"Lauren was a blessing for our family.
Our son had medical issues (food allergies, respiratory struggles) that were daunting for many nannies that we worked with or interviewed, but Lauren took it all in stride. With her medical background, we were able to leave our son in her care with confidence that she could handle any emergency that arose.
Beyond her medical training, she was also an incredibly engaged and loving caretaker for our son. Once Auntie Lauren walked in the door, mom and dad may as well have not existed - he only had eyes for her. She regularly came up with fun plans for the day, taking him to parks, libraries, walks around the neighborhood, etc."

A little bit about me
I’m outgoing, organized and prefer work that keeps me on my feet and multitasking! I approach all situations with patience and kindness and I hope to share this with your family. I have worked many odd jobs but what I enjoy most is childcare and inspiring children to use their creativity. It’s very important to me to diversify my perspective by listening to and learning from children. Currently, I’m looking for a live-in position with a family living in the SF Bay Area. I can change diapers, complete house/garden work, engage children in learning activities, and take on any challenge at organizing. Feel free to say hey! I can’t wait to meet you and your family!

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’m 21 and a political science student at SCU. I’m a tennis player and cat mom to two lovely little black cats, Salem and Mochi. I have experience with kids ages 2-12, and I’ve been told I’m a kid magnet; I can always get a laugh out of them. That being said, I also am great at comforting kids when they’re upset. When conflicts come up, I can be stern yet respectful towards them; I understand that they’re still human beings - just a little smaller. Kids are incredibly clever and perceptive if you give them the opportunity to speak their mind, and I don’t “baby-talk” at all. I have experience in psychology and have worked with several neurodiverse children with great success! I hope we’ll make a great fit.

A little bit about me
I’ve been a nanny for over 20 years in the Bay Area. A lot of families I worked with began in the infancy stages so I’m well versed in sleep training, potty training and developmental learning activities. I have experience working one on one with special needs children with the DIR Play based therapy. I’m extremely patient and have a very calming presence which children are drawn to. I’m also creative and encourage arts/ crafts or any creative outlet. Instilling the love of books and reading is also essential. Play and imagination are a huge part of development. I believe in consistency, structure, and communication with the family is vital. I base my caretaking style dependent on each child; I take time to really listen and pay attention to their individual needs. My number one priority is always the safety and well-being of the child. The best feedback would be from the families I’ve worked with. I’m also registered with trustline, an important factor when choosing a nanny.
