Necole 1 review
$33 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Menlo Park, CA

Hi, I’m Necole! I am an experienced nanny and caregiver with nearly 10 years of professional caretaking background, including ~7 years supporting my last long-term family from infancy through school age. In May 2026, I completed my BA in Child & Adolescent Development with a minor in Special Education. After taking time to be a stay at home mom, finish my degree, and get married, I am excited to step back into my career field! For the time being, I am specifically seeking short-term/temporary roles (available between 9am–5pm, depending on location) that align seamlessly with my daughters school schedule and allow me to preserve our cherished weekday routines. I bring a structured, nurturing, and development-focused approach, and I am available to provide high-quality short-term support, emergency backup, or temporary coverage for your family. I look forward to connecting! • Resume Available Upon Request

“My family needed emergency care for our boys, who are 2 and 4 years old. Necole watched them for several days, and we were so happy with her service that we requested her for the following week. We have not seen our sons adapt so quickly to someone new. She was very attentive to them and their needs. She did an excellent job with food preparation and daily activities for them. We appreciated her extra efforts, playing music, reading them lots of books and doing arts and crafts (currently displayed in our home). She also made sure they got some safe, fun time outside. She is adaptable to change and figures out things on her own- we were comforted to know that our boys were in good hands.”

$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Menlo Park, CA

I am a very experienced care provider, teacher, nanny and traveling nanny, driver, meal preparer. My profession skills became embedded at a young age and continued through university and beyond. I am very caring, thoughtful, diligent and knowledgeable. I am seeking part time or occasional for some weekend, mornings, evening or over night care where I can go to the home of the family who is hiring me or I can host.

“Jess was great - she bonded really quickly with my six year old daughter and even won over my 9 year old son, which isn't easy. She was responsive and communicative and our kids had a great experience with her. We'll definitely try to use her again in the future. Thanks Jess!”
