Hi❣️ I hope you are well! 💐 My name is Jessica. I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a B.S. in Psychology and Child Development from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I previously studied finance and engineering before realizing that my heart and strengths are truly in working with children and supporting families! 💗 I’ve worked with children for many years in both private family and school settings, including as a nanny and babysitter. I also spent a year as a program coordinator at Cove Elementary, leading enrichment programs for K-4 students in everything from financial literacy and sewing to gardening, circuits, and hands-on creative projects. I genuinely love working with children of all ages, with an especially natural connection to ages 1-5! I love creating a warm, engaging environment through outdoor adventures, imaginative play, reading, creative activities, and developmentally appropriate learning with no screen time. What I value most is becoming someone a family can truly rely on. I care deeply about the children I work with, and find a real sense of purpose in supporting the whole family system, not simply providing childcare. I’m happy to help with meal preparation, outings, errands, light household tasks, and keeping things organized :) I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and take safety, reliability, and communication seriously. I especially love building lasting relationships with families and would be thrilled to connect with a family looking for consistent, recurring care! Hope to meet you 💌
About Me I have 5 years of experience working with children, including after-school programs where I supported students with activities, learning, and development. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and very patient when helping children or families learn new skills. I have built great relationships with the families I’ve worked with and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. Outside of work, I love to dance, work out, ride my bike, bake, cook, and take walks with my dog.
“We had a wonderful experience with Diana! She took amazing care of our 5-year-old, handling the entire bedtime routine, putting our child to bed, and even feeding our dog. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and caring. Our child absolutely loves her and always looks forward to seeing her. Her bedtime routine is amazing: calm, organized, and comforting, which made evenings so much easier for us as parents. A huge plus for our family is that Diana speaks Spanish, which has been wonderful since our child is learning the language. We really appreciated the extra exposure and encouragement in such a natural way. We always felt confident leaving our child in her care and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and loving babysitter. We will book her again for sure. Thank so much Diana!”
Hello! My name is Ana, I am 23 years old, and I have been working as a nanny in the United States for the past three months. I have a degree in Pedagogy and over three years of experience working with children as both a teacher and a nanny in Brazil. I am passionate about early childhood education and believe that every child deserves to grow in a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and eager-to-learn person. Living in another country has given me the opportunity to experience new cultures, improve my English, and further develop my childcare skills. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new places, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I believe in the importance of kindness, respect, and lifelong learning. My goal is to build trusting relationships with families while providing children with attentive care, support, and plenty of encouragement as they grow and learn.

Hi - My name is Giovanna and I’m currently work with babysitter in Novato. I take care of 3 boys (4, 10 and 12y). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, napping time, playdates, extra activities too. I am extremely organized and also offer cleaning and organizing services. I have experience caring for animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, I am passionate about dogs.
“100% reliable!! We had Giovanna babysitting our 2 kids (3 and 4 years old) multiple times. She is always on time, pays attention to the instructions, communicates well and the kids love her. She is extremely responsible and does an amazing job. I would 100% recommend her.”
