Hello! My name is Erica 👋 I provide reliable in home childcare with the experience and skill of a preschool teacher. I am currently seeking a part-time morning nanny position while in school to become a kindergarten teacher. I have 4 years of experience working for private families, including two long-term nannying arrangements that lasted more than a year. I taught preschool for 2 years as a lead teacher with a class of students aged 18mo- 5 years old. I am available to start on or after August 24th. My childcare philosophy centers around patience, relationship, and silliness. While caring for children, I am constantly singing, dancing, and finding ways to make a mundane task fun. I view challenging behavior as an opportunity to teach emotional regulation and communication. I believe it's our job to teach children boundaries, so I lead with a firm but kind approach, always shame-free. I enjoy engaging children in intentional activities that work to improve developmental skills. My goal is to get the kids I care for out and about at least once a day, so walks and driving to fun activities (I have a car and am happy to use it!) are a must. I love finding out about the local parks, libraries, rec centers, museums, and music and art classes! Early childhood education is my passion and career focus. I’m currently in school at SFSU, finishing my bachelor's degree and teaching credential.
25 plus years of experience as a nanny with any age, new borns and up, friendly, clean, never late always on time, strong references and always happy. I can also provide a background check via email or fax. Excellent driving record. All immunizations up to date, very honest, CPR certified, clean background, non smoker, very responsible. I’m going to be Available by September 2027
“Anabel is the best nanny that my husband and I could ask for. She’s been with us for over two years now. She’s taken care of our daughter since she was three months old and now that she’s over two years old, she’s going to start going to school to be around other kids more. We appreciate Anabel’s work ethics. As first time parents, we needed a nanny with lots of experience and Anabel has that! She has great energy and attitude and it’s very easy and pleasant to have her around. We trust her with our daughter more than anyone else. I highly recommend Anabel.”
Hi! My name is Brianna and I work full-time in the Ecommerce field, but am looking to get back into working with families on the side! A bit about me: I am the oldest of 4 and have decades of babysitting experience both professionally and for my own siblings, neighbors, and family friends. I graduated with a Neuroscience degree from UMN in Minneapolis in 2019 and started my professional career as a visitation supervisor for families working towards reunification in the CPS system. I spent time with a wide age range of children and families of varying sizes as well as taught parenting skills during my visits. Following that, I moved to San Diego and worked as a nanny full-time for various families with children ranging from 5 months to 4 years old. I have since moved up to SF, adopted a dog, and would love to work with your family! I’m looking forward to chatting more and seeing if we are a good fit for care!
“We’ve hired Brianna as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Brianna is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Brianna again!”
Hey I'm Mallory 👋 I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old (that seems wild in this day and age) and I am an aunt to 3 kids ages 1, 3 & 7 with one on the way. I love children and have experience with all ages. I was a nanny throughout college and babysat for date nights and other events throughout my career. I have a 15 year career as a head of sales in the consumer good space and am on a career break. Some things I love - cooking (will cook with your kids!), nature, going on walks, all the pets, trying new things, dancing, hiking and all water activities.
“Mallory was great with our 19 month old. She got right down on his level and read him a book while we left the house - no tears! He ate second helpings of dinner and was asleep when we got home. Great experience, would love to have Mallory back.”
Hello, I'm Mallu! I have +9 years of childcare experience, having cared for kids aged 2 months to 14 years. My expertise covers childcare, household management, and pet care. Over the past years, I've worked as a full-time caregiver for several families in the Bay area. Additionally, I've provided babysitting services to many families with children of different ages. During my educational journey, I also took child development classes, which added an extra layer of understanding to my practical experience. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about helping children grow, achieve milestones, and develop important skills. Whether it's organizing outdoor activities or engaging in indoor play, I take joy in providing engaging experiences for children of all ages. Beyond childcare, I like cooking, staying active through exercise, and immersing myself in good reads. If you're seeking an extra hand to make things easier, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering me. Mallu
“Mallu was absolutely wonderful. Our ~2 year old son took to her very quickly, and we felt lucky to have her help!”
