Hello Parents! My name is Jessica, and I’m an experienced, caring, and reliable nanny with 7 years of experience working with children of all ages. Legally authorized to work .I specialize in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment while supporting children’s development through engaging activities and structured routines. My journey began in 2019 in Connecticut, where I worked with two wonderful families. I cared for three children—two boys (ages 4 and 7) and a girl (8 years old)—for six months, and then transitioned to a second family with four kids, including 3-year-old twins, a 9-year-old boy, and an 11-year-old girl. After moving to California, I spent 1 year and 6 months caring for two lovely girls, aged 4 and 7. And after that I had the opportunity to care for a baby girl, starting when she was 11 months old until she was 1 year and 7 months and with the same family I worked caring for their second daughter from 4 months to 2 years old. ✔️ My skills :Time management , Creative Planning, Emergency response, Excellent Communication skills, Problem Solving, Proactive,Patient . Services I offer : ✅ Last minute nanny service ( save my contact for future work) ✅ Overnight, house sitting and weekends . ( if you need help in a party too) ✅ Errand running & household organization ✅ House assistant services (Google suite experience,schedule appointments , and others ) I’m passionate about helping children grow, learn, and thrive, and I’d love to bring my experience to your family. Looking forward to connecting! Thank you!

Jessica was great with our 10 month old! She was on time and followed his schedule perfectly. I would definitely hire her again for future baby-sitting.

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, my name is Jahaira. I am currently a preschool teacher in Palo Alto. I have been teaching there for over 9 years. I love working with children.

Hi families! I’m Marilyn! I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for kids from toddlers to teens (ages 2–13). I love keeping things fun with outings to the park, library story times, or helping with ballet, swimming, and after-school activities. I’m currently working with a few local families and am happy to help with light errands, dog walks (I’m a big animal lover!), and keeping things tidy around the house. I’m reliable, warm, and always happy to plan ahead especially for date nights or evening babysitting. Looking forward to meeting your family!
