A little bit about me

7My name is Dora.
I worked as nanny 3 years for two very nice families; one in Danville, California, and another one in Mount Clair Oakland for 2 years.From [phone number hidden].I worked in Orinda for another family, took care of a newborn and 2 years old little girls. I have been working in the medical field for the past 20 years, and now I’m looking to do something that gives me also joy, and nothing better than see a child growing and learning, as I’ve done it before and really enjoyed.
Im moving back to California from San Antonio Texas, and would like very much to find a family that I could be a great helper taking care of their child.I do have great references, and confidence that you won’t regret to have me as your child’s nanny.More information upon request.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dora Edwards

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lucy. I’m a caring, dependable nanny with two years of experience working with young children, including special needs students, and I currently work at an elementary school supporting children with diverse needs. I love creating fun, engaging days by planning local outings like parks, walks, zoos, and other hands-on adventures.

I’m one of the oldest in a loving family of seven kids, and I strongly value supporting healthy family relationships and reinforcing parents’ preferences and routines. I’m also a big advocate for limiting screen time and encouraging real-life experiences, outdoor play, creativity, and curiosity.

I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, simple meals, and keeping things organized. I love the outdoors, working out, traveling, and animals, and I strive to bring patience, kindness, and reliability to every family I work with.

A little bit about me

I am a recent college graduate with a degree in design and experience working with children ages 4-12. In addition to babysitting, I have worked in after-school childcare settings supporting groups of 40+ children, where I helped facilitate safe, structured, and engaging activities. I am CPR and First Aid certified and prioritize creating a supportive environment where children can thrive. I enjoy guiding children through hands-on activities in the arts and STEM, and encouraging curiosity through creative, interactive play. My background in design strengthens my ability to plan experiences that are both fun and developmentally supportive. I am organized, reliable, have my own transportation, and bring a calm, empathetic presence when working with children and families.
