Selena $25 per hour for 1 child

I started by helping my mom with my siblings; Which just ignited the joy I have with working with children. I'm very patient, and I'm able to provide help where it's needed. I'm starting my first semester at ccsf for ECE, as my focus is to get a job working with children. I'm great at cooking and following diet restrictions. Food safety is my number one priority when it comes to this. I'm able to multitask and take care of anything I may need with a good amount of precision. I genuinely love working with kids, and I hope to have some of my own someday. I have about 10-12 years of experience working with children; my experience primarily comes from helping raise my siblings into the preteens they are now. I grew up cleaning and cooking, so I'm well-equipped when it comes to these.

Pattara $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is May. I have over 7 years of experience as a live-in nanny and au pair, caring for children from infants to school age. I truly enjoy supporting kids through every stage of growth — from diapering and potty training to homework help and after-school activities. Over the years, I’ve cared for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged kids (up to 4 at once!) and have helped families with everything from school drop-offs to bedtime routines. I love keeping children engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor activities, and structured routines that make them feel secure. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support including meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, organization, and managing busy family schedules. Safety is always a priority — I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and I have a clean driving record. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and caring. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment where children thrive and parents feel supported.

Natalie $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families! My name is Natalie, I am a Registered Nurse with a passion for caring for children. I am currently in between nursing positions and working part-time as a School Nurse, where I provide one-on-one care for medically fragile students. While I transition into my next role, I am excited to offer afternoon, evening, and occasional date night childcare for families looking for dependable, compassionate support. I have over ten years of childcare experience and have found that working with children is one of my greatest passions. Whether it's engaging in play, helping with homework, maintaining routines, or providing attentive care, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am also the oldest of six siblings, which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages-- from infancy through adolescence. This has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and an understanding of each child's unique personality and needs. As I prepare to pursue my long-term goal of becoming a Labor and Delivery nurse, I would love the opportunity to continue doing what I enjoy most: caring for children and supporting families. If you're looking for a reliable, responsible caregiver with a healthcare background, I would be happy to connect and discuss how I can help meet your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Natalie B.
