Booked by 161 families in Pleasant Hill, CA

My passion and calling is caring for children. The safety and well being of my charges are paramount to me. I have 30 + years of experience working with children (including but not limited to children with various special needs) in Brazil, Germany, India, Hawaii and now here in CA. Tending to each child's needs with regard to his/her unique personality and developmental stages is my main goal, while still having fun in the process! Families that have experienced my care services describe me as reliable, creative, accommodating, patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, loving, and firm when needed (see reviews). Our time together is filled with adventures, age-appropriate activities, reading, imaginative play, walks in nature, music, Yoga, dance, and lots of love. My background is in Speech and Language Therapy, Montessori, and Infant/ Child Development. I am a mother of a 30 year-old son (graduated from UC Berkeley /Computer Science) and a 27 year-old daughter. (UC Santa Cruz /CS). Current CPR/First Aid. Trust Line registered, clean driving record and I own a reliable car. I do not smoke, use drugs, or drink alcohol. During the time your child is under my care, my phone usage is limited to communicate with you. I am fully present, engaging and giving the children my undivided attention. Rates vary, depending on distance and job description. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!

“Nadia was amazing with our son. She was warm, punctual, thorough, and communicative. Our son loved her!”

Hello- My name is Michelle. I am currently a live-in nanny for a family in Alamo. I am looking for extra babysitting jobs on Friday nights (after 6:00 p.m.,) anytime on Saturday and an occasional Sunday (as my current job will permit.) I will always keep my calendar current. The children I care for are 15, 13 and 10 years old. I have been a nanny for this family for over twelve years. I have 18+ years of childcare experience plus I am the oldest of 5 children so I have cared for my nieces and nephews as well. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide you with. I love caring for children of all ages. I enjoy doing all different kinds of things with the children. I am willing to travel anywhere in the Bay Area. I am fully vaccinated and received all boosters for COVID. I have excellent references that I would be willing to provide to you at your request. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon.

Booked by 6 families in Pleasant Hill, CA

Hi! My name is Andrea & I’m presently looking to work with new families. I provided care for 2 children consistently for 6 years however, those children are now in full time school so I’m caring for them just occasionally for parents’ date night. I also enjoy providing senior care, as I took care of 3 grandparents in their golden years. I am full of patience & kindness for the little ones & am creative & imaginative. I have energy & endurance for newborns up to teenagers. I have a good understanding of social & emotional needs of both children & seniors. I really love working in environments that require organizational skills as i’m detail oriented. I am highly adaptable to most situations & cool under pressure which i think is a must when caring for little ones & elders. I have no problem with homework guidance. I like meal planning & prepping - love feeding people a healthy but delicious meal. If you’re looking for a highly experienced nanny please reach out. I have 3 adult children so newborns are one of my favorite ages to be with. I love children & connect & bond with them easily. Little ones & our seniors need expert care & i enjoy providing that to families. Thank you.

“Andrea is wonderful - she is highly recommended from long term families she has helped. We are lucky to have her !”

"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!"
