Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.

Hi! I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny from Turkey with over six years of childcare experience. I spent two years as an au pair and have been working with wonderful families in San Francisco for more than four years. During this time, I’ve cared for children of all ages and needs—everything from premature babies to children with special needs. I’m also trained in the Montessori approach and have developed strong skills in sleep training and potty training, which I love using to make life easier for families. I’m experienced in all aspects of childcare, including laundry, meal prep, cleaning, bath time, diaper changes, and planning fun, engaging activities. Families often describe me as calm, proactive, and adaptable, with a positive attitude that helps me handle any situation. I also enjoy cooking and love creating meals that suit a family’s unique preferences. What’s most important to me is building a close, family-like bond with the families I work with. I strive to be a trusted role model and a “big sister” to the children I care for, sharing my skills and life experiences in a way that helps them grow. If you’re looking for someone who’s caring, responsible, and truly passionate about working with kids, I’d love to meet you!

Booked by 9 families in Belmont, CA

Hi! My name is Catia — I’m 25 years old and based in Palo Alto. I have several years of experience working with children from infants and toddlers through elementary school, both in private homes and educational settings. I currently work as an Infant & Toddler Teacher Assistant at a children’s center, where I help provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, caring for children as young as 4 months through elementary school. I love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and experienced in supporting children with different learning and behavioral needs. Families describe me as responsible, kind, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same care and energy to your family! -Catia :)
