I am a 21-year-old Brazilian nanny with around seven years of experience caring for children, especially infants from 0 to 11 months. I have always been passionate about childcare—ever since my first contact with a baby, even when I was still a child myself, I naturally developed a strong caregiver instinct. I am CPR and First Aid certified, I drive, and I can speak both Portuguese and English. I truly believe caring for children is a mutual exchange: while I help shape their early development with love, patience, and responsibility, they also teach me and help me grow as a person. I genuinely enjoy providing safe, attentive, and loving care to these little human beings.
I’ve over 8 years of experience caring for kids from 6 months to 10 years old, both as a nanny and former Au Pair. I’m CPR certified and experienced with sleep routines, baby-led weaning, potty training, and age-appropriate developmental activities. I currently work full-time (Monday–Friday) with a wonderful family and have been with them for the past 22 months, the little boy is currently two and half years and I have been with him since he was seven months old. I’m now looking for part-time or occasional weekend opportunities to support other families who may need an extra set of hands. I love creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Whether it’s crafts, music, dancing, reading, or outdoor play, I enjoy helping kids learn, explore, and grow. I also focus on emotional support, helping little ones understand and express their feelings in a healthy way. I’m happy to assist with children-related tasks like tidying play areas, organizing clothes, preparing meals, and driving to activities or fun outings. I’ve a valid driver’s license and feel very comfortable around pets (I’ve a dog and two kittins). I would love to be that extra helping hand for your family — someone you can trust, rely on, and feel at ease with while your little ones are in caring hands.
“Laura was absolutely fantastic!! My little one warmed up to her right away, despite her peak 18 month separation anxiety, and Laura was great at playing with and instructing her. Laura clearly knew what she was doing, and was able to calm a little tantrum as well. Thank you, Laura!!”
Hi my name is Mikayla and I am currently a student at San Jose State studying child development. I have a passion for working with kids and I have a lot of experience working with all ages. I am super outgoing and a very organized person. With my major I have been able to learn a lot about children and how to be a good care giver at the best of my ability. I enjoy being outdoors and spending quality time with my niece who is 10 who I have babysat on multiple occasions since she was an infant. I am super flexible and excited to work with new families!
My name is Fernando and I am a current after school teacher and college student. I provide child care, pet sitting, and household services. Having raised and taken care of my siblings and cousins has helped me gain experience and knowledge on how to care for younger children. The raising of children and helping families through dependable and quality childcare have been my career highlights over the last six years. Working as a helper with kindergartners in an after-school program has taught me how to be patient, cool-headed, and creative when interacting with kids. I am always eager to adjust to your preference in communication to update you about your child's progress during the day. I drive and absolutely adore animals, so there is no problem having them along with us as part of the fun and excitement.
Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!
