Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again.

I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I’m a non smoker with a clean driving record who lives a very healthy lifestyle I am interested in building long lasting relationships with families. My childcare expertise also lies in raising my daughter to become a successful and independent adult, and I do understand the challenges and rewards that parents face.

Hello , let me introduce myself. My name is Waldineia. I have two boys of my own, which one of them is 25 years old and the younger who is 15 years old. I used to be a pre-school teacher in my home town in Brasil. I have been living in Marin county for 25 years. Since then, I have been working as a nanyny. I have a lot of experience working with infants ( twins), toddler, and children almost any age. I like to explore nature and do outside activities with them. I always treat the children with respect and caring as they were my own. I’m passionate to being around them. I love watching young minds grow and learn. Looking forward to providing your family care and support.

Wal has been babysitting our 3 kids (ages 6, 4, and 6 months) the past few months - she is always reliable, patient, and very trustworthy. We are so lucky we found her - the kids absolutely love her!
