"I’m happy to recommend Emelina as a nanny and caregiver. She has been taking amazing care of our 2-year-old since last year and has become such an important part of our lives and our family’s daily routine.
Emelina is incredibly loving, patient, dependable, and attentive. From the very beginning, she built a wonderful bond with our child, creating a warm, safe, and nurturing environment every day. She is the kind of person you can trust completely with your child, which gave us enormous peace of mind as parents.
Beyond being reliable and responsible, Emelina is genuinely caring and engaged. She is thoughtful about our child’s development, keeps them active and happy, and handles every situation with calmness and kindness. Our little one absolutely adores her!
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Emelina in our lives, and any family would be fortunate to have her caring for their children. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without hesitation."

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a CPR-certified mom to a 2-year-old daughter and I’m looking for a family that’s open to a nanny mom setup where my daughter can come with me. I genuinely enjoy being around kids and creating a calm, fun, home-like environment for them instead of just sitting inside all day.
I enjoy age-appropriate outdoor activities, parks, reading, learning through play, and engaging children in fun everyday activities, snack/lunch prep, and little adventure days. I also enjoy teaching younger kids simple things throughout the day like colors, shapes, counting, phonics, letters, and basic learning through play and everyday activities.
I’m naturally patient, nurturing, and very used to caring for toddlers full-time. I’d love to find a family that likes the idea of their child having companionship, outdoor experiences, learning, and a more warm and engaging environment throughout the day.

I am a mother with almost 15 years of professional nanny experience. I single-handedly raised my two children who are now adults: my daughter, who just recently graduated with her PhD in biomedical therapeutics, and my son, who works in real estate in San Francisco. I have experience providing nanny services to infants as young as a few weeks through the age of 5. I have previously also provided light housecleaning and cooking services for the children. I am also trilingual as I can speak English well and can speak and teach Mandarin, Cantonese, or both to your child if you wish.
I'm happy to provide my full resume and references upon request.

My name is Natalia Rodríguez, and I’m very interested in the nanny position in Hayward. I’m an experienced and caring nanny with over two years of childcare experience — I cared for two children (ages 5 and for one year, and later for a little girl in San Francisco from age 4 to 6.
I’m originally from Colombia and currently a master’s student at the University of San Francisco. I recently moved to Hayward, CA, so your location is perfect for me. I’m vegetarian, a non-smoker, and fully up-to-date on my vaccinations.
I speak both English and Spanish, love working with children, and always focus on creating a warm, safe, and stimulating environment. I’m responsible, organized, and happy to help with baby-related chores such as feeding, diaper changes, organizing clothes, and keeping the play area clean.
I would be delighted to bring my positive energy, patience, and experience to care for your twins full-time.
