"Silvana was a very nurturing nanny. She had the difficult task of being the first nanny to care for my 6 month old son. She knew what to do and helped my son quickly overcome the separation anxiety. She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."

"Annah was reliable, flexible, creative, and trustworthy with our kids. She handles stressful situations well and appropriately. She ensured our children were safe and happy. She also helped us a great deal with our dogs when we needed to go out of town. We even tried to get her to move with us when we moved across the country. Would hire her again in a second!

A little bit about me…

My name is Marianne. I’m an RN by training. I started nannying in 2019 and have been doing so ever since. I love children! I have raised a daughter… best decision ever! I started my career in Maternity Nursing because I do enjoy taking care of babies and new families. I ended my career as a cancer treatment RN and decided to go back to my first love… babies and small children. I have multiple years experience is all aspects of baby and young children care. I also have the Maternal Care for the Post Partum period. I’m engaging, love to teach and play. Childhood development education and experience. I would say that beyond my qualifications… is the pure joy I receive and give in taking care of your little ones. I take pride in what I do. While baby is sleeping I’m proactive in keeping common areas clean, wash, fold and put away babies clothes. Keep the nursery organized and stocked as you desire.
Take babies to the park and stroll if you desire. That’s me. Tell me about you and you.

A little bit about me…

(Condensed version due to 1000 word limit)…

Hello, I’m Vanessa! Proud Mom of two! My daughter, 13 yrs. and my son, 12. Both attend Mission Hill Middle school. A few months ago, the rent went up and we were forced to move back to San Jose. I continue to commute my children to and from San Jose to Santa Cruz everyday for school and because I am unemployed at the moment and gas prices are ridiculous, I spend my time in the area while waiting for my kids to finish school so that I am not having to make multiple trips back and forth. My availability is 9am-2pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and 9am-12pm / 12:30pm on Wednesdays. It’s been so difficult to find a position that works around my Children’s school schedule. I am a genuine, honest, loyal, loving and kind person and as I am all of these things to my own children, I would not be any less to yours! I do appreciate your time and consideration and hope to speak with you soon.

Kind Regards,
Vanessa (Ness) Carson
