My name is Tami! I’m 38 years old, and a have been working as a nanny over 20 years. I work with so much love. I’m mom of two sweet girls! I have been working as a pet sitter over 3 years. I love animals and spend time with them.
Hi! I’m a warm, reliable, and bilingual caregiver with extensive experience working with children. I hold Montessori Early Childhood Education credits and previously worked as a Montessori preschool teacher for children ages 2–5, where I supported each child’s growth through hands-on learning, patience, and respect for their individuality. I am CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued and supported. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and attentive. I enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, and a love of learning while providing parents with peace of mind that their little ones are in capable and compassionate hands.
I served as a nanny throughout my college years and am also a mother to three children, who are now in high school, middle school, and third grade. While I have experience across all ages, I find the toddler stage particularly rewarding as they begin to explore the world around them. I also find the infant stage to be a truly precious time. To ensure I can provide my undivided attention and the highest quality of care, I am primarily looking to work with a single family rather than participating in a nanny share. I would love to discuss how my experience and approach to childcare might align with your family's needs.
Hello My name is Simone, I’m a 21 year old student who just graduated from Diablo valley College with a certification in early childhood education. My experience includes volunteering in a Montessori preschool and volunteering in an occupational therapy clinic for children with disabilities. The ages I have the most experience with are Preschoolers from ages 3-10. I also have babysitted a couple of clients in the past. I believe I am fit to be a babysitter because I like doing arts and crafts with the children and reading books to them. Some tasks that I am able to perform is helping with making meals, light household work, helping getting ready for bedtime, and homework help (if it’s not math). I also have a calm but clear demeanor when comes to working with challenging behavior. I can’t wait to meet you and your child!
Hello, I'm Yeca. I have experience taking care of children of different ages and I currently take care of two girls of 1 year and a half and 3 years old. I am an honest, independent person and I quickly learn the routines that each family has with their children. I love spending time with children, playing, reading stories to them and helping them in their development with patience and affection. I speak Spanish and I can also communicate in basic English. As I am new to this app, I offer an extra 30 free minutes in which I can help you with light household chores, such as the dishwasher or anything else you need. My goal is for them to feel calm and satisfied with my work.
