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.

A little bit about me
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 would be delighted to bring my positive energy, patience, and experience to care for your twins full-time.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Keren, and I’m an experienced caregiver currently completing my second year as an au pair in the U.S. I’ve worked closely with children ranging from infants to school-age, supporting their development with patience, care, and creativity.
I’m originally from Colombia, fluent in Spanish, and conversational in English. I love reading, arts and crafts, and spending time outdoors with the little ones I care for. I'm also familiar with preparing healthy meals, managing routines, and maintaining a safe and loving environment.
I’m currently based in California and will be available starting October or November 2025 for a full-time live-out nanny or family assistant position in San Francisco or nearby areas. My ideal position would be with a kind, communicative family who values respect, structure, and warmth.
