A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Paola and I have over 5 years of experience in the childcare field. I simply love children and enjoy helping them learn and grow at every stage of their young lives. My strengths as a nanny are that I am very responsible, reliable and caring person. I am excellent at making super fun (healthy) snacks for children!. As a nanny I like to look for different kid’s activities or things to do around their neighborhood, for example story time or music class are great ways to change the park routine, I also like to organize play dates so this can help develop their social skills cause basically kids learn through play and finally and most importantly I make sure they are safe and have fun!
I’m also familiar with the Montessori method and baby led weaning!
I hope to hear from you soon and if you have any questions you can TEXT me at [phone number hidden]:)

"My kids loved spending time with Paola, she’s very creative and they always had a lot of fun. I knew I can trust Paola and focus on my work when she took great care of my babies. Never had any issues regarding her work, my kids didn’t want her to leave when I was coming back home. If you have any questions I’m happy to answer (either call or email julita.v.przybyl@gmail.com). She did great and I definitely recommend her as a nanny. I truly miss her working for my family!"

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Angelica Rokas. I’m currently a student in school to become a Registered Nurse with a BSN. I recently moved here to the Bay Area. I believe that the most important duty in life is to learn and grow, so I am passionate in fostering the growth of the youth today.

I offer babysitting for a wide range of ages and children, whether it’s driving kids to afterschool extracurriculars, tending for a baby, playing games, tutoring in a variety of subjects (math and science are my specialties), etc. Aside from babysitting, I tutored a number of my peers in high school and now in college. Most importantly, with children, I like to teach them proper etiquette and manners that they can carry throughout their lives. I’ve watched over children of all ages, starting from infancy to middle school ages. I enjoy cooking and baking for children, enriching them with healthy snacks and meals that are nutritious yet delicious. I have my license and a car, making a necessary travel pursuits possible.

A little bit about me

I find great joy in caregiving and entertaining, especially because it’s a mutual exchange—I’m entertained by the children, and I’m fully engaged with them.

I pride myself on being kind, caring, responsible, and energetic, and I’m dedicated to hard work. Spending time with kids brings me immense happiness, and I’m also known for my meticulous cleanliness. Meal prep and cooking are among my strengths.

Currently, I work for a wonderful family, including a professional athlete (MLB pitcher), although my full-time position is transitioning into part-time work.

I’m actively seeking a full-time position, backed by over five years of experience and outstanding references. I’m open to travel and occasional weekend work, excellent driving skills. I adapt quickly and love spending time outdoors, particularly enjoying hiking and various outdoor activities.
