Nanny in the Bay Area since 2022, with extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers. Certified in CPR and currently training in the Montessori method, I provide safe, creative care tailored to each child, featuring special experiences like temporary tattoos, giant bubble fun, slime workshops, and bracelet-making kits (with prior parental consent and authorization).

Booked by 28 families in San Rafael, CA

5 years experience as lead teacher at a Preschool in Fairfax. Associate Preschool Teacher degree with 12 ECE units. I can usually respond within one or two hours.. Patient, calm, ready to play and be of service! Originally from Toronto, I live in Fairfax and have been in the Bay Area for 16 years. My experience looking after children started in the 70’s with my own baby brother, babysitting throughout my teenage years, a young step-son and more recently my teaching work at a Preschool. I love being with all children and playing, helping with homework, reading, art, languages and piano. I look forward to hearing from you!

“Alexandra and our son had a blast - he took to her immediately. Her warmth and interest in getting to know him was an instant hit for us :) we can’t wait to have Alexandra over to play again! ”

Hi- my name is Adriana. I am a biology graduate at SFSU and I am pursuing a career in Nursing. I have been nannying/sitting for over 8 years now and I have loved it ever since! I have cared for children from infant to teenage years and have gained tons of experience not only from working with children around my neighborhood but also from caring for my cousins and now nephews and niece! I love being able to play and be a kid again and learning new things from children as well. I love walks to the park, playing hide and go seek and even tag! I also like visits to the library and museum. I do ask for a 3 hr minimum payment for cancellations that are less than 24hrs, thank you!

I am enthusiastic about learning new things and teaching, especially when it is focused on technology, literacy, and languages.
