A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Julie and I’m an experienced, CPR/First Aid certified nanny living in Walnut Creek, CA. I’m looking for a part-time or full-time nanny or babysitter position. I have experience caring for children in hotel recreation programs (Hilton Hotels), private babysitting for a 4-year-old girl (reference available), and volunteer work with children in Canada.

I’m originally from Brazil, with a degree in Dentistry and a background in Pediatric Dentistry, which gave me deep knowledge of children’s development and care. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and working with kids has always been my passion.

I’m loving, reliable, creative, and committed to creating a safe and fun environment where children feel happy, secure, and supported.

Feel free to message me — I’d love to connect and see how I can help your family!

"I’m writing to wholeheartedly recommend Julie as a babysitter. She cared for my youngest daughter with such kindness, patience, and responsibility that we quickly came to see her as part of the family. Julie consistently demonstrated excellent judgment, was always punctual, and communicated clearly with us. She engaged my daughter in creative, age-appropriate play, handled routines smoothly, and was attentive to both her physical and emotional needs. I always felt at ease knowing my child was in her care. She is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys working with children, qualities that make her a true gem. We were sad to see her go, but any family would be lucky to have her! Please feel free to reach out if you’d like more details about our experience. Paula D."

A little bit about me

Hi there, I have over 10 years of experience. My native language is Spanish but fluent in English. I worked in a daycare in Colombia, I was au pair for 4 years (almost 5) where I had the opportunity to care of two girls aged 2 and 4, and in the following three years, I cared for teenagers aged 9, 12, and 14. This experience helped me learn how to handle different stages of child development and adapt to each child's needs. I've also provided weekend and occasional care for many families, which has expanded my experience across a wide age range I have a CPR and two certifications in Early Childhood Mental Development and Emotional Intelligence in Early Childhood, which allows me to provide responsible and comprehensive care, considering the physical, emotional, and cognitive needs of the children.

A little bit about me

My name is Asia and I love caring for children. I used to work at a daycare and caring for children is something I enjoy doing. I know how to adjust to each child since its child is different and requires special and unique care. I’m very engaging, attentive, fun, and creative. I love doing arts and crafts, tutoring, learning, and movie nights. Each child I’ve cared for teaches me something that I take with me when I leave their home. They’ve had a major impact on my life and I hope to make an impact on their life.
