Meet college nannies and sitters from San Francisco State University

Hello! I graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Child and Adolescent Development. I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, which adds to my knowledge of children. I currently work for a public school district where I work with children that have special needs. Prior to that, I was a teacher at a private school. I have worked with a variety of ages, but primarily with 3-4 year olds for 5 years. I have worked as a nanny for two children for 5 years, while also babysitting for many years before this. When babysitting, I primarily have worked with school aged children, K-6th grade. I have had some experience with infant children under the age of 1 for about four years. I hope that I can be of assistance to you and your family. Thank you!

Hi there! My name is Melanie and I am a USF graduate in Biology and Kinesiology with a concentration in Child/Youth Studies. I recently graduated from SFSU with a second degree in Nursing. I hope to be involved in pediatric emergency nursing and currently applying and interviewing for jobs. I am available for occasional and part time jobs for the time being as I look for a nursing position. I love to connect with new families and take care of their little ones! I am originally from Miami, Fl and moved out here for school. I have been here for 12 years now and plan on making CA my forever home! I am currently 30 years old, very active, independent, and get along well with kids as I come from a very big family (9 nieces and nephews whom I adore with all my heart). I also have extensive experience working with kids from being a Pre-K assistant teacher with two graduating classes, children's party host and a swim instructor/head swim coach at the JCCSF. Fun Fact about me: I was part of the CCSF intercollegiate Water Polo/Swim team while completing my pre-requisites for nursing. I am also currently into climbing and spend my free time at the climbing gym. I am flexible for most tasks, playing, feeding, bathing, bedtime, reading, outdoors play etc. I am also completely fine with any kind of pets. Feel free to reach out to me if I can be of any help to you! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Melanie **Sidenote: cash, check or square cash payments preferred, but credit ok also**

Hello my name is Evin! I am a graduate of San Francisco State University where I earned a BA in Child and Adolescent Development with a concentration in youth work and out of school time as well as a Minor in Africana studies. I also have a Masters (MA) in Drama Therapy at CIIS. I have worked as a coordinator for different youth programs throughout the Bay for over 7 years now abd a program manager of youth programming for the last 4 years. A lot of the work I do centers on culture, healing, Mental Health, Restorative Justice, etc. I have been working with children for over a decade now. I started off babysitting for local families back in San Diego. Then it was more infant and toddler care. Right into college I worked in preschools for two years then went into summer and after school programs with school-age kids, and following that I was a camp counselor at a radical healing retreat with high school students. I now write curriculum for one of the summer programs I work for and after being a coordinator for both programs I am now a full time program manger. I am super into creativity and socio-emotional development along with education and safety. I pride my self in making children feel safe to learn and express themselves as well as discover who they are as individuals. I love supporting youth in all their endeavors and I truly have a natural understanding, patience, and connection with children.

Hi!

I have been babysitting since for 8 years for different families around the city of San Francisco. I can help with anything ranging from feeding to sleep time to homework. I am a very patient tutor when it comes to homework help. I love taking the kids outside to play in the fresh air, but reading and doing arts and crafts inside is just as fun. I am a highly dependable and adaptable Babysitter with a lot of patience and a love for kids (as well as furry friends). I have a lot of experience with different social and emotional behaviors. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. Flexible scheduling availability. In my free time I love to watch movies, hang out with friends, eat new delicious foods, traveling, and reading books.

Hi! My name is Miesha, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know each child’s personality, interests, and routine. Over the years, I’ve worked with many different families, and one thing I’ve learned is that every child and every household is different. I’m available for date nights, occasional care, overnight care, hotel and travel care, amusement park care, special events, and families who may need care outside of a traditional schedule. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple children at once. I’m CPR, First Aid, and AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as TrustLine registered. Safety is very important to me, and I want parents to be able to leave knowing their children are in good hands. When I’m caring for children, I like to actually interact with them rather than just supervise. Depending on their age and interests, that might mean playing games, going outside, doing arts and crafts, reading, baking, watching a movie together, helping with homework, or simply listening while they tell me about all the things they’re currently excited about. 😊 I’m also happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the children are in my care. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management with a minor in Business Administration from San Francisco State University. My professional background also includes working in childcare staffing, where I’ve trained nannies and helped match caregivers with families based on their individual childcare needs. I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your children is a big deal. I’m respectful of each family’s routines, household rules, parenting preferences, and expectations. I’m dependable, communicative, and flexible, and I always want both the parents and children I work with to feel comfortable with me. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking, sports, traveling, spending time outdoors, going to amusement parks, and exploring new places. Whether you need a sitter for a date night, work, an event, vacation, hotel stay, overnight care, or just some time to yourself, I’d love to connect and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Hi! My name is Nancy, and hopefully, I'll be your family's next babysitter. I live in Bed-Stuy and first moved to Brooklyn 10+ years ago. But, I was born and raised in Oakland, CA. I have grown up working in childcare environments. My mom is a preschool teacher for the Oakland Unified School District, so I've spent most of my life tagging along and assisting her in every aspect of her job - the curriculum, nutrition, or just fun time. Formerly, I was a full time nanny for a 3 month old til she was 18 months old and started Montessori. I’m particularly experienced with that age of development from bottle feeding, preparing homemade baby food, doing some family assistant, and more I am experienced babysitting for all ages, from newborns to preteens. My skills with children can be catered to your child and adapted to any environment. I have experience with families from the conscious Bay Area lifestyle to the alternatively fast-paced Los Angeles and New York clientele. (I've lived and babysat in all cities) I love children, and they love me. As a caretaker, I don't believe in being absent-minded or distant. Being introduced to new people can be difficult for children. It is best to make the transition easier through hands-on, enriching approaches such as games, creative activities, storytelling, field trips, etc. Plus, it helps that I can be just as silly as any kid!

I also plan great birthday parties! Examples of activities I would do with your kids: •Cooking - kids love making pizzas, helping me cook, trying new foods •Baking - baking or decorating with kids. Can be GF, Dairy free, refined sugar free •Crafts - puzzles, paintings, drawings, etc •Writing & drawing storybooks •Going to the park •Exploring a museum, exhibit, or children's focussed art/music studio As a professional, experienced, educated, warm, and bubbly babysitter, I would make an excellent choice for your kids!
