A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Yliana, your dedicated nanny committed to safety, fun, and fostering growth. With both paid and personal childcare experience, I bring a blend of professionalism and warmth to every interaction. I prioritize creating engaging environments where children can thrive and families feel at ease.
Communication and trust are paramount to me, ensuring a seamless partnership with parents. I can help in many areas; homework help, self help, imaginative play, and everything in between. I'm here to support your family's needs with enthusiasm and care.
I currently have part time availability and residing in Blue Lake and willing to travel. I would love to meet with your family to see if we would be a good fit for each other. I do have allergies to cats, so unfortunately I will not be able to attend families with these specific furry friends. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a conversation.

A little bit about me
Hello! I have been working with children and teens of all ages for the last 20 years as a nanny, preschool teacher, tutor, au pair, and youth movement camp counselor and director. I’m enthusiastic and friendly, and believe in following each unique family’s lead. I believe that children learn best through play, exploration, and following their interests. I honor feelings as they arise, supporting each child in their process of discovery.
I am also very interested in supporting families during the postpartum experience and hope to train as a postpartum doula.
I have a five year old daughter entering kindergarten so am available after drop off (after 8:45) and until 2-2:15 when I leave to pick her up at 2:30 (except Mondays early pick up at 1pm). Currently available Mondays, and Wed-Fridays. Please reach out if you need any day time support and care.
Looking forward to connecting with you.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m 23 years old and was born and raised in Trinidad, California. I grew up surrounded by children and caregiving while also doing so myself. My mom founded Moonstone Midwives Birth Center with a few of her amazing friends, so I was fortunate to grow up around wonderful caregivers and families with children of all ages. I also have three younger siblings who I’ve always been very involved with, which helped grow my love for caring for kids.
Over the last few years, I’ve been building my cosmetology business and working at Foils Beauty. While I love what I do, I’ve really missed having childcare and kid energy in my life. Now that I have more flexibility in my schedule, I’m excited to make room for something I’ve always loved. I adore connecting with kids, being part of their growth, and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them!

A little bit about me
I’ve been providing childcare for 15 years, both in homes and schools. I have a BA in Child Development from Mills College (RIP). I work from a relationship-based philosophy where individualization is key. I strive to support and care for children as they need it while honoring their unique selves. I have experience in parent coaching and coordinating with outside service providers (e.g. therapists, OT, SLP, etc.). The majority of my experience is with early childhood — however, I’ve cared for children of all ages throughout my career! I have a great deal of experience working with disabled children, neurodivergent children, and children with special needs.
