I really love kids, especially newborns. As a nurse, I have some experience in that field. I am a registered nurse in Chile and here in CA. I am a medical assistant. I successfully raised my three children and babysat newborns too. I would like to take care of other kids as my own, because I strongly believe that your real treasure in this world are your children.

Sara is wonderful & we absolutely feel so lucky to have found her! She put my anxious mind at ease as I returned to work. I truly feel that she genuinely cares for our little one & her experience is second to none.

Where can begin, Sara was responsive and amazing from the start. We have and a 3-month-old and from the Bay area and had planned a trip to Disneyland. We were in need of someone helping my mother-in-law out taking care of the baby at the hotel since my mother-in-law was not able to help with her disabilities. Sara was amazing from the moment she came in and rocked our baby to sleep with ease. We had no complaints from my mother-in-law since she is overprotective of the child.  Thank you for Sara for your amazing service and we will always try to book you first!

We would absolutely hire Sara again if we have another baby. She is 100% reliable and trustworthy. She was with our baby girl from 4 months to 16 months old. We trusted Sara 100% with her health and safety. She was incredibly patient with our daughter who was colic and has always been a very fussy and active child. She was very loving and showed so much compassion. She was on time every single day, followed any care instructions we gave and always kept us very informed about each day. Having a background as a nurse was very conforming as well. We are so lucky to have met Sara and to have her come into our lives and our home to help raise our little girl. We would absolutely recommend her!

Sara cared for our daughter for over a year between the age of 6 months to 2 years old. She was kind, compassionate, and always kept our daughter engaged with books and activities. We very much appreciated her time with our daughter.

Sara provided amazing care for our new born baby boy. Sara tool care of our son for 40+ hours a week from the time he was 3 months old until he was one year. Our baby was happy to see her every morning. Sara kept great notes as far as his naps, feedings, diaper changes etc, which was very helpful because our baby had a bad case of colic and reflux. Sara was always on time and consistent in her approach. We can't say enough good things about Sara. 

We interviewed Sara earlier this month for a nanny position for our 5 months old girl. Sara was kind, very well prepared, punctual, organized and respectful. Unfortunately for us she already interviewed with another family and had her trial day with them. It was a pleasure to meet her.

Sara is amazing! Our baby was 5 months old when Sara starting caring for her.  She is fantastic with babies- extremely knowledgeable, skillful, and loving. Sara's nursing background shows in the level of detail she provides in the care for our baby. She is a tremendous help to our family (including our pups). Knowing Sara is taking care of our baby we have been able to go back to work without worry. Sara is always on time and is flexible with our baby's schedule.  Throughout the entire day, Sara is actively engaged with our baby- reading, playing, teaching.  I cannot say enough good things about Sara!

Sara provided care for our baby boy, R., from when he was four months old to nearly 10 months old. R. loves Sara and gets really excited every time he sees her (and vice versa which was great to see and feel as a new mom who felt guilty having to leave her baby). She took wonderful care of R., reading to him often, playing with him, and taking him out for long strolls. My husband and I also joke that she's the baby whisperer because R. took the best and longest naps with her, I think it was because he felt so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Sara for your baby care needs!

Sara was amazing with my 7 week old! As a first time mom I was nervous with anyone caring for my baby, but Sara quickly made me feel at ease. She came over promptly, professionally and fragrance free. She talked to the baby often and kept a timeline of feedings and diaper changes. You can tell she really knows her stuff when it comes to newborns as I'm sure with all ages. I would definitely recommend hiring Sara for child care! 

We are so grateful to have had Sara as a part of our family. We hired her when our daughter was 3 months old. Sara quickly developed a close bond with our baby. She kept a daily log of all of our daughter's activities (diaper changes, naps, playtime) and checked in with us during the day to give us an update on how our daughter's day was going. 

Sara was able to provide great insight through her professional and personal experience, which was incredibly helpful for us as first-time parents. She was respectful of our parenting style and never once complained about our cloth diaper preference. 

