Layla $23 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Fairfield, CA

Hello, my name is Layla, Im 28, and I have a 1-year-old little boy at home. I currently nanny for a family a few days a week, but am looking to make an extra income with the occasional date nights, or out of towners looking for sitters. I have plenty of references and years of experience with different families of various ages. My son is the highlight of my life and I would treat your kids no less. I could make a positive impact on somebody's family, and can also provide reliable pet care if needed. I am very animal friendly. My qualifications include CPR, and First Aid certified. Please feel free to message me for any further questions.

Booked by 1 family in Fairfield, CA

Hello! My name is Yesenia. I’m a proud mom of three wonderful children and a dedicated preschool teacher with over 4 years of experience working in an early childhood education setting.

Gwen $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Gwen, and I'm genuinely passionate about working with children. As an early childhood education professional, I absolutely love creating fun, safe, and nurturing spaces where kids can truly thrive. My experience as a TK/Kinder classroom leader and an assistant teacher at a preschool has given me hands-on skills in engaging young learners and supporting their growth. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your little ones are in capable hands. I'm also currently studying Early Childhood Studies at Sonoma State University, which means I'm always learning new ways to support children's development and make our time together enriching and engaging. I'm excited for the opportunity to build positive relationships with both your children and your family!
