Hi my name is Marie, I'm Irish living in San Francisco! I’m a full time nanny to two great boys for the last six years but looking to meet some great new families for date nights and Weekends! I am a happy loving person who loves nothing more than looking after kids, been outdoors, exploring or reading a good book. I have over 10 years experience minding kids and can assure you that you can relax and be reassured with full peace of mind when your kids are with me!
Hi, moms and dads! I'm Suverce. I’ve been working with children for over 10 years as an au pair, a nanny, a tutor, and an occasional sitter, and I genuinely love what I do. I was an aupair for two years. I used us take care of 2 lovely kids. Luca is 3 yo, and Milly is 11 mo. I like having my time with kids. I`m energetic, creative, fun, and at the same time, a responsible and kind person. I have an easy connection with kids that they like spending their time with me! I would like to tell you about my one day as an Aupair: I take kids in the morning and help them eat their breakfast. I prepare their food, and I feed Milly. I help Luca to get changed. I drive to his school. After I leave Luca at his school, I take Milly to the Gymboree. After a couple of hours, I drive back to Luca`s school to pick him up. I read them books, and we do art projects with Luca. I help him use the potty. We play together, and if the weather is good, we go outside to take a walk. We also go to the zoo, playground, museums.. I help Milly eat her food, cook baby food for her, sing to her, and read books all the time. I change her diaper and do her routines every day. We sometimes go grocery shopping together. Luca loves it! In my second year as an au pair, I took care of Madeleine who is 6yo. We had so much fun.I love to go to the Oakland zoo, Lawrence science museum, Chabot space museum, SF pier 39, some playgrounds, especially SF Dolores park and Piedmont dracena park which are suitable for climbing and riding a bike. Emerville pump it up, Oakland sharks ice skating and Alameda ceramic painting place are good opportunity for rainy days. Before I was an au pair, I worked in the kindergarten as a volunteer for almost a year. I played with them and did lots of art-crafts. I helped them eat their lunches and brush their teeth. I taught them colors, numbers, arts and crafts,etc. (About me: I graduated with a degree in chemical engineering and completed a master's in engineering management at CSU East Bay. I am currently employed as a project manager for a construction contractor.)

I grew up babysitting younger cousins. I can also cook + help with house chores + organizing. I'm punctual, very tidy so I'm always cleaning up after children/meals. I'm authentic, energetic, reliable + trustworthy, parents + kids love my company. Non-smoker, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing + stimulating environment for your kids to thrive in. CPR/First Aid certified. I speak fluent French + Mandarin (bilingual in Cantonese/English). I can help your kids if they're in the FI/CI programs after school hours.

Joana here. I came from Brazil to SF in 2007, and have been living on Bernal Heights since then. I've been babysitting kids of all ages professionally for the past 15 years, in a wide range of ways. School pickups, taking to activities, sleep overs, date nights, back up nanny for the day, taking kids to museums, zoo, playgrounds, hikes, etc. I have traveled to 25 countries and love sharing my experiences. I own a fully insured car and have a clean driving record. I love the outdoors! I am healthy and usually kids like me. I'm responsible but also fun. I know how to do anything house related and don’t mind helping out. I love pets. I am flexible and adaptable to follow any philosophies that the family has chosen to guide their little ones. Punctuality, positivity and great communication are my main qualities. Hope to meet you soon. Cheers Minimum of 3 hours per job* I am a proud grandma of 2 boys 🩵 ***Please be considerate of my time as I don’t have any work benefits and only cancel if it is a real emergency. I don’t charge any cancellation fee because I believe in the goodness of people’s hearts.

I have experience with newborns, toddlers and schoolers. I also have a certificate in first aid and CPR from the American Red Cross. I love pets, specially dogs, and I enjoy having outdoor activities, playing sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, swimming and gymnastics) but I'm also good doing crafts, art work, table games like chess or planning indoor activities if we have to stay at home. I'm responsible, trustworthy and hardworking. Non Smoker. I have a background and work in science, but I enjoy spending time with kids while babysitting.