She sang, read, danced and played with our daughter every day. She talked our daughter through things like diaper changes, food preparation, turning on music, and looking out the window at the birds in the trees. The repetition and routine Sara established really helped our daughter to make connections and learn so much in the short amount of time she was with us. 

Sara was always here on time, if not early, each morning and was able to work around our changing schedules. She was very thoughtful and tried to help us with anything and everything. For example, she would leave a bottle or baby food ready to go for me to feed our daughter during the few hours I was alone with her until my wife was home from work. During naps, Sara would help with our daughter's laundry, unload the dishwasher, and tidy up the living room and our daughter's bedroom. 

We loved her so much - even our dogs loved her! We wish we could keep her forever, but unfortunately we had to let her go after my wife lost her job. Sara is professional, thoughtful, loving, and trustworthy. Your family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

Sara was our nanny for one year starting when our son was 6 months old. I had to go back to work at that time and I was not comfortable leaving him at a daycare, partly because he was a rather difficult and demanding baby and I didn't feel he would get the attention he needed. Sara was absolutely wonderful with him and I couldn't have asked for someone better. She is truly a caring and loving person who treated him like her own son. Although it was still hard to leave him, I felt much better knowing he was with someone who could love him and be there for him like I would. Her experience both as a mom herself and having prior nanny experience was so helpful for me as a first-time mom.  She was very receptive to doing things the way I wanted them done, but at the same time was a great resource for bouncing ideas off and asking for help.  Not only did she take care great care of our son, but would also find time during his naps to help around the house, which was a huge help since my husband and I both work full time. She took care of all of our son's laundry, emptied the dishwasher, and vacuumed daily (we have a German shepherd that sheds A LOT), so this was very helpful, especially during the crawling stage. Sara is such a loving and patient person who worked really hard to make sure our son was happy and healthy and to also make things as easy as possible for us.  She became an important part of our family and I am so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her.

Sara is a great nanny. Her past experiences in being a mother, a nurse, and a nanny make her uniquely qualified to nanny for anyone. Our son was 6 months old when we hired Sara on. Our son became instantly attached to her and her style is very natural. She does not overstep her boundaries if you provide guidance about how things should be done. She helped us ween our son from the bottle to solid foods. She helped set up regular meal schedules and playtime schedules. Our son has always been a difficult sleeper and she was there to help him transition to normal sleep habits as well. Sara would make a great addition to any family. That's what she is, an extension of family because you're entrusting your young one(s) to her. She has so much energy it was amazing to see her keep up with our very very active son. She worked for us for 12 months when we decided to socialize our son at daycare. Hiring Sara would be a decision you won't regret. We didn't.

Sara worked for us for a year taking care of our daughter (4mo-16mo).  I remember searching for a caregiver and being so worried we would not find someone competent, kind, or trustworthy.  In addition, I am quite picky.  Not only am I a pediatrician but my mom studied early childhood education and pushed much of her philosophy onto me.  Fortunately, we found Sara.    

On a personal level Sara is a genuine, kind-hearted person and our daughter adored her.  She is respectful of each individual including children.  Her family and children (3, now grown) share the same love of life and people.

In addition, we trust Sara implicitly. My husband and I both work full-time. When our daughter turned one year we started her in a home-based Montessori program.  Sara picked her up from school and brought her back to our home. She was always reliable, timely, and flexible with our crazy schedules. 

When it comes to children our daughter has not been the easiest.  She had terrible reflux up until a year of age.  Sara handled this with ease.  She also taught our daughter Spanish, read to her, and played other age-appropriate educational games. When our daughter was napping she kept our house tidy.  

We were so fortunate to find Sara.  Unfortunately, our work schedules are such that we had to transition our daughter into a daycare setting.  However, we would have had liked Sara to stay with our family forever had we been able to do so.  We hope she finds the perfect family - you will be so lucky to have her! I give her my highest recommendation.
