Booked by 11 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi! I’m Lili, a San Francisco nanny with nearly 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and school-aged children. Families I work with describe me as reliable, warm, and someone their kids genuinely look forward to seeing. I currently work with several repeat families in neighborhoods like Pacific Heights, Cole Valley, Inner Sunset, and the Marina. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Business Administration. My education, combined with years of caregiving, has strengthened my communication, patience, and problem-solving skills. I love creating fun and engaging routines for kids that balance play, creativity, and structure. Whether we’re doing art projects, exploring outside, reading together, or working on homework, I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I have experience with school pickups, bedtime routines, meal prep, outdoor activities, and helping kids wind down at the end of the day. I especially enjoy working with school-aged children and helping with homework, creative projects, or practicing Spanish through play and conversation. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in Spanish, and have my own car so I can help with transportation if needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help families with light household support such as kids’ laundry, tidying play areas, meal prep, errands, and general organization. Families I work with appreciate that I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to each child’s needs. I do my best to follow each family’s routines and preferences so kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.

Easy to work with and did a great job with our toddler son. Would be happy to work with again.

Booked by 5 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi! My name is Toyosi. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to San Francisco last year for medical school. I graduated from Princeton University in 2021, and I currently attend UCSF School of Medicine. I have always loved working with children, and I have been babysitting since high school. I am also interested in pursuing pediatrics after medical school. Outside of school (and babysitting), I enjoy reading, watching and playing soccer, practicing yoga, and taking long walks along the beautiful streets of San Francisco. All in all, I am a very genuine, kind, and thoughtful individual, and I always strive to provide my very best in my work and care for others. I hope to work with you soon!

Toyosi is a delight! Reliable and my boys loved her.

Hi lovely families, I’m Maria, 52, high energy, artsy and positive thinking nanny with 38 years of professional child care exp. I’ve always had a special connection to kids. They are my people! I’ve been a long term nanny to two sets of twins from two families. The first set from ages 4-14. Next set from 4mos to 3yrs. I’ve taken care of hundreds of children from newborn to 17. I’m extremely proud of my first set of twins having graduated college in 2025. They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care. I love to spark creativity by helping children discover new things each day through play, reading, music, singing aloud, creative arts and limiting screen time. I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. ​I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs) while making sure to meet disciplinary and educational goals for each child. Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers. It happens, am i right?? Non smoker Vaxxed for Covid x4 Flu Sept 2024 DTap/Tdap/TD 2014 Smallpox 1974 HepB 2016 MMR 1[removed] CPR/First Aid certified I do mask frequently as I have severe asthma. PLEASE PLEASE disclose if any family members are ill or have been exposed with any type of respiratory illnesses before I arrive so that I may mask up properly before entering and starting my shift. Im an excellent driver but do not own a vehicle. Looking forward to my time with all you wonderful families! ***Cancellation/Payment Policy*** Please respect and be mindful of payment for the full amount of time posted and booked. These cherished gigs are my only source of income that my livelihood depends on. I appreciate and thank you kindly.

Hi! - My name is Joy, I work as a barista so my schedule is pretty flexible and love working with kids! I spend a lot of my free time reading, baking and doing many different arts and crafts! I have been working with children for the last 10 years and have experience watching infants, toddlers and school age kids. I have done school pick-ups, naps, bedtimes and bath time, taken kids to extra curricular activities, worked events with groups of kids and spent time as a program director for middle school and high school students.
