Booked by 5 families in Colma, CA

Hello! I’m Berkeley I have been working as a nanny, full and part time for 20 yrs. 15 of those years in San Francisco. I’ve truly enjoyed working with so many wonderful families and their cool kids over the years! Currently looking for a variety of work opportunities with new families. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for pet care and house sitting, and household services. Particularly good at keeping homes tidy, organizing, and helping in the kitchen. Experience with premature babies through 12 years old. The last 10 years almost exclusively with multiple children, siblings and twins. Mostly newborns and toddlers. The majority of jobs I’ve had started in infancy and transitioned into toddler years. My childcare style is patient, kind, calm. I have a solid understanding of developmental stages, age appropriate activities, and assistance in reaching learning milestones. Strong emphasis on communication and safety! I’m accustomed to the responsibilities of outings and activities, playdates, getting kids to the park is a favorite. I especially like being helpful in the kitchen with cooking and food prep. Used to handling kids laundry, bottle cleaning and sanitation, meal preparation, toy cleanup, keeping home tidy. Also happy to help out with light pet care around the house. Staying organized and adhering to schedules. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Sincerely, Berkeley B

“Berkeley was an incredible nanny for our little one, from when he was about 6 months old to one year old. She’s extremely punctual, reliable, communicative, and tidy— and most importantly, so sweet and attentive with our baby. Going back to work was so hard, but Berkeley made that transition so much easier. We hope to see her again for random babysitting, etc.!”

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. I’m happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Booked by 12 families in Colma, CA

As a recent graduate of UCSC and moved back to the Bay Area. I am passionate about working with children and have a strong background in educational and caregiving settings. I hold a CPR certification and am eager to continue learning and teaching. Growing up in a family of Montessori educators, I was deeply involved in the school my mother and sister worked at in Pacifica, volunteering and gaining hands-on experience. Over two years, I also worked with Mad Science of the Bay Area, leading after-school and summer programs for children ages 3-12. This experience included engaging activities and educational experiences to foster creativity and learning. Additionally, I have provided nanny care for multiple families, including caring for sets of twins and a family of four, where I was responsible for coordinating activities, preparing meals, and providing tutoring support. Since relocating from Santa Cruz County, I worked at Tara Redwood School as an assistant teacher, supporting children ages 2-9 in a variety of classroom settings. In addition, I have experience dog-sitting and house-sitting, providing a well-rounded skill set in both caregiving and home management. I am excited to continue applying my experience and nurturing qualities to help children grow and thrive.

“We've worked with Crystal for a while now and, while I'm behind getting her review in, I can now speak with experience that she is wonderful to work with and very good with our three kids. They look forward to her coming and we feel totally at ease leaving them in her care. We're very grateful for her kind demeanor and thoughtful caretaking!”
