A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lisa. I am passionate about creating safe, engaging environments so children can learn and thrive.

Since February 2024, I’ve been the proud full-time nanny to a truly extraordinary toddler (2 now!) and his vivacious 8 year-old sister. The little one is about to head off to daycare so it’s time for me to find my next nanny family :)

I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2010 with degrees in Psychology and Mass Communication. I worked in marketing for years before I decided my real passion was childcare.

Let me help give you peace of mind while providing your little ones with the care and attention they deserve.
