Hi I’m Leeah and I am back in the Bay Area. I am looking for work part time as a nanny. I’m available after 5pm M-F and free Saturday-Sunday. I have over 4 years of experience nannying & working part-time at a daycare, where I would facilitate morning circle, arts / crafts, outdoor activity at park, nap time, and snack / food setup. I also have a younger brother who is currently 14 years old :) I do have experience working with kids on the spectrum and I am there to help the family and BT with any daily activities. My favorite activity is arts and crafts 😊 If you are looking for someone who is punctual and kind-hearted, feel free to reach out to me ! I would love to be your sitter. CPR certified

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. I love to get creative with craft times while using imagination and am great with time management and details. I am a highly responsible person whose top priority while working is taking care of your child. Communication is super important to me, I am super punctual and am happy to work with you on what’s best for your family and your child.

Hello, cherished parents and guardians! With a heart full of love and nine years of professional experience, I've been on a delightful journey of caring for children since I was just a child myself, tending to my four nieces and two nephews. Holding a college degree in sociology with a minor in childhood development, I am not only skilled but deeply passionate about understanding and nurturing young minds. My mission is to provide a haven of safety and warmth, where parents can confidently entrust their little ones into my care. Whether you're seeking a well-deserved night out or a moment to tackle life's demands, I am here to ensure your children are not just looked after, but truly cared for. With CPR certification, a clean background check, and complete vaccination, your child's safety is paramount to me.

Hailey did an amazing job with our three you kids. She fed them, put them to bed and cleaned up afterward. We are very thankful!

Booked by 149 families in Daly City, CA

I am a credentialed Special Education Teacher and private tutor with thirteen years of teaching experience. I have worked with kids with a range of needs, and specialize in students with learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD, and 2E children. I have also been a sitter and nanny for many more years. I have significant experience with kids from newborn infants through high school age. As a sitter, I’m incredibly attentive and engaging with kids. I love to read with them, play games, do arts and crafts, play outside, and cook/ bake. I’m a great cook, and am happy to do meal prep services in addition to childcare as well. I have a B.A. from UC San Diego in International Relations, and a Master's Degree from CUNY Brooklyn College in Special Education. In my free time, I love to cook and bake, create pottery, spend time outside and on the water, and travel to new parts of the world! Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent within 12 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

Meagan was amazing!! Seamlessly jumped in and the girls immediately took to her. She covered for our nanny for 3 days for our 4 yr old and 1.5 yr old and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is warm, loving, energetic and kept everything super tidy. 10/10, thank you Meagan!!

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.

Great job and was friendly.
