A little bit about me
Hi!
My name is Kreea Baabahar. I have 10+ years of childcare experience under my belt. Children ages ranging from 3 months to teenage years. I love to laugh, experience the outdoors and do fun creative activities. The children I care for become like siblings to me. I do not take my role as a nanny lightly. I appreciate a family that has a good sense of humor, can communicate clearly and in a timely fashion, and are warm. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
I recently graduated from San Diego State University where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I have recently been helping out a couple that owns an event company where they both work from home with a family of 4 kids (all under the age of 7 years old). They have taught me so much and I have truly learned so much from both the children and the parents. I love helping out the family and realized how much I love being around children. I am a very happy person with a positive attitude and will make sure the child’s needs are always fulfilled. I have a very flexible schedule and am pretty much available Monday - Sunday at any time. Please message me with any questions; I am more than happy to answer any that you may have.

A little bit about me
Hey! I’m Olivia - a warm, loving nanny with over five years of experience, plus a background as an assistant teacher at a Waldorf-inspired preschool.
I love helping kids explore the world around them, whether we’re spotting birds on a walk, playing with chalk, or reading the same silly book for the tenth time. My approach is gentle, respectful, and rooted in connection.
I’ve worked with children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids, and I tailor my care to fit each child’s unique rhythm and personality. I’ve also had the chance to travel quite a bit, which has deepened my curiosity, flexibility, and love for different ways of living and learning - all of which I bring into my caregiving style.
Families describe me as intuitive, dependable, and present. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves this work and brings both heart and experience, I’d love to connect!

Nanny Hanna
"Hanna had a warm and patient approach to connect with the children of different ages.
She was supportive and encouraging of each student and trying to help them learn, interact, and build confidence.
I believe her skills and conduct will transfer well into a nanny position."

Nanny Sofi
"My kids love Sofi! Sofi is the kindest and sweetest. She helped with my kids while I had to work. I was nervous at first finding someone to trust with my kids but soon realized I had nothing to worry about with Sofi. She stared with our family when my kids were 4, 6 and 9. She formed relationships with each of my kids and took such good care for them. I highly recommend Sofi!!"
