My name is Mylena, I’m 26 years old, I’m from Brazil, and I currently live in Novato, California. I have over 8 years of experience working with children, including babies and toddlers. I have worked as a babysitter for several families, as a toddler teacher at a bilingual school in Brazil, and most recently as an Au Pair and nanny for the same family in the U.S. for three years, caring for two children who were 2 and 5 years old when I started. My responsibilities included helping the children get ready for school, school drop-offs and pick-ups, driving them to activities and different places, preparing snacks and meals, doing their laundry, keeping their bedrooms and playroom tidy, and keeping them engaged with different activities. I have been driving for 8 years, including 3 years in California, and I’m a very confident driver. • Strong driver • Speak English and Portuguese, and I’m learning Spanish • Infant qualified • California Driver’s License • Fully vaccinated • Non-smoker • Pet friendly • Strong swimmer (over 15 years of experience) • CPR and First Aid certified

Amy $38 per hour for 1 child

My name is Amy. I am a former preschool teacher of over 15 years and have a lot of experience as a nanny. I have cared for children from 2 weeks to 12 years old, and have two children of my own. I am reliable, responsible, creative, nurturing, and very safety conscious. I enjoy working together with families to really find what's best for their child. I'm great with scheduling, time management, potty training, positive discipline, sleep training, and inspiring learning and growth! I love exploring nature with children and doing lots of art projects. I am first aid and CPR certified. I'm always happy to help with light housekeeping, organizing, food prep and errands if needed. I am a part time certified health and wellness coach and believe it's important to incorporate this into my work with children as well!! In my spare time, I love to make jewelry, cook, and spend time with my family.

Aaliyah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Aaliyah! :) I’m an undergraduate student at San Francisco State University working towards a degree in Interior Design. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life babysitting my youngest brother who was born with cerebral palsy — who is now 14 and I still take care of him when I can! So, I’m used to diaper changing, feeding and bathing. I’m creative at heart — I believe art is a beautiful part of development and self expression with children. So, I’m big on doing and introducing arts & crafts with children!!
