Booked by 1 family in Newark, CA

Hi! My name is Julia, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience caring for infants, toddlers, children, and pets. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco and truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have a background in Veterinary Medicine, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to stay calm in any situation. Families describe me as dependable, kind, organized, and proactive. I love planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, reading, arts and crafts, and helping children reach developmental milestones. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks related to the children, meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, and pet care. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for parents while making each day fun and enriching for the children in my care.

“Julia was wonderful with my two girls! She was on time, very sweet, and the girls warmed up to her quickly. I felt comfortable leaving them with her and everything went really well. I would definitely have her back!”

Marissa $30 per hour for 1 child

I have been caring for children for most of my life. As the second oldest of five siblings, responsibility came early to me. When I was just 10 years old, I began watching my three-year-old brother while my mother worked. From there, childcare became a natural and meaningful part of my life. As a teenager, I babysat two children every summer, beginning when they were 4 and 6 years old. Those years taught me consistency, patience, and how important it is to build trust with both children and parents. While in college, I worked as a live-in nanny for a family in Portland, Maine. The parents were opening a restaurant, so I provided full-time care for their 18-month-old daughter. My responsibilities included meal preparation, housekeeping, outings, and maintaining daily routines. When their second child was born, I cared for their six-month-old son alongside their almost four-year-old daughter. I remained with the family until the children were 4 and 7 years old. My role included cooking healthy meals, school pickups, park outings, bedtime routines, and occasionally morning routines. I believe children thrive when they are active and engaged, so I prioritized outdoor play whenever possible—trips to playgrounds, local parks for picnics, splash pads, petting zoos, and nature walks. On colder days, we visited the library, did arts and crafts projects, or attended local cafés with live music and child-friendly play areas. I aim to keep children curious, creative, and physically active while ensuring they feel safe and supported. Throughout college, I also volunteered at local shelters, watching children while parents needed to do what they needed to do while living in the shelter. Additionally, during the summers worked at a diabetes camp caring for kids aged 8-15 years old living with diabetes and enjoying two weeks away from home. Following college, I lived in Kerala, India where I taught English and political science to kids aged 3 to 14 years old. More recently, I babysat a 1½-year-old boy in Washington, DC, providing dependable evening care so his busy parents could enjoy occasional date nights. I am responsible, attentive, and deeply experienced with children of different ages. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, explore, and feel cared for. I am also CPR certified. I looked forward to meeting your little one(s) and supporting their growth and development.
