I’m a dependable and compassionate nanny with several years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs. I’ve completed Human Growth and Development and Teaching coursework, which helps me understand children’s emotional and developmental stages. I’m patient, creative, and love keeping kids engaged through play, learning, and routine. I’m also comfortable with pets, light housekeeping, and school pickups. Families describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with.
Hi Families! I would like to introduce myself, my name is Bianca, but I also go by Bibi. I am a full time dental assistant and love what I do. As a dental assistant for both adults and children, i’ve learned to be patient, gentle and really tune into what each child needs to feel comfortable. I bring warmth, kindness, & positive energy to every moment. I’d love the chance to make your child feel happy, cared for, & right at home with me!
I am a warm, caring, and dependable nanny with over five years of experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I truly enjoy being around children and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where they feel supported, understood, and encouraged to grow. I consider myself responsible, patient, organized, intuitive, and kind. While many people can watch children, I believe that building a genuine connection with them is what truly makes a difference. I focus on forming strong bonds based on trust, respect, and communication, and I always strive to make children feel comfortable and valued. I am attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality, and I take pride in being someone families can rely on. I love helping children learn, explore, and develop through play, creativity, and daily routines. My goal is always to support both children and parents by providing consistent, thoughtful, and high-quality care.
Hi families! My name is Arnelyn and I graduated from UC Davis in 2021 with a major in Psychology and minor in Sociology. I am excited to offer childcare support and household support if needed. I have worked with children for as long as I can remember. I am the eldest of 5 children so I’ve had my fair share in having to babysit and watch my siblings. In addition, I have almost 5 years experience working in Youth Development as a Program Leader and Program Coordinator for an afterschool program. I have had the opportunity to work with school aged children from TK all the way to 5th grade. I currently work in the social services department where I work closely with adults and their children. I can support children with homework, reading, and arts & crafts activities. I am excited to meet your family!
Hi! I'm Sophia and I've dedicated over 5 years to professional childcare, including roles at institutions such as the Sonoma State Children's School, Stanford Children's Center, and the Youth Science Institute. Currently, I'm pursuing a graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling and my goal is to become a specialized therapist for kids, combining practical experience with academic insight. I also am currently working in Class 1 at Heritage Montessori in Lake Forest. I'm deeply passionate about fostering creativity, providing a nurturing environment, and supporting the holistic well-being of the children I care for. Excited to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to your family and make a positive impact!

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
