Hi, My name is Tierra, I’m looking for part time and weekend work. I’m available early mornings and evenings. I have experience with children from newborn to elementary school age. I’m responsible and reliable. In 2022 I was a nanny for siblings a two year old boy and a 9 month old girl for a couple of months before she was old enough to start school. I was also a babysitter for a pair of sisters 3 years old and 2 years old. I work as a third grade after school teacher. I also used to volunteer at a preschool. I’m ok with doing light housekeeping if needed (dishes, laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down counters/toys)
“Tierra has cared for my son several times this past summer, from 16 months to 19 months old. She is kind, patient, and playful with him. It's an added benefit that she works as a teacher. I will definitely hire Tierra again.”
Hi- my name is Danielle! I am a public school teacher of 4 years (3rd grade for 3, 2nd grade for 1). I’m looking to make some extra money on the side with house sitting, pet sitting, babysitting, or tutoring. I have a bachelors degree in Childhood Development, i have worked in a preschool as the head teacher and also in an after-school program with elementary aged kiddos, and also spent two years as a full time nanny to twins (3 yrs). I’m mostly looking for evening care jobs or weekends when my schedule permits. I have experience with tutoring elementary school aged kids as well as experience with special needs kids. I have a lot of pet sitting experience and have owned dogs/cats my entire life. I don’t have a ton of free time during weekdays but would be willing to work out check ins or walks if necessary. House sitting would be ideal for my schedule. I have housesat numerous times for family and friends in the past and would feel very comfortable if pets were there too!
“Danielle was great, super friendly and took care of our daughter. She did not shy away from toddler behaviors and jumped right in! ”

✨ Hi families! 🤱🏻I’m Maria, and I’m a loving, responsible, attentive nanny with years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants to toddlers — since I was 16. 📍I’m currently based in San Francisco and actively looking for a ✨full-time nanny position✨ where I can offer my full dedication, warmth, and energy. 🌱 I provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment filled with creativity, play-based learning, and lots of affection. 🎨 I love singing, storytelling, and playing in both English and Spanish, helping little ones grow through fun and meaningful activities.📚 🩺I am certified in Baby First Aid/CPR/AED and have completed Advanced Child Care Training with the American Red Cross. 🧚🏻♀️I’m punctual, kind, and deeply respectful of each family’s values, routines, and parenting styles. I would be honored to become a supportive and trustworthy part of your child’s day-to-day life. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your little ones!
“Maria was absolutely wonderful with our 16-month-old! She arrived right on time, bonded with our daughter instantly, and made her feel comfortable and happy. She was super helpful, and her warm personality shines through in everything she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
Hello there! I’m Yelyzaveta, you also can call me Ellie — a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who’s loved working with children since I was 11. My childcare experience began with my nephew (diapers, doctor visits, feeding, baths, bedtime, homework help) and continued after I moved to the U.S. in 2022, when I lived with a family and cared for their 1-year-old and 3-year-old for over a year. My duties included meal preparation , daycare drop-offs and pickups , bathing, educational play, storytime, museum outings, and building routines that made the day calm and fun. I still help their family occasionally. I’m patient and attentive — when a child is upset I give them space, check they feel safe, and help them name and work through their feelings. I bring creativity to play (arts & crafts, building, interactive games), read aloud with enthusiasm, and support early learning and motor skills. I’m also comfortable with light household tasks while children nap, and happy to help with cooking and homework support. Outside of childcare, I work as a café lead. I hold a degree in Food Technology and plan to study something different in college. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. People describe me as organized, responsible, and caring. I’m always more than happy to have a chat or a quick call with potential families so we can discuss details and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children!
