Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Los Altos, CA: Serina L.

"Thave known Serina for over a decade now, and anyone who has met her would easily say how honest, dependable, flexible, accommodating, and loving she truly is! I met her through the preschool I sent my child at before, she was working there as a teacher's aid. My two year old son was in her class and every morning we would arrive, Serina would greet us with a warm smile and wide open arms for a big hug for my son! I would stand back and watch some at how he interacted with him, as well as how she interacted with all the other children, and I was amazed at how she put all the kids at ease, especially the ones who were upset their parents had left. She made sure that each child felt heard, seen, and cared for and that was with 18 kids in the class and only one other teacher! She is a gem and with how much my son loved her, I knew I needed to ask her to help outside the preschool. She did date nights for my husband and I, helped care for our cat Bubbles, and even offered to run errands!"

"Serina was with my family for the last 2 years and I WOULD rehire her in a heartbeat! she took care of my four year old and became family. She is such a loving, flexible, trustworthy, and honest person. I've sometimes overpaid on accident, but she would tell me and send that money back right away. I would have kept her longer except we moved out of state, unlucky for us! Any family would be lucky to have her care for their little one!"

"I WOULD rehire Serina over and over again, if given the chance! Words don't even do justice to how professional she is, how empathetic, intuitive in knowing what the child needs, and meeting that need, as well as being proactive about seeing what tasks would help me as a parents and completing it which lightened my load. My youngest child was a preemie which was a tough time for my family, but she was right there supportive in any way we needed. She has worked for me since 2013 in many capacities, I would not have kept her so long had she not been such a great communicator, an engaging nanny with my kids, professional, and receptive to feedback on things I wanted done a specific way or collaborating to figure out the best way for everyone involved. She is part of our family now and my kids always ask for her!"

"I am delighted to write on behalf of Serina Lucas. I can assure you with the utmost confidence that Serina will be an outstanding and caring partner in the care of your child(ren). Isabella absolutely loved their time together, but also didn't lack in structure in places where we felt it was important to maintain our family values and boundaries — all things that we felt were respectfully and mindfully supported throughout her time with us. Serina is intelligent, caring, and relentlessly reliable. She is a great communicator, which was important to us with demanding work schedules and the occasional need for flexibility - and something we cared deeply about having as an active role model for Isabella and now Oliver. Serina has seen us through many transitions such as being new parents, Covid closures, reopening after Covid, new jobs for us that required greater flexibility and adaptability, and a cross-country move that then transitioned her to a live-in nanny since moving to Texas."
