A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Kelly. I enjoy working with children and have had years of experience, such as working in preschools, grade school before/after school care, babysitting/nannying, and teaching dance and improv classes. I have worked with all ages and learned a lot throughout each experience. I also am an aunt of four, ages 11, 9, 7, and 5 years old, who I have helped take care of since they were born. I enjoy the outdoors, writing, and art! I recently moved back to CA and would be happy to send my resume, if the position is still available. Thank you!

A little bit about me
Hello!
My name is Araceli Andrade Bluhm, and I’m 24 years old with 5 years of experience in childcare and nannying. 😊
I began my journey as a nanny for two years before transitioning into a preschool setting, where I’ve been working for the past three years. I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging in age from newborns to 6 years old, and with families from a wide variety of backgrounds.
Over the last two years, I’ve also gained valuable experience working with children on the autism spectrum, which has helped me develop a broad and adaptable skill set. I’m confident that these experiences could make me a strong fit for your family’s needs.
I’m currently based in Oregon but plan to relocate to the Bay Area in January 2026. At this time, I’m just beginning to explore potential opportunities and would be happy to answer any questions you might have!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warmly,
Araceli Andrade Bluhm 😊

Hello! My name is Noah and I’d love to be your child(ren)’s babysitter! I love working with children—seeing a young mind form and experience new things gives me a more optimistic outlook on the world. Although my childcare experience is limited to taking care of young family members and giving music lessons, I would love to aid your family in bringing more light and ease into you and your child’s life.

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."

Nanny Silvana
"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."
