"Every child you encounter is a divine appointment." —Wess Stafford Hi, I’m Tiffany! An optimistic, fun, and patient caregiver with a passion for working with children of all ages. I believe in fostering creativity, learning through play, and creating a nurturing environment filled with laughter and positivity. While we try to teach children about life, children teach us what life is all about. Why Choose Me? ✔Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified ✔ Experienced & Trustworthy: As the eldest of three, caregiving has been second nature to me. With a 9-year age gap between my younger brother and me, I’ve helped guide him from toddlerhood through his teens—assisting with schoolwork, projects, activities, and transportation. My baby sister, now 3, keeps me on my toes, and I cherish every moment of it! ✔ Professional Childcare Background: Beyond babysitting for family and clients (ages 1.5+), I’ve worked as an after-school teacher’s assistant at Sunshine Learning Center (K-2) and Best Friends Learning Center (Grades 1-6). I also served as an administrative assistant at a children's art studio, where I helped kids (5+) explore their creativity. ✔ Pet Lover & Experienced Dog Walker: With over 12 years as a dedicated dog owner, I understand that pets are part of the family too! I also have hands-on experience dog-walking for clients, ensuring their furry companions receive the care, attention, and exercise they need. Education & Career: I studied at Arizona State University and currently work as a Realtor. While my professional path is in real estate, my love for working with children has remained a constant throughout my life. If you're looking for a reliable, engaging, and caring nanny who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect! Let’s create wonderful memories together.

My educational background is in Child Development and Youth Mental Heath, currently working as a High School therapist in SFUSD.

I specialize in supporting new parents during the early years, especially with routines, developmental milestones, and play. My approach is a strength based, family-centered practice.
