Hi! My name is Melina. I was born and raised in San Francisco and have been working with children in various roles for over 10 years. I currently work in a local school district as a behavioral therapist, supporting children with developmental and emotional needs—experience that has helped me develop deep patience, creativity, and an understanding of how to connect with kids at all levels. Childcare has always been a part of my life. My family has run three successful private daycares in San Francisco, and since I was 15, I’ve helped care for families needing an extra hand during evenings, weekends, or special events. I'm also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust with your child. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every home, and I’m also happy to help with things like tidying up, organizing, or running errands to help keep the household running smoothly. Right now, I’m attending City College of San Francisco, studying to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. My background gives me extra tools to support children’s emotional and developmental needs in everyday moments. If you're looking for a caring, dependable sitter with both experience and heart—I’d love to connect with your family!
“I can't recommend Milena enough. She worked with my autistic son as his RBT for a year and also babysat for us until she moved out of state. Milena was the only one that could connect with him at his therapy center. My son trusted her from the first day they met and she cared and loved him like her own child. She handles unexpected situations calmly and efficiently, ensuring the child’s safety and comfort. Milena is incredibly dependable; she was always punctual, patient, kind, and excellent at creating a positive fun atmosphere. She was such a great asset to our family and I haven’t found anyone I can trust like her since she moved away from Florida. She provided not only exceptional care for our son but also became a cherished part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have her!!! Karla Serrano Cape Coral Florida”

“We had the pleasure of working with Diana as the nanny for our 2½-year-old daughter, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Diana is extremely professional, dependable, and always on time. She consistently went above and beyond to support our family in every way possible. Diana cared for our daughter in our home with warmth, patience, and genuine attention. In addition to providing excellent childcare, she helped with light household responsibilities such as folding and organizing laundry, making beds, and keeping our daughter’s space neat and well organized. She also prepared healthy meals for our daughter and made sure her daily routine was followed. Diana regularly picked up our daughter from daycare and took her to the park or library, creating engaging and fun learning experiences. She supported our child’s development through reading, play, and age-appropriate activities, and she also helped with bath time and bedtime routines. Most importantly, Diana created a safe, loving, and structured environment where our daughter thrived. Any family would be fortunate to have her as their nanny, and we would gladly hire her again.”
Hi! My name is Mariah, I am 18 years old and I’ve been a nanny for about two years. I love working with kids and enjoy being part of their daily routines, growth, and fun. I have experience with children of different ages and am confident helping with homework, preparing meals, playing games, and keeping things organized. I’m responsible, patient, and always bring a positive attitude. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids, and I always aim to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. Some of the previous families that I have worked with would describe be as patient, caring, respectful, and organized.
“From day one, Mariah showed a natural ability to connect with children. She is patient, kind, and always makes sure the kids are engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or helping with schoolwork, Mariah keeps things organized and enjoyable. She also handles routines like bedtime, diaper changes, and tidying up with care and consistency. Mariah is extremely reliable—always on time, easy to communicate with, and quick to adapt to changes or special instructions. She is capable of preparing simple snacks and making sure mealtimes run smoothly. Overall, Mariah brings a calm and confident presence that makes both children and parents feel at ease. I trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring babysitter.”
