"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."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have volunteered for Tara Redwood School for K-4th,
also at Tierra Pacifica Charter for 4th-6th grades. I have 6 ECE units from Cabrillo College's Early Childhood Education program. I have several years of experience as a nanny for children from 6 mo.-6 years old.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to read books, do art projects, walking and engage in play time, going to the park, making snacks, laugh and play some more.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Expressing and relating kindness and patience to the children. Communication can be muffled by emotions they know not how to express, so my task as a caretaker is to do my best to be compassionate and understanding of their needs.

My experience with special needs children...

i have not worked with special needs childcare.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I loved having two 1 year olds eating butternut squash at the table together, one offering food to the other and listening to Miles Davis in the background.
