Full-time Nanny available Please let me introduce myself -- my name is Marilyn. I am a dedicated family assistant with 12 years of professional nanny experience. I specialize in caring for children of all ages. I keep in contact with all of my former charges and have maintained a wonderful bond with each of them. I am very active and enjoy getting my charges out for daily adventures around the Peninsula and take full advantage of what the Bay area has to offer. I am very familiar with all the child friendly activities and classes in the Peninsula and have no problem arranging a fun and balanced day for children in my care. I can easily entertain and engage children with books, tech, singing, talking and playing on the floor with them. I have excellent judgment as well and rely on my years of experience as a counselor to adjust my care to meet a child's growing needs. I am very knowledgeable about child development and have been instrumental in helping my charges meet their developmenta
Marilyn has been our nanny since our little one was just 6 months old, and I truly could not have asked for a better partner in caring for our daughter (especially as a first-time mom). From the very first time we met, Marilyn had a way of making me feel completely at ease. She has this incredible soothing, calming presence, and she immediately formed such a special connection with our daughter (and with us!). From day one, I knew our little one was in loving, capable, and caring hands. Marilyn has played such a meaningful role in our daughter’s development. She has helped her become more social and confident, encouraged her curiosity, and introduced her to new experiences and things to learn every single day. I especially love receiving the little videos and end-of-day updates about what they discovered or explored together. Those glimpses into their days together have meant so much to us and have allowed us to see just how much joy and love she brings into our daughter’s life. What stands out most about Marilyn is the love and genuine care she gives. She doesn’t simply “watch” our daughter, she is truly present with her. She knows her personality, notices the little things, celebrates her milestones, comforts her when she needs it, and makes every day feel fun and special. We feel incredibly lucky that Marilyn has been such an important part of our family. The laughter, joy, warmth, and love she has brought into our home are something I will always be grateful for. Leaving your baby with someone else is one of the hardest things to do as a new parent, and Marilyn gave me complete peace of mind. I truly cannot recommend her enough. Any family would be extraordinarily lucky to have Marilyn care for their little one. She has been so much more than our nanny, she has become someone we will always remember as a very special part of our daughter’s childhood and our family’s story.
