Hello, My name is Lori. I'm a fun, loving, energetic Nanny/Sitter with more than 30 years experience. I'm married and have two boys of my own, ages 17 and 11. I don't mind commuting. This year will be my 32nd winter in Tahoe and I'm very confident driving in the snow. A little about me.... I'm honest, very reliable, and always on time. I love kids and they love me. Childcare is my chosen profession, and I love it. I had a licensed daycare in my home for 6 years. I cared for 7 children, including infants through age 12. I've also worked at a large daycare center. The majority of my career I've worked as a Nanny. I'm great with kids of all ages. Several families have given me the nickname "baby whisperer". I love arts and crafts, reading, music, and playing games. Though I'll admit, if the weather is good, I prefer to be outside with the kids. I love the outdoors. I snowboard in the winter, hike year round, and I love to mountain bike, swim, and paddle board during the summer. I enjoy doing all of these activities with kids too if they're interested. Most of the time, with younger kids, we take walks, play at the beach during summer and go sledding and play in the snow during winter. It's really up to the kids, and their ages and interests. I'm ready for anything. I'll provide references upon request. If you hire me, Your children will receive the best care you could possibly hope for. You'll have a hard time finding someone else with my level of experience. I'd love the opportunity to speak with you and answer any questions you may have. Thank you, I hope to hear from you soon. Lori R.

Lori was great! she was very communicative, great with follow up and responsiveness. Also very prompt! We definitely recommend Lori!

Hi my name is Sheri, I love children of all ages, having raised two of my own, I also had the privilege to care for my newborn grandson until he was two years old and started preschool. I have been lovingly caring for children for many years and started as a teenager. Most recently I worked as a senior caregiver, finding it most rewarding. I also love animals having had dogs and currently two cats.

My name is Juliana and I am from Argentina. I am 30 years old. As I have studied English as a Second Language I have experience working at primary schools and at kindergarten level. I have experience as a sitter for four years now in Lake Tahoe area. During these years I have taken good care of children from babies newly born to kids 7 years old. I like dynamism, and being creative has helped me to add variety to my everyday routines making kids have fun and enjoy while playing. I am very responsable and I do understand that taking care of children and even infants may be difficult and challenging. Thus, I believe I have the tools and carisma to make things work.

Juli did a great job at entertaining 5 children! She took them to the arcades, beach and kept them busy while we were away. Highly recommend!

Hi, my name is Gig. I enjoy helping children grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. With over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-age kids, I’ve enjoyed working as a full-time nanny, part-time nanny, and an au pair. I’m passionate about outdoor activities and love spending time in nature. Whether going for walks, playing outside, or organizing fun activities in the fresh air, I believe in keeping children active and engaged. I’m also an avid skier with a love for the mountains, and I enjoy sharing my excitement for the outdoors with kids.

Tassanee came through for us in a last minute pinch. I cannot thank her enough. I booked her literally 1 hour before I needed help. She was a great communicator, professional and kept me updated. I would book her again.
