Hello my name is Martha I am 25 years old and a college graduate. I am the oldest of three so I have experience with taking care of younger children. I know how to cook,clean, change diapers, and I have my own car. Hope to hear from you.
Hello! I am currently a special education extensive needs Para Educator in a middle school SPED classroom with the Sacramento County of Education (SCOE). I have 5 years experience as a lead preschool teacher. I worked as a French immersion preschool teacher at the International School of San Francisco, where I work with kids between 4-5 years old. This is a Prek-12th French immersion IB school. I have experience as a French immersion preschool teacher at Au Beau Séjour French Preschool in Oakland, working with ages 3-4. I have experience as a Preschool Teacher at Acorn to Oak in Sacramento, working with ages 3-5. This school followed Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf philosophies. I have nanny / babysitting experience with ages 6mo - 10 (I have experience babysitting 1 - 4 child families). I grew up with younger twin siblings that I loved helping taking care of. I am CPR and First Aid Certified and have 43.5 Early Childhood Education Units with a certificate in Early Childhood Education. I have a Bachelor of Fine Art and am passionate about art and creativity, which I find very valuable when working with kids. I love nature (I have chickens, a turkey and rabbits at home). I speak French and Spanish (I have experience teaching in French). I have a good driving record. In my teaching/caring, I am passionate about kindness, creativity and learning through play.
Hello there, my name is Savana and I recently obtained my bachelor’s degree. I have worked with kids off and on for the last 8 years. The most common age group that I have experience with ranges from 3-13 year olds. I am a super active person so I love to get kids moving and have fun doing as many activities as possible! When it comes to pets, I am good with it all from walking to feeding and playing as well. I can also clean and do household activities/services too.
Hello future family, My name is Olga and if you’re looking for a trustworthy nanny, I obtain 8+ years of professional experience working with local and out of town families. I have an AA in business with (CPD) accredited courses in early childhood development. I offer help with online/written homework, Montessori learning, meal preparation/clean up, laundry, bedtime, outdoor/indoor sports/ and a fun and engaging learning experience for your children! I am looking for families who take the time and consideration to see if we are a match by setting up a zoom/phone call and after meeting in person and potentially setting a test run. Thank you for your consideration and time and I hope to meet you soon!
“Olga is wonderful with kids! She’s kind, patient, and easy-going, which makes children feel comfortable and cared for around her. She’s reliable, responsible, and always brings a positive energy. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter!””
I worked for Roseville Unified School District in the TK/kinder classroom as an Instructional aide for Math/Phonics Fulltime for 2 years. Raised a family of 5 children in Granite Bay and have lived here for 39 years. I love kids! I love to play sports of all kinds with children, crafts, and all types of art. My passion is to help a child develop their Inner strength and self confidence through educational structure and games, making it so fun they don’t even realize their growing and learning. To watch, learn, and grow with a child is the greatest of life’s gifts I could ever have.
“Julie is an exceptional nanny. Her positive attitude and calm demeanor made everything effortless, even in challenging situations. Her communication skills were impeccable. Our 7-month-old child instantly bonded with her. She is highly experienced and worth every penny. Our little one was out of routine and away from us for the first time that evening. Julie handled the situation exceptionally well. Will hire her again!”
