My name is Francesca and I look forward to meeting your family. I've been babysitting since I was 13 years old, caring for multiple nieces and family friend's children ranging from ages 1-16.

**Not available from Jan 17- Feb 7, 2026** Please make sure to read before booking: Hello, My name is Maria and I'm 70 years old. Yes, I understand than that's older than most nannies on here but I'm still very active and I love kids. I've been babysitting since I was young, being that I'm the oldest of seven siblings. Most of them see me as a mother figure now. I have my own kids, or should I say adults now, who are 34 and 32 years old. So I pretty much know how to raise children. I have nannied for couple families (ages ranging from 4-14), my longest being seven years with the same family. I pretty much became part of their family. I would cook, clean, watch the dog, drive her to activities, drop her off and pick her up from school, etc. I've also nannied triplets, so I'm pretty comfortable with that too. I have a great driving record and a safe, reliable Prius C. * Because I am older now, I prefer jobs that do not include driving children* Although my english isn't that great, please have patience with me, I understand it perfectly. I'm also fluent in Spanish. The past couple years, I've been a caregiver for an older couple but I have decided I want to go back to nanning. I like having an impact on kids when they're young. I'm looking for occasional jobs right now. I look forward to meeting you and your child/children.
