Find nannies in Silverado, CA

Hello I have been caring for children for over 10 years. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, especially with infants and toddlers. I studied child development and early childhood education in college and am passionate about my work. I'm patient, calm, and love to have fun with kids. I like taking them outside, exploring in nature, playing with water, going for walks, playing pretend, reading books, games/puzzles, building with legos & doing arts/crafts.

Hi, I’m Vera! I’ve cared for and taught kids for 8+ years, and I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, so I’m happy to keep your kids practicing either language while we play, read, or do homework. Babysitting: ages 1 to 7, since high school Teaching: led classes for kids ages 5 to 16 over 5 school terms through Teach for America and an Oakland education nonprofit Tutoring: 8 years of one-on-one tutoring in math and language, toddler through high school I’m calm, patient, and consistent, and I keep kids on routine. I’m also glad to help around the house: tidying up, laundry, meal prep, and leaving things cleaner than I found them. I’ve also helped care for elderly family members and managed their households. Based in central Orange County with my own car, happy to drive for school pickups and activities. My schedule is wide open, including last-minute requests, overnights, and weekends.

I am a retired nurse with many years of professional healthcare experience, providing compassionate and attentive care to individuals of all ages. Throughout my nursing career, I developed strong skills in patient care, safety, health monitoring, and responding calmly and effectively to a variety of situations. Since retiring, I have continued to stay active in caregiving by helping care for my granddaughter on an as-needed basis. This ongoing experience allows me to remain engaged in supporting a child’s daily needs, including feeding, diaper changes, playtime, comforting, and maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. My background in nursing gives me a strong understanding of child health, development, and overall well-being, while my experience as a grandmother has further strengthened my patience, warmth, and ability to connect with children. I take pride in providing dependable, attentive, and loving care, ensuring that children feel safe, supported, and encouraged as they grow and learn.

Dear Team, With over 21 years of experience in early childhood education, my passion for watching children grow and develop has only deepened. My journey began by volunteering at my church’s Vacation Bible School, where the children affectionately referred to me as "Mr. Kyle." This experience ignited my love for being involved in their learning. At Fullerton College, I immersed myself in child development courses, earning my Associate's Degree and Childhood Teacher Certificate while gaining hands-on experience at the campus preschool. After a few years in various preschools, I returned to complete my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Pacific Oaks College. This blend of education and practical experience has allowed me to create fun and supportive environments where children can thrive. I genuinely enjoy helping children discover new skills and reach their potential. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your team. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to making your school a place where both teachers and parents feel confident knowing their children are in good hands.

We carefully supervise all play, set dogs up for success, and intervene proactively when needed. Safety is always our top priority. ✔ We live on property so they are not alone overnight ✔ Experienced handlers at all times ✔ Dogs grouped only when appropriate ✔ Comfortable care for both social and non-social dogs Our own well-balanced dogs assist us daily and help create stable, positive experiences for guests. 💤 Comfort & Routine At night, each dog rests in their own kennel inside our climate-controlled kennel room, complete with clean beds and cozy blankets.

We’ve been boarding and training dogs at our ranch for over a decade, and nothing matters more to us than providing a safe, happy, and positive experience for every dog who stays with us.
