Hello, I have recently moved to San Francisco. I was a nanny in San Diego for many years while I loved there and am currently looking to find a weekend position so I can continue my passion. Please note I do ask for a 4 hour minimum for a one-time job and an added $50/per day for holidays.

Hi, I’m Samara! I’m an experienced and caring nanny with a true passion for childcare. I volunteered for 8 years in a daycare in Brazil, caring for kids from 6 months to 7 years old, and I’ve been babysitting in the U.S. since 2016, including 2 years as an au pair. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. I love helping children learn, develop, and have fun! I look forward to meeting you and your family! Sincerely, Samara

“Samara was on time and adapted well to the two new kids she was looking after like a professional. You could immediately tell she was experienced and comfortable taking are of the young ones and keeping them engaged and learning. Highly recommend!”

Hello families! ¡Hola, Familias! I am Paula (or Pau). I was born and raised in Colombia; I moved to the US in 2014 as an Au Pair (live-in nanny). I worked with two families in two different cities and have remained a nanny ever since. Some of the things I love are music, spending time outdoors, animals, hiking, dancing, swimming, and reading. My experience with kids began when I was 10. I come from a huge family, so I've been around kids my whole life. I am very energetic and creative so I like to come up with different activities age-convenient outside and inside the house, I have worked with kids of all ages including twins, newborns and toddlers; I love to spend time with kids, I like to play with them and teach them new things (like Spanish) and I think that security is the key to proper development for the kids so my primary goal is to make kids feel safe to play and learn and have fun of course! If you have any questions/or you don't see availability in my calendar, please feel free to message me. Hablo español porque soy de Colombia. Si tiene dudas, preguntas o peticiones, por favor no dude en enviarme un mensaje, con mucho gusto le atiendo. Thank you for your interest. ****SITTER POLICY*** - By scheduling a booking with me, you're acknowledging that you've read and will abide by this policy. -PAYMENT: Cash only, please. -AVAILABILITY: Occasional and temporary part-time care. Pet and house sitting. -RATES: My rates are the same whether the child is awake or asleep and the rate per hour depends on the amount of chores and responsibilities I’ll be in charge of. I charge double time for the following holidays: New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Day after Christmas. CANCELATIONS: I understand that plans change. However, I do recommend a 48-hour notice so I can try to fulfill my calendar with a new booking. BOOKINGS: I charge for the full time I was booked for , regardless if I get dismissed earlier than expected because I plan my time and my budget around my bookings. So please, give me a 48h notice if you need to cancel. Also, if you plan on arriving later than expected, please let me know at least 1 hour before the booking is supposed to end. I'm usually flexible with late arrivals, but sometimes I have more than one booking on the same day, and your late arrival can negatively affect the rest of my day. Thanks for reading! :)

I am a mother of two amazing girls. When they were toddlers I had them in a co op preschool where the parents worked a few days a week. I really enjoyed it and my girls did as well. That was definitely my calling for working with children. I am comfortable with multiple children at one time. I love babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. Some of my favorite activities are reading books, playing games and exploring the outdoors.

“Lillian was lovely ! Our little boy loved her ! She was on time and very communicative we can’t wait to have her babysit again ! ”

Greetings!🖖🏽 My name is Ava Alexandra (She/They) and I have been babysitting since 2019. I am a San Francisco native, multimedia artist, and community advocate who is working towards their Bachelor's Degree in Communications and Asian American Studies. In my spare time I enjoy painting, baking, fashion styling, event design, and singing karaoke!! I was born to two florists and enjoy making flower arrangements for friends and family. 💐 I have experience caring for children ages 1-12, and quickly adapt to different routines that work for every family. I am well versed in "mother's helper" tasks such as dishwashing, cooking, laundry, light housework, and organizing. I will always tidy up and help make things easier for you, your children, and family unit. I hope you consider me. Hope you have a fantastic October! 🎃 I am familiar with bedtime and bath time routines for children, ensuring they are well taken care of and happy. I enjoy working with children and providing them with the tools they need to be creative, grow strong, and be healthy! I enjoy art, fashion, and all elements of design. I love to design clothing and sew. Some of my interests include painting, watching anime, and playing Nintendo Switch games. Please book me at least 24 hours in advance. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Hope to be in touch soon. :)

“Ava has been extremely sweet with my daughter, getting her ready and taking her to school in the morning while I'm in Zoom meetings and then helping me with some mommy's helper stuff around the house. She's making my life a lot easier! 🙏🥰”
