Find nannies in Stanford, CA

With 19 years of experience in education, I bring a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and genuine passion to every family I work with. Throughout my career, I have taught 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades and have served in school leadership roles. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of child development, learning, behavior, and how to create environments where children feel safe, supported, and successful. In addition to my professional career in education, I have provided babysitting and nanny services for more than 25 years. I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns through teenagers and am comfortable adapting to the unique needs of every age and stage. Excellent references are available upon request. Although my professional career has been in education and school leadership, I have continued providing childcare throughout the years because I truly enjoy working with children and supporting families. As I search for my next long-term leadership opportunity, I am excited to dedicate more of my time to caring for children—something that has always been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Over the years, many of the children I've cared for have described me as "firm, fair, and fun"—and I truly believe all three can exist together. Parents have affectionately referred to me as the local "Super Nanny" and even "The Baby Whisperer," compliments that I cherish because they reflect the trust families place in me. My philosophy is simple: children thrive when they are loved, respected, and held to high expectations. I encourage kindness, good manners, personal responsibility, and respect for both others and their environment. I believe children should spend time outdoors, use their imagination, solve problems, and learn to work cooperatively with others—including their siblings. I create a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, capable, and confident while having plenty of fun along the way. Whether your family is looking for an occasional date-night sitter, a dependable nanny, homework support, or someone who can confidently care for multiple children, my goal is always the same: to provide exceptional care while giving parents complete peace of mind. I strive to become a trusted extension of your family and someone your children are excited to see each time I walk through the door.

Hi, I’m Andreina, a 36 years old caregiver based in Redwood City with a genuine passion for supporting families in their daily lives. I bring over three years of hands on experience working with children of different age groups, from toddlers to teens, always prioritizing structure, clear communication and a positive atmosphere. One of my favorite things is guiding children to develop their intuition, helping them go beyond what their eyes can see and trust what they feel inside. I love incorporating movement and dance into our time together, as a way to express emotions, shift energy and bring joy into everyday moments. Beyond childcare, I have solid experience in pet care, animal behavior and training. I have a natural ability to read energy and communicate with animals on a deeper level, which allows me to truly understand their needs and keep them calm and balanced. I’m detail-oriented, dependable and grounded in values like healthy living and mindfulness. I believe that truly caring for a family means showing up with integrity every single day.
