Part-Time Nanny Available in Berkeley, CA: Francessca V.

"Francessca cared for my daughter as part of a nanny share for one year, from 6 months to 18 months old. During that time, she was reliable, engaging, loving, and communicative with both nanny share babies and our families. I always felt confident that my daughter was safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. Francessca built a strong bond with the children. I’m grateful for the care she provided our family and would highly recommend her to others."

"Francessca is such a special nanny. She started working with our family when my daughter was 8 months old, and from the very beginning she brought so much warmth and love into our home. I was nervous about the idea of someone new caring for my baby, but Francessca made the transition feel easy. She was so playful and nurturing, always singing songs, reading books, and engaging She was also incredibly responsible and communicative. I always felt in the loop about feedings, naps, and how the day had gone. As my daughter got older, we brought in another child for a nanny share, and Francessca handled the shift seamlessly. As a mom of twins herself, she really knows how to care for two babies at once. Francessca is the kind of caregiver who just gets babies and young children. She has a gentle, intuitive way of tuning in to what each child needs. She is a loving, dependable, and incredibly experienced caregiver. Any family would be so so lucky to have her."

"We employed Francessa as part of a nanny share when the babies were 6 months old through 18 months. She was a wonderful nanny- always singing, dancing, and coming up with creative activities. The babies adored her, as did we. She is very attentive, honest, trust-worthy, dependable, on-time, and easy to communicate with. She is also a baby whisperer- we had two difficult nappers and not only was she always successful at putting them down, but she managed to get them both to nap in the same room. We were very grateful to have her in our lives."

"Francessca was an absolutely wonderful nanny. We always felt our daughter was safe and incredibly well cared for with her. We especially loved that Francessca was: Active and engaging: She regularly took our daughter on walks to the park and library; Artistic: Our daughter's love for drawing blossomed because Francessca consistently drew with her; Encouraged learning: Francessca's passion for reading and singing inspired our daughter's own love for books and music (she also taught our daughter Spanish!); Warm and energetic: She brought a wonderful, positive presence to our home. To this day, we call her to babysit when she’s available (we moved to Walnut Creek and she still helps us) because we miss her so much! Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her!"
