Hello! My name is Julia. I am an experienced nanny who loves working with children. I have more than 10 years of experience, first working at an infant-preschool age daycare and then going on to nanny for two families. Some of my hobbies include reading, biking, running, and other forms of outdoor exercise. I also love going on walks around my neighborhood with my dog MJ :).

My name is Nate. I offer specialized care for children, seniors, and pets. With a calm demeanor and a deep sense of responsibility, I quickly build rapport with all. I'm here to provide peace of mind and excellent care for your most cherished family members.
Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! As a former Program Facilitator and Youth Development Specialist, I have three years of experience supporting families by providing reliable care. I am currently a receptionist at a Pediatrics office. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I am comfortable enforcing household rules and caring for children of all ages. I keep parents informed through verbal communication at pickup, regular updates via text or phone call, and by following your preferred communication method. I enjoy board games, puzzles, and even some technology-based games. I am also willing to help with carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I speak both English and Spanish. I hope to bring my enthusiasm and experience to your family!
