I’m a super auntie who has loved caring for kids since I was a teenager! I raised my two nieces from infancy and I absolutely adore every moment with children. I work comfortably with infants all the way up to teens. For years I ran an after-school playground program with 75–100 kids, where I worked with all kinds of personalities and backgrounds. I’m patient, attentive, and believe love and kindness come first. I love helping children work through their feelings and problems in a gentle way — kids have such amazing perspectives and they teach us so much! I’m also happy to lend a hand with light housework, elderly care, or pets. Whether it’s playing, doing homework, or just being a warm, reliable presence, I bring fun and care to every family. I’d love to meet yours! 💕
Bonjour, My name is Sylviane. I am a native of Switzerland and have been living in California now for the last 24 years. I have had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom while homeschooling my two children. My children are my best resume as they are kind, confident and considerate human beings. I am proud of them...as you can see :-) Here is a quick summary of my child care/education experience: French is my mother tongue and I have taught beginning and conversational French to students age 4-17, in small private group settings and in private tutoring. Also, for 4 years, I participated and taught in a neighborhood preschool with a group of 3-6 children. We mainly focused on values like creativity, kindness, cooperation, uniqueness and joy. In the last 3 years I have been a nanny for a family with a 9 month old and a 3 years old. That was the children's ages when I started. I can provide reference info. Feedbacks I have received describe me as a calm, loving, fun and creative person. I enjoy reinforcing children's interests through hands-on activities, reading and outdoor exploration. My approach focuses on nurturing and encouraging their natural curiosity and imagination, offering guidance when needed for problem solving, respectful communication and self regulation of emotions. Now that my children are grown and independent I am available and thrilled to offer my assistance and experience to your family. I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren. Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Sylviane
“Sylviane was an absolute delight - kind, thoughtful, experienced, organized, responsive, punctual. She went above and beyond to immediately connect with our four-year-old and make her feel at ease. We were visiting San Diego from out of town, and Sylviane brought a bag full of books and crafts that they could play with. As a mom who was anxious about our daughter staying with someone new in a new city, Sylviane put us completely at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough - I only wish she lived in Dallas!”

Hello, my name is Kasey I am a 32 year school contractor, previously a full-time nanny for 2 toddler boys with special needs. I am looking for families who need date nights on weeknights or weekends. I can do care during school breaks as well. I have had experience with children, ages 0 to 20plus years, specializing in individuals with disabilities and special needs. I have taken a child development class and have assisted in creating an educational preschool curriculum. I am willing to cook meals, make bottles, change diapers and help with homework. I love fun activities and am not afraid to sing, dance, and be silly with the kids. I truly believe childcare and teaching are my callings which inspired me to pursue my degree. For my pet parents, I am also an animal lover and more than comfortable with families who own pets, in fact I have my own pet sitting business as well. I am CPR and first aid certified for infants, children, and adults plus pets.
