A little bit about me
I'm currently searching for a night-nurse position, or evening and weekend work.
I'm always excited to share why I chose Nannying as my career path.
I think children are deserving of great care, and nannying allows for specialized attention. I aim to provide a safe and loving environment for children to explore and discover the world and their place in it.
I focus on hands-on learning and play, do not use screen time, and spend time outside. I love and encourage reading, and creativity.
My experience is with families with 2-4 children, and mostly infants and toddlers. I am well versed in sleep scheduling and training, infant milestones and sensory play; with toddlers I like to focus on sensory play, letters/shapes/colours and loving the world around us.
I'm 29, have my degree in cultural and religious studies, have spent some years abroad and am bi-lingual French and English, learning Mandarin and Cantonese.

a Full-time Nanny position reasonably
near where I reside in the San Clara

and focusing on their
development talking, reading,
drawing, playing, crafts,
social activities.
I normally try to have a varied
but stable routine for children
in my care dependent upon age
and circumstances. Infancy
stage is different from when
they're a little older where we
may frequent the park and
activities held at different local
libraries for children/toddlers. I
believe in very little "TV" time
unless it's educational based as
well any daily activities...... I try
to make days into 50%
"learning" 50% "play" days. In
addition to everything else
with verifiable excellent

How to Hire a Bilingual Nanny in Los Altos, CA
Nanny Lane helps you find a bilingual nanny in Los Altos, CA who can care for your children in more than one language.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Bilingual Nanny?
A bilingual nanny speaks English and at least one other language, such as Spanish, French, Mandarin, or Portuguese, and uses both with the children. Some families want a native speaker to introduce a second language from an early age, and others need a nanny who can communicate with a relative or care for a child who speaks another language at home.
Common Responsibilities of Bilingual Nannies in Los Altos, CA
A bilingual nanny handles the usual childcare tasks, such as meals, play, outings, and routines, while speaking the second language during everyday activities. Many also read stories, sing songs, and play games in that language, so children pick it up naturally rather than from flashcards.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Decide how much of the day you want in the second language and how fluent the nanny needs to be. Ask about their background in the language and any experience helping children learn it. Fluency varies, so it helps to have part of the interview in the language. If you need a specific language, mention it in your job description so nannies can find you.
Bilingual Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which languages do you speak, and how did you learn them?
- How would you use the second language with my children during the day?
- Have you helped children learn or keep up a second language before?
- Are you comfortable speaking only in that language for part of the day?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
