Meet college nannies and sitters from Saint Mary's College of California

Hi! My name is Jenn and my life's passion and talent is working with children! First, a bit about my experience with kids: I'm a seasoned parent to 22 and 16 year olds who are turning into caring, conscientious and responsible adults who are excellent students with incredible work ethic. I'm proud of raising these two as a single parent! I currently work as a middle school teacher. Prior to that, I ran my own childcare business in my home for toddlers. It was pure joy to work with my little learners and the whole family to create a happy, warm, safe, nurturing environment for them to grow, learn and play! I hold a CA teaching credential and I have taught elementary and middle school grades full time and have subbed K-12. I have the gift of natural attunement to children and connect with them easily and joyfully. I also have the rare ability to work effectively with babies through high school students. I am highly intuitive about children's feelings and needs and I respond sensitively and appropriately. Children simply bring out the best in me! I have an upbeat personality, a playful sense of humor, and children trust me and connect with me easily and with joy. I love discovering/encouraging what interests children have and designing activities or finding books that match their interests. I particularly love helping children connect with nature, both in spending time outdoors and in projects using natural materials. If there is the opportunity, I like to bring these interests to my babysitting work and I also have a huge collection of children's literature and bring books with me to my sits. Further, I am highly experienced in working with children from all backgrounds, cultures and special needs, including autism. Since I've taught early elementary and middle school, I can help with homework if needed. I use a positive discipline approach with my own children and the children I work with. I'm adept at teaching social and emotional skills and I love helping children learn how to communicate and to understand and express their feelings to others including working out conflict as necessary. About myself, I have an abundance of things I love to do, which include healthy cooking, knitting, making jewelry, photography, book club, reading, writing, my pets, and Bay Area fun with my kids! I look forward to working with your family!

Hi! I'm Michelle. I have been babysitting and working with kids for most of my life! :) I have been a camp counselor, run my own daycare, tutored, and have worked in elementary schools. I get so much joy from being around kids and find it so rewarding to help them learn and grow. I 've worked with children of all ages - it's something that I have always been naturally drawn to and good at but I have also picked up lots of helpful tips and tricks along the way. Look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Angelica! I’m a recent college graduate of Saint Mary’s and a longtime caregiver based in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset. I’ve worked with children ages 1-16 as a babysitter, tutor, youth summer camp leader, and older sister, and I genuinely love helping kids learn, grow, and have fun. Parents describe me as reliable, patient, energetic, and easy to communicate with. Whether we’re working on homework, doing arts and crafts, baking, playing sports, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and supported. One of my favorite parts of childcare is getting kids out and about and creating fun experiences together. I love exploring San Francisco and am happy to take children on age-appropriate outings to places like the Academy of Sciences, the San Francisco Zoo, local parks, playgrounds, beaches, libraries, museums, and other community activities. I enjoy helping kids stay active, curious, and engaged while making lasting memories. A few things families appreciate about me: ✓ CPR certified for infants, children, and adults ✓ Clean driving record with experience transporting children to school, camps, sports, playdates, and activities ✓ Experience caring for children ages 1-16 ✓ Comfortable helping with homework and educational activities ✓ Happy to assist with light household tasks, errands, meal prep, and pet care ✓ Fully vaccinated I understand that every family has different needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach to best support your household. Whether you need a dependable sitter for date nights, after-school pickups, weekend activities, occasional babysitting, or part-time care, I’d love to help. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello! My name is Audrey, I am a secondary school teacher based in London, and I am looking for occasional babysitting work while I am home for the summer. I have a masters of science in education from the University of Pennsylvania, five years teaching experience, and many more years experience babysitting and working as a camp counselor. I have experience with all ages from three months and above. I also have experience working with children with autism, ADHD, medical needs and children learning English. I would love to spend the day with your child/children! Please reach out if you have any questions. Please note that I do not drive and I will be taking the bus.

Hi Folks! My name is Diamond and I am a bay area native. Although I currently work in the legal field, my passion and love for caring for children tend to take over my evenings and weekends. I have over fifteen years of experience with children as I transitioned from a young sitter, to daycare employee, to personal family nanny for multiple families while in college. I am well versed with children ranging from newborn to teenagers. I currently work/serve as a Special Court Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected foster youths in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2019. Many of the children that I've cared for have become like family, I believe in treating others how I would want to be treated or how I would want my own children to be treated. I take into account and note all guidelines that parents would like followed whether it be electronic use time or food restrictions due to diet or allergies. I pride myself on being an individual that parents can not only trust but want around their children in their absence.

