Nanny Kaila

2 years experience

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kaila, I’m 19 and a student at College of Marin.

I’ve been caring for children since age 10, when I helped with a 3-year-old and her newborn sister. Since then, I’ve developed a natural ability to connect with kids and create a safe, fun environment.

I’m most comfortable working with toddlers and older children (not infants/newborns). I enjoy staying active, cooking, and keeping kids engaged. I’m also happy to help with meal prep and light cleaning.

I have a driver’s license and my own car for transportation.

I grew up in a multicultural household with a single Venezuelan parent. I don’t speak Spanish fluently but understand a little.

I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy taking care of others. I’d love to support a family that needs reliable help—feel free to reach out with any questions!

Looking forward to connecting :)

Nanny Reina

3 years experience

A little bit about me

I have hands on experience as a full-time nanny, caring for my almost 3 year old son, along with my 4 year-old nephew and 5 year old niece. Balancing the needs of three energetic children has given me a deep understanding of child development, patience, and creative problem solving. From planning engaging activities that support learning and growth to handling mealtimes, naps, and daily routines, I’ve created a safe, loving, and structured environment where each child feels nurtured and supported. This experience has strengthened my multitasking skills and deepened my passion for working with children.
