Hello parents and families! I am a graduate of Howard University and a Tech professional in the Chicago / Gold Coast area. I am interested in establishing relationships with families here looking for weekend/weeknight/ date night/ and occasional sitting jobs. I would be interested in both consistent work or one-time sitting jobs. I've been babysitting and nannying for over 20 years with children of all ages (starting as early as 2 months spanning up to 14 years) including special needs children, and volunteered at my community church in the pre-k/first grade department. I am the oldest of four children and I'm 9 years apart from the youngest, so I am very familiar with large family dynamics and busy households. I also grew up with two dogs so my house was always bustling with energy. I love children, and I'm open to assisting in family activities as well (errands, outings, etc.). I also have experience housesitting and pet-sitting for families on vacation. I'm willing to assist with any cooking, cleaning, and school-related tasks. I have a pretty open availability evening and weekends, and can be flexible if given enough notice. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding past/current experience and availability!

My name is Manuela, and I am a physical therapist graduate of Universidad Iberoamericana in Bogotá, Colombia. With CPR certification and emergency response training, I bring a medical professional's level of care and attentiveness to each child in my care. With extensive experience supporting families across the Bay Area, I am now proud to call Carmel Valley home, having recently settled here with my fiancé, who grew up right here in Carmel Valley. Patient, responsible, and deeply caring, I specialize in infant and toddler care and take pride in being a caregiver that families can truly rely on.

Welcome to your child's home away from home! With over 10 years of childcare experience, I provide high-quality, home-based care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind while creating a place where children feel comfortable, valued, and excited to spend their day. My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of several parks, the public library, kid-friendly restaurants and shopping, and a skate park, giving children plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. Whether we're reading books, creating crafts, playing outside, or enjoying home-cooked meals together, every day is designed to be active, enriching, and fun. I specialize in flexible care, including overnights, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My home is smoke-free, alcohol-free, clean, and child-friendly, and I strive to provide the consistency and warmth of a true "home away from home." Parents receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the day so they can feel confident and connected while their children are in my care. I believe every family deserves dependable, compassionate childcare built on trust, communication, and genuine care.

Hello! I am an aspiring elementary teacher, and am currently substitute teaching Mondays- Fridays. I am primarily looking for caregiving jobs that coincide with typical school break schedules (i.e full time gig in the summer, winter break, spring break, etc). I love kids, and am great with pets as well. I also enjoy cooking as my main passion/ hobby outside of education, so I am more than capable of helping with meals/ meal prep. Please reach out if my availability/ skill set aligns with your family’s needs!
