Hello, I'm Sofia! Currently working with a lovely family helping care for their infant daughter (and young doggo!). I completed studies at USF in 2019 with my major in Critical Diversity Studies, and a minor in Legal Studies. I have been a family helper/nanny for over 13 years with children ranging in the ages of newborns to teenagers. I also have worked with six separate families with infant twins, one of which were preemies. I have an excellent driving record in case you are in need of help that requires me to drive. I am a huge animal lover as well, so if you have any pets, I am open to help care for them as well such as walking and feeding them, etc. Currently open to part time work: 1-2 days a week and/or date night help. I cannot commit to specific work days as my schedule varies, but can work with a family that has some schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance! Fully vaccinated & boosted 💉

Sofia is such a wonderful caregiver; we feel very lucky to have found her to help take care of our baby Grace from 4-6 months old. She is highly professional, knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleeping schedules, and has a very nurturing presence. Sofia was the first consistent babysitter we had, and felt comfortable trusting her with Grace. Sofia took care of Grace at home while I worked from home and took Grace out on walks around the neighborhood so she could have fresh air during the day. In addition, she is wonderful to chat with and learn from. I would highly recommend Sofia to take care of little ones.

Hello ! My name is Ariana. I recently graduated from SFSU with a bachelors in nursing and currently working on my Masters. I’m offering child care and senior care. I have volunteered at Think Together after school program for about five years assisting and tutoring students. I helped raise and watch my three siblings and many cousins when I was ten. Ever since I just love taking care of children. I have so much patience and passion for the little ones and teens! I love creating activities or arts and crafts, reading, making towers with legos, and dancing. * I did take a long break from babysitting due to the outbreak. Then once I decided to resume I focused on my school and joined a beautiful nanny share.

Ariana is great and our daughter loves playing with her. She's always super friendly, energetic and very professional.

Booked by 19 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi, my name is Valentina and I'm offering child care. I love taking care, playing, teaching and spending time with infants and toddlers. I have a certification in early childhood education and I worked in a school where I did didactic and meaningfu activities for them to develop their motor, cognitive, sensory and communicative skills through play such as painting, singing, dancing, reading and imagining stories, tasting and feeling different textures.

Valentina is reliable, warm and enthusiastic in working with our daughter. We had a last minute logistics change that we had to communicate to her and she followed through with it seamlessly. Our daughter absolutely loves her time with Valentina.

Hi! My name is Mariana, I’m an art student and childcare provider with 6+ years of experience currently offering backup care and occasional babysitting. Also open to pet sit! (I’m a dog owner and lover hehe). I’m a responsible, dedicated and experienced professional nanny with a background in art education - very creative and patient. I absolutely love working with kids and have been watching infants through toddlerhood and kids - including siblings and experience in a nanny share set up. My responsibilities have included driving to/ from school and activities, museum/ library/ parks visits, arts and crafts and help with school projects/ homework. My job also involves cooking/ cleaning after the kids and running errands for the families if need to. I’m originally from Brazil and I love traveling and learn new cultures. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and I’m learning Italian. I can adapt and learn with ease. Currently I have a fix schedule with a couple of families and looking forward working with new amazing families either in a regular basis or occasionally. Open to last minute backup care if I’m available - i keep my calendar up to date. Happy to schedule phone/ video interviews and I do my best to keep parents comfortable while their kiddos are on my care! Thank you :)

It was my first time leaving my baby with someone and Mariana eased all my worries and handled everything (including bedtime) like a pro!