Hi! I’m a loving and experienced nanny who has cared for children of all ages over the last 20+ years. I’m a nurturer by nature who has always enjoyed caring for children. I’m also a proud mom. I have a stepson in college and my daughter and son are 15 and 14 years old. Additionally, I taught 3rd grade for a few years before having my own children. I’ve been blessed to have worked for many amazing families over the years and I always form a close bond with them. I can’t even count the amount of children I’ve been so lucky to have loved and watched grow up. There is something so beautiful about seeing the world through the eyes of a child and helping them grow and explore the world around them. I’m patient, fun, empathetic, warm, kind, friendly, easy going, competent, communicative, and trustworthy. While I am comfortable caring for a child at any age, I especially enjoy the little ones- babies, toddlers, and young kids. I always have, and being a mom of early teens now, I especially often miss those baby days, although I remember how hard it can be too, so I empathize with parents. My children are my life and greatest joy, and I always treat other children as if they are my own. Parents are a child’s first teacher so I am very respectful and responsive to the parents’ wishes. Currently, I’m looking for my next wonderful family to connect with. I’m particularly interested in 20-30 hours/week. I’m CPR/FirstAid certified and also happy to provide references if needed. Looking forward to finding the right fit. 😊

My name's Esther, I’ve been nannying for 6 years and even worked as a preschool teachers assistant for 3 years, and caregiving for 4 years. I am currently working on getting my certification in Behavioral Therapy. I am born and raised here in the Bay Area and come from a big family of 6 siblings. Being one of the eldest in my family, taking care of others has always came natural. I have a sweet baby boy of my own named Benjamin, who is my entire world. I love being a mom, wife, older sister, and a fun aunty but most importantly being a helpful caregiver to all. I have 5+ years of experience with children of all ages and 4+ years with seniors. I enjoy building long lasting relationships with families and have a lot of repeating families that I still keep in contact with today. I am very compassionate, patient, and excited in what I do to help families. I have references when asked and would love to chat about what your needs are! As you may notice, I don't have any reviews as I am new to the app but not to the caregiving life! Thanks for reading, I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Hi! I'm Ana. I’m a warm, attentive caregiver originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and now based in Houston. I'm currently available for the summer. I currently work with children ages 2–4 at a small academy, in the heights where I teach Spanish and art in a nurturing, play-based environment. I also have experience teaching English as a Second Language to children ages 3–12, including working with Japanese families, which has helped me develop strong communication skills and cultural sensitivity. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Adolescent Psychology from Saint Mary’s College of California. I love creating a calm, engaging space where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn through play, creativity, and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and very mindful of each child’s unique personality and needs. I’m happy to help with age-appropriate activities, light learning, bed time routines, and potty training. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your child. I look forward to work with you . Ana

Hi everyone! My name is Francesca and I’m currently a full time graduate student looking to work closer to my school with a more flexible schedule. I currently go to school for psychology in a dual masters program for MFT/LPC and forensic psychology. I also work with children 11-17 years old that struggle with their mental health that also have various medical conditions which helps provide me knowledge and experience when it comes to medical emergencies. Not only am I BLS certified, but both of my parents are also nurses so I’ve been around medical knowledge for a very long time. I love working with children of all ages and enjoy cleaning, cooking, and taking care of others. I have experience with kids of all ages from 3 months old to 17 years old. My babysitting experience started when I was 16 years old and began in the family. I took care of my baby cousins who were 8 months old and 6 years old. The 8 month old baby boy is also autistic which taught me so much patience and understanding at such a young age which I continued to grow and develop these skills. The most recent family I was a babysitter for moved to Texas a couple years ago but the children in my care were 18 months old and 4 years old. I was with the family for 3 years but within those years, it has taught me so much and brought so much joy into my life. Activities I enjoy doing are teaching children new skills, tutoring for school, and playing games with kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Working in my current job has also taught me many new arts and crafts skills that I enjoy teaching and sharing with others. When it comes to senior care, I only have experience through family. I have had close relatives who unfortunately became very sick and dependent of care takers and I was able to have the experience of taking care of them by helping transfer them from a wheelchair to the bed, adjusting their bed to ensure stability and comfort, how to keep them clean and fed, and to also keep their minds occupied and happy. I am naturally a caretaker and enjoy being able to care for all no matter the age. I am able to help cook, clean, run errands, and provide transportation. I have a great love for animals of all kind and would also enjoy/be comfortable working with them as well. I’ve had animals all of my life and currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats who I love spending my time with.
