☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️ Hello, I live in San Francisco and I have been working as a Full Time professional nanny in the Bay Area for over 15 years, working with children starting at 1 month old -- to preschool -- to older children. Caring for multiple children is my specialty and I have a lot of newborn experience, families tell me I am great with infants/babies/toddlers and have a lot of patience and energy for these age groups as well as all the others. I absolutely love my job! 💛 Note: if I apply for your babysitting job, I accept the hourly rate that you set! Working with children keeps me young at heart and I have so much fun doing it. I am a confident person, very organized and love structure but also very relaxed/flexible and people say I have a very calming presence. Basically I will go with whatever flow you have going on in your home and follow your lead and preferences. I have always gravitated towards caring for children. After college (UC Santa Cruz, BA Psychology) I worked as a Literacy Tutor for first graders in East Oakland, and even after some time working in office jobs life lead me back to children. I started working for a Family Day Care center and there I learned valuable knowledge about caring for multiple infants and toddlers at a time. Up to 10-12 kids! It was a natural progression towards nanny work. I love to read to children, play games, creative play, running outside, playing sports, being silly/laughing, etc. My mom was an elementary school teacher and people tell me I am like a teacher. I must take after her :) I am great with infants and toddlers, I recognize non-verbal cues very clearly and think ahead. I take instruction well and I also can do well without any instruction because I have so many years experience and I am a no-nonsense type of personality. I have a genuine interest in every child's well being. Your children will be well taken care of, safe and happy in my care. ❤️ I am CPR/First Aid certified. I can travel throughout the Bay Area, I have a very reliable car, a 2016 VW Tiguan.

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years of experience supporting families and nurturing kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a calm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is warm, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).
Dear Parents, I am a Bay Area native with 16 years of combined experience as a preschool teacher and a nanny/private early childhood educator. I have cared for and taught children in both San Francisco and Paris, France over the years, and each experience has been very rewarding. I am trilingual (English/Spanish/French), and my educational background is in music (classical voice). I love engaging children of all ages in fun and educational activities - especially singing and art projects! If you'd like to know more about my experience, I'd be very happy to hear from you!
Hello! My name is Shaden. I’m 29 years old, a Culinary Arts student, and I speak both Spanish and English. I would describe myself as an honest, responsible, and caring person. I have several years of childcare experience, including over 4 years working with the same family here in San Francisco, plus many years of babysitting experience back in my hometown. I started caring for their youngest when he was just 4 months old, while also helping with his older brother and sister, who were 6 and 8 at the time. Today they are 4, 10, and 12, and it has been such a special experience growing alongside them through every stage. I originally came to San Francisco as an au pair in 2022, and after completing my program, I continued working with the same family as their nanny while studying. In my free time, I’ve also completed many babysitting jobs with local families, building strong connections in the community with 100+ bookings and 50+ positive reviews. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I can help with school drop-offs, activities, homework, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, outdoor play, and engaging creative activities. I’m warm, responsible, patient, and energetic, and I truly enjoy helping children grow while making parents feel supported and at ease
“I highly recommend Shaden! We had a brief call to meet her the night before the booking. She arrived on time (actually a little early and she waited for the extacr time) for a very early morning booking, she was kind and professional. I immediately felt at ease with her, especially since my son was still sleeping. She drove him in her car to his camp and everything went very smoothly. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks Shaden!”
