Hi- my name is Jamie, originally from Los Angeles, CA. I grew up in a big and very family oriented environment. I began babysitting at the age of 15. I have babysat children ranging from the ages of 2months-15 years old. I am comfortable babysitting children of all ages. I have done a lot of volunteer work in schools,daycares, churches, and more which have all required me to interact with children. I am a very responsible, patient, hardworking, approachable, nice, funny, energetic, understanding, and loving person. When I babysit I enjoy playing sports outside, doing crafts, playing board games, reading, and much more. I always love helping kids with homework. On my free time I love to read, watch movies, and have a good time. Overall, I like to believe that I am an outgoing individual that loves to be around kids and has a lot of patience.

Hi families! 😊 Taking care of children has been a big part of my life for more than 7 years. What I love most about being a nanny is becoming someone children feel completely comfortable and safe with, creating a special bond with them, and sharing the joy that little ones bring into our lives. I’m originally from Turkey and began my childcare journey as an au pair in the U.S. After four years in San Francisco, I got married and moved to Menlo Park with my husband, who is a software engineer. I’m currently in law school, but childcare has remained an important part of my life throughout my studies. I truly enjoy and didn’t want to give up even while pursuing my education. I’m Montessori-trained and experienced with sleep training, potty training, establishing routines, and supporting children as they become more independent. I’m also comfortable handling the everyday parts of family life, including children’s laundry, meal prep, bath time, diaper changes, tidying, and planning fun and age-appropriate activities. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as calm, dependable, proactive, and flexible. I’m someone who notices what needs to be done and likes making a family’s day a little easier, not just waiting to be asked. I also genuinely enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals based on your family’s preferences. 😊 More than anything, I value building a close and lasting relationship with the families I work with. I want children to see me not only as their nanny, but also as a trusted role model and “big sister” who cares about them, teaches them, has fun with them, and helps them grow. If you’re looking for someone experienced, warm, responsible, and genuinely invested in your children, I’d love to meet your family!

Health & Safety Note: Because I often care for 2–3 different families in a single day, I do my best to keep everyone healthy and safe. For this reason, I’m not able to provide care for sick children or in homes where someone is currently unwell (cold, flu, fever, cough, etc.). If I arrive and notice signs of illness that I wasn’t informed about in advance, I may need to step away from the booking to avoid the risk of spreading anything to other children and families. Thank you so much for your understanding and support in keeping everyone well! ❤️ I’m a caring and experienced nanny with over 15 years of working with children of all ages — from tiny newborns to busy school-aged kids. I’ve worn many hats over the years: babysitter, summer camp group leader, and even some families trusted to help interview and choose the right nanny. I truly love what I do and always aim to create a warm, safe, and loving space where children can feel secure and thrive. Supporting parents and becoming a trusted part of the family is the heart of my work.
