Hi, my name is Diana , and I am a professional nanny and caregiver with over 5 years of experience in childcare. During this time, I have worked with children of various ages, from newborns to teenagers, helping them grow both emotionally and educationally. I am passionate about fostering meaningful connections with families while supporting the growth and well-being of the little ones under my care. Some of my responsibilities include organizing educational and recreational activities, planning healthy meals, managing household tasks, and ensuring safe and stimulating environments. Additionally, I am an organized, reliable, and adaptable person. I can cook, clean, and run errands, always prioritizing the needs of the families I support. I am also trilingual (Spanish, English, and French) and hold First Aid and CPR certification, ensuring I am prepared for any emergency. Let me know if you’d like to tweak or add anything!

Booked by 1 family in Los Altos, CA

Hi! My name is Julia, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience caring for infants, toddlers, children, and pets. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco and truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have a background in Veterinary Medicine, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to stay calm in any situation. Families describe me as dependable, kind, organized, and proactive. I love planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, reading, arts and crafts, and helping children reach developmental milestones. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks related to the children, meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, and pet care. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for parents while making each day fun and enriching for the children in my care.

“Julia was wonderful with my two girls! She was on time, very sweet, and the girls warmed up to her quickly. I felt comfortable leaving them with her and everything went really well. I would definitely have her back!”

Booked by 2 families in Los Altos, CA

Hi, my name is Lauren. I have three years of experience working with children (both formal and informal). I have done pickup/drop off for grade school kids, taken them to the library, park, and extra curricular activities. I prioritize creating fun, engaging, and playful environments while taking care of children. I’m currently working full time, during the school year, as a Behavior Technician at Los Altos School District; I have worked in ABA therapy and alongside children with ASD for a little over three years now. I graduated from SJSU in May 2025 with my B.A. in Behavioral Science. If you’d like to see if I have availability that isn’t listed on my calendar, please feel free to reach out and ask! Also open to date night hours/weekends. Look forward to meeting you & your kiddos! :)

“Lauren has been a fantastic caregiver for our girls (4,8) as we adjust to new surroundings in Palo Alto and a new role for me as a student.”
