Hi! My name is Vanessa, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teens. For the past 6 years, I've been with my current family full-time during the week. On weekends, I regularly help other families in Lafayette, providing childcare, doing overnights with the kids, and sometimes even dog sitting! I'm bilingual (English and Portuguese), CPR certified, and very flexible with scheduling. I'm also planning to move from my family's home by end of December and be based in San Francisco, so I'll be looking for a full-time position by then! I'm patient, responsible, and truly love what I do. I create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel supported. I'm happy to follow household routines. I'm also interested in becoming a certified doula to support growing families even more. I have many great references available upon request so fell free to reach out-I'd love to connect!

Hello families! I am a patient, responsible, and caring caregiver with more than ten years of experience caring for and supporting children, seniors, and families. As a mother, I understand how important safety, patience, and trust are. I can help with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, walks, transportation to medical appointments, and daily routines. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, music, and creating a calm and positive environment for children. I am also comfortable with pets. I speak Persian and English, have reliable transportation, and hold a current First Aid certification. My background in customer service, education, photography, and community work has helped me become organized, dependable, creative, and respectful toward people from different cultures and backgrounds. I listen carefully to each family’s needs and always treat children, seniors, and their families with kindness and respect.

I've been caring for infants, toddlers, and children since I was 16. I love creating fun, engaging moments, going on walks, playing sports, reading books, doing crafts, or imaginative play. I've taught swimming lessons to children in a community project, coached Olympic gymnastics for kids. I'm CPR certified and a safe, reliable driver. Child Care Experience: Babysitting infants, toddlers, and school-aged children since the age of 16. Hospital internship assisting in pediatric recreation programs, promoting creativity, physical development, and social skills. Full-time nanny for 2 years, supporting daily routines and overall child development.

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

Hi! My name is Yoselyn. I am from Peru and I speak Spanish and English. I have over 8 years of experience working with children through volunteering, babysitting, and childcare support. I am very patient, caring, honest, and responsible. I have taken childcare and infant care courses, and I am trained in first aid. I have also participated in volunteer work with children, which strengthened my passion for childcare. I truly enjoy supporting children's development and helping them learn, explore, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I always prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being. I am looking for a respectful and safe environment where I can support families and be part of children's daily routine. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, watching movies, riding my bike, exploring new places, and hiking. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, care, and positive energy to your family and support your children's growth.
