Hello, my name is Ginna , I’m 32 years old, and I live in Pacific Heights. I have over seven years of experience caring for babies and toddlers, including nanny share arrangements, and I’ve had the joy of working with several wonderful families across the Bay Area. I’d be happy to provide excellent references upon request. With kids, I love planning engaging activities—playgrounds, walks, libraries, museums, and play dates if possible! I’m very familiar with local spots like Lafayette Park, Alta Plaza, Broadway Park, and Moscone Park, where little ones can play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can grow and learn. I enjoy helping families establish routines that are not only consistent but also fun and educational. Families usually describe me as punctual, communicative, easy to talk to, honest, and reliable, which helps build a smooth and positive relationship with both children and parents. I’m bilingual (English and Spanish) and can naturally incorporate Spanish into activities if parents would like. I also help with children’s laundry, cleaning bottles, tidying toys, light meal prep, and other small tasks that support the family routine. I am CPR and First Aid certified, hold a valid driver’s license, and always bring patience, warmth, and a positive attitude to the job. I’d love the opportunity to meet your little one and learn how I can support your family. Best regards, Ginna
“Ginna was great with our 3 month old. Punctual, kind, and very experienced. ”
Hi, I’m Shelby! I have a bachelor’s degree in Music Education and three years of experience teaching in public elementary schools. I have been babysitting for 15+ years and also have two and a half years of experience as a full-time nanny. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and activities, tutoring, preparing meals, pet care, help with household chores, running errands, overnight care, and planning age-appropriate outings and activities. As a public school teacher, I worked with students with varying abilities and needs. I taught in both breakout special needs classes and integrated classrooms. I’ve also nannied for a child with autism. I’m a lover of all outdoor activities and enjoy active supervision and getting involved in play rather than just sitting and watching the kids. I also enjoy puzzles, arts and crafts, board games, music, books - anything that sparks a bit of creativity.
Hello families. I’m a career nanny with 30 years of experience. I’ve worked with prominent families in San Francisco for the last 27 years. I’m looking for part time mornings from 8:30/ 9am to 2:30pm 3 to 4 days per week. I’ve been with my current family for the last 2 years and the kiddos are going to school. I’ve been placed with top nanny agencies over the years, as well as run my own business with sleep consulting and training. I’m an infant specialist. CPR/First Aid certified. Trustlined. Have a clean driving record and own my car. In my free time I’m an artist, love being in the trees, and I study ancient history, along with plan trips to see ruins around the world. I’m two spirit/non binary. Please be an ally and in acceptance of all letters in the LGBTQ+ community. Please feel free to ask any questions that you have. I look forward to hearing from you.
My name is Leah, and I’d be happy to help out with your kiddos! A little about me — I’m a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, California, and recently moved to San Francisco. I’ve worked with children for many years as a camp counselor, tutor, and behavior interventionist for children with special needs. I also have several years of experience as a medical assistant, so I’m CPR-certified and have strong medical knowledge. I’ve been babysitting for about three years and have worked with kids of all ages. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, or extracurricular activities. I love being outdoors and doing creative projects like arts and crafts. My schedule is very flexible, and I have a car for any transportation needs. I’d be glad to provide additional information or references — I look forward to meeting you and your family!
Hi! My name is Sohyung, and I’m an international medical graduate currently living in San Francisco. I moved here with my husband and am currently studying for my U.S. medical board exams while looking for a meaningful part-time position. I was born in Korea, grew up in Canada, and have lived in several countries including Hungary, where I completed medical school. Growing up with a younger sister who was born when I was 13, I naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age. I’ve also worked part-time as an English teacher for children during university, which strengthened my love for working with kids. I am calm, responsible, and attentive, with a strong understanding of child development and safety due to my medical training. I genuinely enjoy engaging with children through creative play, reading, and educational activities. I would love to support your family in a reliable and caring way. Looking forward to connecting with you!
