Hello ! ! ! Graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019. I work for a real estate tech start up during the week. I have always enjoyed babysitting and love picking up a babysitting gig here and there. It has always been a fun thing for me and a great way to meet families! I began my babysitting career in middle school and since then I have worked as a mothers help, date night sitter, summer break nanny, and weekend overnight sitter. For 3 years of high school I worked at a local yoga studio in childcare, and spent three summers as a camp counselor. I have a wide range of experience with all ages throughout the past 12+ years of working for a wide range of families!

She is patient, approaching every situation with calm understanding and genuine care. Mitra also communicates beautifully. She keeps me informed, checks in when needed, and makes sure we’re always aligned. I especially appreciated the respect she showed for my parenting style.

Hi there! I’m a loving, proactive, and compassionate nanny and house assistant with over seven years of experience caring for children ages 2 to 16. I’m super energetic, patient, and always bring positive energy into the home. I truly love what I do, helping families stay organized, keeping the home running smoothly, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids to grow and feel loved. Right now, I care for three wonderful kids (ages 10, 12, and 14). My days include school drop-offs, organizing after-school activities like sports and tutoring, helping with errands, managing the family calendar, and keeping the home clean and tidy. Before that, I cared for an amazing 12-year-old boy with autism for almost three years, supporting his daily routine, school, and therapies with patience and consistency, while also helping with light housekeeping, errands, and pet care. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience balancing family routines, promoting positive behavior, and creating a calm and joyful environment. I’m CPR certified, fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have a clean driving record. I’m currently based in Redwood City but moving to Newport Beach at the end of the year, and I’ll be ready to start a new position the first week of January 2026. I’m looking for a wonderful family that feels like the right fit, where I can bring my heart, energy, and experience to make everyday life easier and happier. I’d love to hear from you! ✨
