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, I am a fun outgoing, dependable nanny of four years now. I adore spending time with children and have 5 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers and children up the age of 12 . Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved babies and cared for them. Now that I'm older I'm ready to pursue a career doing what I love . I take my job very seriously and can assure you that with me your little ones are in great hands. What's most important to me when caring for your little ones is their safety, making sure they have a good time, and teaching them every opportunity I can. I love furry friends as well as cooking and cleaning. I actually enjoy tidying up while the children are napping or playing.. I am willing to do other tasks if requested. Not only am I patient, caring and nurturing, I am also extremely organized, and am great at multitasking.I believe it is very important to encourage children to explore and expand their minds. As well as encourage their imagination!

"I’ve enjoyed having Mikayla as a nanny for some time now. When she first started working for me, I didn’t have any time to watch the children and Mikayla saved my life. I am a single mother so I appreciated her time and dedication to my child. She did everything except for live with me, and was very flexible with the hours and pay. I love her bubbly personality and kind aura. I felt so bad letting her go but I no longer required her assistance. But, I hope she finds another family that loves her as much as I do. If you have any further questions you can contact me at : 669-236-9209 or at Lailahoover@gmail.com"

A little bit about me

I’m 29 and from Elk Grove, with years of experience caring for kids of all ages—including those who are neurodivergent. As a Speech-Language Pathologist Assistant, I support children’s growth in communication and confidence every day. I love being hands-on and creative, turning playtime into fun, engaging learning moments. At the same time, I’m organized, reliable, and patient, always focused on creating a safe, loving space where kids feel supported and free to be themselves.
