A little bit about me

Experienced, loving, and professional nanny available in Aug/Sept 2026!

My name is Lisa and I’ve been caring for children in the Bay Area for over 25 years. I have experience with children from newborns to tweens.

I am a loving, creative caregiver, and always provide a safe and stimulating environment for the children in my care.

I am currently caring for an 18-month little one, but the family’s schedule will be changing mid-August, so I’m looking for a new family!

Please reach out if you would like to talk and see if we are a good match! I can provide references upon request!

"Lisa’s been our daughter’s nanny for a year and we feel beyond lucky to have found her. As first time parents we were so overwhelmed with everything to consider when selecting a nanny. Lisa is caring, kind, funny and has largely contributed to our toddler’s language skills, confidence and love for the outdoors! Lisa has been an integral part of our family for a year - our 1.5 year old loves her so much, and we find ourselves supported as if a trusted family member was with her. Lisa is knowledgeable, a true professional, never on her phone, and treating our child with respect and genuine love. We’ve had parents at playgrounds approach us to say how amazing Lisa is with our daughter. Lisa brings a ton of knowledge to the table without forcing anything on you (she would adjust to your style) and doesn’t flinch at any challenges - hard naps, transition to solids, crawling to walking transitions, etc. I highly recommend Lisa. Any family will be lucky to have her in their corner!"

"Darius is our first child, and Lisa met us where we were when he was 3 months old. Over the last three months she's become an integral part of our family, introducing Darius to age-appropriate activities along the way: tummy time, reading books, sitting/standing practice, etc, in addition to the mundane activities of childcare (feeding, burping, changing diapers). Lisa is attentive and caring to Darius' needs, offers suggestions gleaned from her years of experience but asks what we'd like for Darius and follows through. We couldn't recommend Lisa more highly!"

"Lisa is an amazing nanny and I cannot recommend her enough. As a first time mom, I was nervous about finding a nanny I could trust to care for my 4 month old son. Lisa is trustworthy, kind, patient, communicative, and flexible in her care for my son. He is high energy and she kept up with his personality and found ways to keep him engaged, even indoors during summer heat. My son had a difficult time transitioning to a bottle, and Lisa stayed consistent and relaxed on the hard days. There were many changes to nap schedules, feeding schedules, etc and Lisa was flexible and accommodating with every update. She asked questions to make sure she was following through correctly. She became part of the village that helped raise my son through the most fundamental time. I feel so blessed that Lisa was the nanny for my son and I would not hesitate to have her back. If you are considering hiring Lisa, you’ve found someone you can trust wholeheartedly with the most precious person in your life."
