Providing Portola Valley CA Nannies

“My name is Adriana, and I come from Colombia. Currently residing in California, I am actively seeking a nanny position within a wonderful family. I possess extensive experience in caring for children of various age groups, and I also have a fondness for animals. If I were asked to provide one sentence explaining why I have chosen the nanny profession over any other, it would be due to my positive experience as an Au-Pair. I have been dedicating my time to childcare for over 3 years and can confidently say that I genuinely enjoy what I do. In addition to childcare, I am also open to performing light household tasks such as laundry, vacuuming, and general tidying. If I were to describe myself using five adjectives, they would be trustworthy, honest, hardworking, outgoing, and loving. As for the daily activities I would incorporate into the family's routine, they would include walking, arranging playdates, reading, engaging in arts and crafts, dancing, and swimming. When envisioning the ideal family seeking a nanny like myself, I envision individuals who are loving, caring, and respectful.”

“I am a highly dependable individual and a diligent worker, and I thoroughly enjoy taking care of children, which is why I have chosen to pursue a career as a nanny. With over four years of experience in childcare, I can confidently say that I genuinely love what I do. I view children as precious gifts and my aim as a nanny is to provide the utmost care and support to the family I work for. Apart from looking after the children, I am also willing to assist with housekeeping tasks, help with homework, provide transportation to and from activities, accompany the child to doctor visits, and prepare meals. To describe myself, I would say that I am charismatic, intelligent, honest, hardworking, and a well-rounded individual.

The ideal family I envision working for would be loving, fun-filled, and deeply committed to the well-being of their children.”

Annette's almost twenty years of nanny experience qualified her to be a part of ABC's Portola Valley Nanny Agency.

“I was raised in London but moved to America in 1987. I'm married and have a daughter. For the past 18 years, I have been working as a nanny, and it's the only job where I feel I can truly make a difference in a child's life. Being around children brings me great joy and I consider myself to be calm, organized, and responsible, always knowing when to take initiative. The reason I have chosen to be a nanny over any other profession is because I appreciate the opportunity to give individual attention to the child and family I work for. I believe that children are precious and deserve love and nurturing. As a nanny, my goal is to provide a stable and loving environment for the child I care for, while also making the parents' lives a little easier. I am also willing to assist with housekeeping tasks like laundry, keeping bedrooms and play areas tidy, meal preparation, and doing the dishes. In terms of activities, I would love to incorporate story time, outings, reading books, play dates, and trips to the playground into the daily routine of the family I work with. If I were to describe the ideal family seeking a nanny like myself, I would hope they are honest and open in their communication, willing to address any concerns they may have. Thank you for considering my application.”

“I am a highly energetic, responsible, and compassionate individual who adores children. I am capable of keeping up with anyone and anything. Coming from a tight-knit family where children are the priority, I have grown up with a deep appreciation for young ones. Currently, I am a dedicated nanny to my nine and a half month old nephew, a role I have embraced since his birth in late November 2008. Although I briefly pursued a career in the corporate world, I quickly realized that my true passion lies in working with children. My ultimate goal is to provide exceptional care and create a strong bond with a remarkable child, imparting my knowledge and nurturing them to the best of my abilities. If asked to summarize why I chose the nanny profession, it would be because my life's purpose revolves around being around children and facilitating their learning and growth. Having had a supportive upbringing with wonderful siblings, I yearn for the opportunity to be that person for someone else. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I can confidently say that I am immensely passionate about my work. Children, in my eyes, are the most incredible beings on this planet. As a nanny, my aspiration is to enrich their lives, foster their appreciation for themselves and others, and facilitate their learning journey. I am more than willing to assist with household chores such as laundry, meal preparation, and tutoring. In terms of daily activities, I would love to incorporate learning and tutoring sessions, as well as outdoor and physical activities that align with the parents' desires for their child. The ideal family seeking a nanny like me would be one that is loving and caring, welcoming me as a part of their family and allowing me to support them in any way possible. I aim to be a role model for their children and a close friend to the parents, providing assistance in every capacity.”
