Stephanie $34 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! My name is Stephanie. I have over 10 years of experience under my belt as a nanny/babysitter. I have a deep love for children and strongly believe in gentle parenting where patience, empathy, and respectful communication guide every interaction. I believe every child deserves the freedom to be their authentic self. I strive to support children by encouraging creativity, individuality, and emotional expression. My overall goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children feel heard, confident, and are free to grow into their unique personalities. I am a mother of 2 boys - ages 2 and 12, so I am comfortable with any age! I am a huge lover of animals, arts and crafts, and sports!

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!

$33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 14 families in Vallejo, CA

Hello! My name is Yingzhou.I am a responsible, patient, and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience taking care of children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I can help with daily routines such as feeding, bathing, and bedtime, as well as preparing healthy meals, organizing activities and supporting school drop-offs, pick-ups, and extracurricular activities. I believe in positive communication, encouraging creativity, and giving children the attention and care they need. With more than a decade of childcare experience, I understand the importance of supporting parents, being reliable, and keeping an open line of communication. My goal is to make life easier for the family while ensuring the children are happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would love the opportunity to bring my energy, responsibility, and warmth to your family.

“As a FTM, I was so anxious about finding the right care for our newborn. But Ying is not just a nanny, she embodies the definition of “mom”. My only regret is not hiring her sooner but we waited until our daughter was around 3 months and will continue to use her into the foreseeable future (Currently she is now 5.5 months). Sweet, kind, gentle and so much compassion. She’s helpful with the baby, around the house and her knowledge in child care is impressive. She speaks canto, mandarin and her English is great. ”
