Hi! I’m Cam :) Spending time with kids genuinely makes me happy. Over the years, I’ve looked after my nieces and babysat for many families, experiences that meant a lot to me. I’m reliable, kind, and enjoy helping kids feel safe and comfortable. I’d love to meet your little ones and become someone they’re excited to spend time with. Thanks so much for considering me.

Bonjour, My name is Sylviane. I am a native of Switzerland and have been living in California now for the last 24 years. I have had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom while homeschooling my two children. My children are my best resume as they are kind, confident and considerate human beings. I am proud of them...as you can see :-) Here is a quick summary of my child care/education experience: French is my mother tongue and I have taught beginning and conversational French to students age 4-17, in small private group settings and in private tutoring. Also, for 4 years, I participated and taught in a neighborhood preschool with a group of 3-6 children. We mainly focused on values like creativity, kindness, cooperation, uniqueness and joy. In the last 3 years I have been a nanny for a family with a 9 month old and a 3 years old. That was the children's ages when I started. I can provide reference info. Feedbacks I have received describe me as a calm, loving, fun and creative person. I enjoy reinforcing children's interests through hands-on activities, reading and outdoor exploration. My approach focuses on nurturing and encouraging their natural curiosity and imagination, offering guidance when needed for problem solving, respectful communication and self regulation of emotions. Now that my children are grown and independent I am available and thrilled to offer my assistance and experience to your family. I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren. Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Sylviane

“Sylviane was an absolute delight - kind, thoughtful, experienced, organized, responsive, punctual. She went above and beyond to immediately connect with our four-year-old and make her feel at ease. We were visiting San Diego from out of town, and Sylviane brought a bag full of books and crafts that they could play with. As a mom who was anxious about our daughter staying with someone new in a new city, Sylviane put us completely at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough - I only wish she lived in Dallas!”
