Hello , let me introduce myself. My name is Waldineia. I have two boys of my own, which one of them is 25 years old and the younger who is 15 years old. I used to be a pre-school teacher in my home town in Brasil. I have been living in Marin county for 25 years. Since then, I have been working as a nanyny. I have a lot of experience working with infants ( twins), toddler, and children almost any age. I like to explore nature and do outside activities with them. I always treat the children with respect and caring as they were my own. I’m passionate to being around them. I love watching young minds grow and learn. Looking forward to providing your family care and support.

Wal has been babysitting our 3 kids (ages 6, 4, and 6 months) the past few months - she is always reliable, patient, and very trustworthy. We are so lucky we found her - the kids absolutely love her!

Bringing joy and nurturing care to children has been my passion for the past nine years. My experience spans all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, and I believe in making a positive impact on each child's life. I enjoy playing outdoor games, educational activities, and even some technology-based games! I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules. Communication is key, so l provide regular updates via text or phone, and I'm happy to follow your preferred method. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. As a bonus, I speak Spanish and Sign Language (ASL). Knowing I can support your family and provide a safe, fun, and reliable childcare option brings me immense satisfaction.

Yesica was a wonderful sitter for our two kids. She was perfectly on time and immediately started playing fun games outside. She even did a cute hairstyle on our toddler (which is very difficult to do!!) we can’t wait to have her back over soon.

My family and daughter LOVED Yenny! She was our nanny for 3 months, from when my daughter was 6 to 9 months, while I transitioned back from mat leave and until we moved out of state. She was an incredible help to my family, taking great care of my daughter especially as a first time mom. She is beyond qualified and has great experience in taking care of children of all ages. Yenny was so warm, patient, caring, gentle and natural with our daughter. My daughter really grew to love her in the time we were together. They developed a great routine together - they would go on walks in the neighborhood, have picnics at the park, play in the backyard or the family room, read books together, play music together, and Yenny would talk to her throughout the day which is great for development. Yenny's knowledge of child development was always so helpful to hear and at the same time she was always respectful of what my husband and I wanted. We can't thank her enough for our time together!!

Hello! My name is Kayla. I am 27 years old and am studying to become a kindergarten teacher and have been currently been working at a Montessori preschool for the past 2 years. I love hiking, playing games, cooking, and doing any sorts of crafts. Previous jobs have included being a nanny for triplets plus one. The children's ages were 9 (triplets) and 7. Some of the activities included cleaning up, doing laundry, playing with the children, driving them to and from camp or to the park as well as feeding them three times a day and putting them to bed. I also was a recurring babysitter for 2 boys aged 10 and 8, activities in that job included playing video games/board games, playing baseball or basketball, and feeding them. In addition, I also have experience working at a day care. There I worked with children ranging in ages from infants to 12 years of age. The job had entailed cleaning, feeding, and changing the children and playing with them. I really enjoy working with children and getting on their level. I like to hear the interesting things they say and their unique perspectives. I look forward to working with your family!

Kayla is great! Our toddler loves her and we appreciate the care that she gives him. Highly recommend 🤗
