Nanny shares, the best of both worlds

The Sylvester Family
We chose a nanny share because it allowed us to make sure that our child was getting great, individual attention from a person that we could trust while helping us to manage costs. We couldn't afford to have one nanny, and found another family that was in a similar situation and shared our values.

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Lani. I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages for most of my life. There are so many reasons why I love caring and working with kids, here are just a few; the genuine smiles and laughter I’ve had with them, really listening and hearing their thoughts, their dreams, and even their fears, giving comfort in times of need, bringing out each child’s individual creativity and appreciating each child’s way of getting there, and finally knowing I have made a positive difference in a child’s life.

My experience caring for children spans a lifetime, almost! I had the privilege of being a stay at home mom for 15 years and in these years I headed up bookfairs, became PTO President, made awesome Halloween costumes, headed up bake sales and helped with all kinds of fundraising activities, became a Girl Scout leader and yes, I was that “mom” that put little encouraging notes in their lunchboxes. I acquired a job at an Early Education Center from [phone number hidden].

A little bit about me

I’m a warm, reliable nanny with over 5 years of professional childcare experience, caring for children from 4 months to 9 years old. Supporting children’s growth–emotionally, socially, and creatively–is work I genuinely love and take seriously.
Growing up in a family of 7 gave me early hands-on experience caring for younger siblings and navigating busy household dynamics. While my professional experience is my foundation, those early years helped shape the patience, adaptability, and intuition I bring to my work today.
I studied psychology at Penn State University for two years, and plan to continue studies in CA, with the goal of earning my PhD. I’m especially interested in child development and emotional wellbeing, which strongly influences how I interact with and support children.
In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, skateboarding, writing, arts and crafts, hiking, and cuddling with my cat. I’m happy to provide references and would love to learn more about what you’re looking for.
