Hello! Welcome to my profile! My name is Daniela, and I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with a passion for caring for children. Originally from Colombia, I currently reside in the Bay Area. With a warm and nurturing nature, I genuinely enjoy being around children of all ages and have accumulated several years of valuable experience in providing them with love, care, and support. Families have described me as respectful, empathetic, kind, and soft-spoken. I prioritize maintaining a peaceful environment wherever I go, ensuring that children feel safe and comfortable under my care. Moreover, I am committed to giving my best effort in everything I undertake. I do have 5+ years of experience in childcare from daycare , to sport team, I’m a Montessori oriented caregiver. In my leisure time, I actively engage in activities that promote both physical and mental well-being. I practice yoga, meditation, and enjoy biking, which allows me to maintain an active lifestyle. If your children are energetic and love to stay active, rest assured that I have the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with them. Thank you for considering me as a potential nanny for your family. I look forward to the opportunity of contributing to the growth and happiness of your children. Warm regards, Daniela

Ida $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a 54year-old mom with a 23-year-old son in college and a super sweet 10-year-old mini poodle. I love hiking, family time, and being around kids and pets. I work from home full-time for Stanford Health Care, so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays, plus evenings, late stays, and weekends. I can help with babysitting, school pick-ups, dog sitting, dog walking, driving, cooking, and light cleaning—whatever makes your life easier. I’ve been caring for kids my whole life (nieces, nephews, friends’ little ones), and I truly enjoy it. I’m also looking to make some extra money to help support my son’s college costs. For peace of mind: • Global Entry (clear background) • Clean driving record • Total dog lover! If you’d like to chat and see if we’re a good match, feel free to reach out. Thanks for considering me!

Maddy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Maddy. I am a recent SDSU graduate with a bachelors in kinesiology. My goal with my degree is to become an occupational therapist in the future. I offer pet care and household services. I am experienced with cats and dogs. I have grown up with cats my whole life and am capable of feeding, playing, and tending to cat litter. I have had a dog for the past seven years and am able to walk, feed, and play with them. I am comfortable with large animals and those that shed. I offer services in cleaning, cooking, laundry, errands, and organizing. I also enjoy baking and would be happy to make some sweet treats upon request of the family. A fun fact about me is I saw John Cena at the mall in San Diego one time.

Jocelyn $35 per hour for 1 child

My name is Jocelyn! I have 3 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. I’ve also been working as a preschool teacher for nearly a year, as well as teaching Sunday school, which has given me even more experience supporting children’s learning, development, and emotional well-being. I’ve completed 12 ECE (Early Childhood Education) units, giving me a strong foundation in child development and age-appropriate care. I’m also an animal lover with 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m dependable, patient, caring, and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and helping them build confidence while making each day engaging and meaningful.
