calm throughout the day. She also prepared healthy meals for my older child, which was such a help. I really appreciated her thoughtful updates that kept me at ease. I would highly recommend her to any family.”
I am a private school teachers aide for special needs children and have worked with kids aged 6 to 18 in this field. Before being a teacher, I was a respite care provider for special needs children. Overall, I have been in the field professionally for 4 years, but have done nannying since I was 15, for children as young as 3 months! (I am now 23 years old) Before this field, I worked in elderly assisted living. I had a variety of pets growing up and am comfortable caring for animals as well! I am passionate, energetic, and think quick on my feet. I can care for multiple children or pets at a time, and I do not tire easily. I also know a bit of conversational American Sign Language!
“Sita was great! On time, very attentive, and great communication. Went above and beyond our expectations!”
Hi! I’m Julia, a professional nanny with over 10 years of experience supporting families and caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of São Paulo and over 12 Early Childhood Education credits, which have helped me develop a strong foundation in child development, communication, and creative learning. I’ve worked with a wide range of families, including those with infants (starting as early as 4 months), premature twins, toddlers, and multiple siblings. My experience includes everything from bottle feeding, sleep training, and potty learning to creating educational play activities, supporting developmental milestones and organizing enriching outings. I’ve also navigated food allergies, maintained structured routines and provided overnight care when needed. I believe in a gentle, respectful approach while holding firm and loving boundaries and I love fostering independence, curiosity, and confidence in every child I care for. What I love most about nannying is forming deep, trusting relationships with the children and families I work with. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch little ones grow and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where they feel seen, supported, and celebrated. I aim to be a calm, steady presence in a family’s life. Someone who brings joy, structure and a helping hand whenever it's needed. A little about me: I live in Walnut Creek with my wife and two dogs. I’m fluent in both English and Portuguese, have a clean driving record and am certified in First Aid and CPR. Outside of work, I enjoy photography, cooking, hiking, and hosting friends for game nights or home-cooked meals. I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can support your child’s growth, happiness, and daily routine. Looking forward to connecting!
“Thanks so much, Julia! Can't wait to have you back!”
Hello! I am a proactive, responsible and dedicated nanny, family assistant and household manager. I have 10 plus years of recent professional experience, excellent references, letters of recommendation, and I am currently looking for evening jobs! I love adventuring with kids or interactive playtime at home. I enjoy going for hikes in nature, walks to the park, library or museums, spotting airplanes, wildlife, flowers, great books and art. I also like playing games and doing arts and crafts, building lego creations & forts, playing with dolls and animals, or reading books with hot cocoa on a rainy day. A simple peek-a-boo session, singing ABC’s, practicing counting or tummy time for the little ones:) I have experience providing support with school drop off/pick up, driving children to and from after school activities, homework assistance, as well as household chores, preparing snacks & meals, doing laundry, running errands, dog walking, traveling with the family and overnight care. In addition, I have experience managing and assisting with household inventory, scheduling appointments and communicating with contractors, housekeepers or caterers, organizing closets and calendars, and managing packing lists and travel preparations. I am discreet and respectful of a family’s privacy when needed and yet I welcome sharing a meal with them when invited. I am flexible enough to calmly transition from meal prep to children to dishes and back to children again:) I am very healthy and live an active lifestyle outside of work. I am close to completing an associate in arts degree for transfer. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
