A little bit about me

Hi families! My name is Kate, and I’m an experienced nanny with several years of caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked as both a part-time and full-time nanny, and I currently support a family in the Poway area until the school year ends. I’m reliable, patient, and very hands-on. I love creating fun activities, helping with routines, and supporting kids’ growth and independence. I’m now looking for a stable long-term position starting in June with a family who values communication, kindness, and a consistent schedule. I’m comfortable with meal prep, light housekeeping related to the children, school pickups, and planning developmentally-appropriate activities. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!

A little bit about me

Hi I’m Olivia! I am 24 years old and love to nanny anytime I can! I’ve cared for kids from as young as 3 months old to 13 years old and every where in between. I used to work teaching gymnastics classes, so I’m very active and am up for a challenge. I also come from a family of 7 so I’m pretty accustomed to chaos ;) I have plenty of experience and references along with my own car so I can provide my own transportation. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
