Booked by 73 families in Danville, CA

Hi! I’m Brunna, a professional nanny and certified Newborn Care Specialist with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns through the teenage years. I’m currently pursuing my Early Childhood Education degree and enjoy incorporating Montessori and Reggio Emilia inspired, child-led practices into my care. I love creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities based on each child’s interests—from arts and crafts and sensory play to reading, outdoor adventures, and imaginative play. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun while giving parents peace of mind. A few important notes before booking: • Please let me know in advance if anyone in the household is sick, as I frequently care for newborns and young infants. • Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled start time are charged in full. • If a shift ends early, I charge for the originally agreed-upon hours, as I reserve that time specifically for your family. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Brunna was amazing with our kids. They do not take easily to new people but were, amazingly, comfortable with her right away. She really knows how to connect with each child. ”

Booked by 41 families in Danville, CA

Hi! I’m Charis (pronounced “kuh-reese”) I am a career nanny/family assistant of 10 years. I’m down to earth and can be pretty silly but I’m also responsible and I take my job seriously. I have seven younger siblings and I myself am a mother of 4 young children. I have done a lot of volunteer work with children in my youth like, being an AWANA leader, teaching Sunday school class, and leading the children's singing program at my then local church. I know how important it is to care for these little ones and I do my best to make the family I work for feel comfortable and safe leaving their children with me.
