Hello families! My name is Sophie and I am 29 years old. I’m originally from Germany and live in the Marina with my husband. I‘m offering child care and household services which I have years of experience with. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping them throughout their daily activities. I am an Occupational Therapist and have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I was an Aupair (2[removed]) here in the Bay Area and loved being a part of my hostkids‘ (6 and 8 years old) daily life.

See you soon, Sophie 😊 - Valid Green Card / Work authorisation - California Driver’s License since 2021
“Sophie was wonderful with our almost-3-year-old. Ollie took to her immediately, and they had a blast together at the park. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with little ones, and as a German speaker she was a great fit for our family. Communication was easy and she showed up right on time. We’re already booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Hey families! My name is Vanessa, I’m 20 years old and I’m a Spanish and English speaker. I’m currently a student at San Francisco State University, majoring in Child Development and Psychology. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 14 years old, starting with my younger cousins and my 5-year-old brother, who I helped look after while my parents worked. Making meals, putting them to bed etc. Besides that, I’ve also gained experience working at two daycares, and i have experience working as a teacher and supervisor at my church. I’m also employed as a Behavioral Technician for kids who have autism. Through all these experiences I realized how much I love helping kids learn, grow and feel supported. I really love and enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality playing games, doing creative activities, helping with homework, or simply listening to them and what makes them happy. My goal is to build trust and connection, so your kid feels safe, cared for, and understood when they’re with me. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a fun, nurturing environment for your kids!
