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

Hello! My name is Rocío, I’m 28 years old, and I’m from Mexico. Spanish is my first language. I’m married and work as an occasional babysitter. I really enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn simple Spanish words and phrases.
I also love doing crafts, cooking with kids, going for walks, and taking them to the park so they can have fun.
Sometimes, my husband comes with me while I babysit. He usually stays in the background and doesn’t get involved unless the kids want to play with him. But if this makes you uncomfortable, please let me know and I’ll come alone.
I speak English with some mistakes since it’s not my first language, but I can communicate and make myself understood. If that’s not a problem for you and you have some patience, I’d love to work with your family.
Usually, I will ask for a written list of things you would like me to do with your little ones.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Saige, but those who know me often call me Gee. I have been a nanny for around 6 years, and have been babysitting since even before then. I have an AA degree in Child Development, and am currently a nursing student. My classes are online however, which allows me to have more flexibility in hours for my employment. I am very friendly, active, and have been fortunate enough to work with kids across all ages at this point in my nanny career. I have been so blessed by finding great families that I feel respected, and loved in. I love working with children, and plan to do so even after I have finished my nursing schooling. I love animals, but am unfortunately allergic to cats. I have experience with: soccer, horseback riding, swimming, meal prep, light housekeeping pertaining to the children, nap time, and planning activities. I am looking to work with a great family as I have recently moved here from NorCal. Let me know if I sound like a good fit for your family :)

"Saige was my child’s favorite nanny! She watched our now 6 year old girl for around 3 years. She loved Saige so much, and we could tell that Saige loved her. She is reliable, punctual, and was always on time. She did light meal prep and even though cleaning up wasn’t in her list of job responsibilities, we always came home to a clean kitchen and picked up living room. We wish she was still here in town, and know she has a bright future."

"Carol watched my 2 kids ( 6 and 3 yo) while my husband and I worked from home. She was always punctual and always had a positive attitude. My kids adored Carol and her loving, warm and fun personality. They looked forward to having her watch them. She was really connected and engaged with the kids in whatever activities they were doing. She's responsible, patient, and flexible. Sometimes our plans changed and even with short notice she would do her best to help us. Carol is a gem! We were very fortunate to have her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thrust worthy person to watch their kids."
