Hi! My name is Audrey and I’m a young professional looking for some occasional work/quality time with kids! I moved to SF from Vermont a few months ago after graduating from Middlebury College, and I now work full time at a nonprofit called Fast Forward. Now that I’ve been here for a bit and settled, I’m excited to find a family to work for. I have always loved spending time with kids, especially in the outdoors. I love to cultivate discovery and curiosity, and San Francisco is such an amazing city to be outside. I’ve been babysitting on and off for the past 10 years and have experience from infants to adolescents. I value hands on play and quality time with kids — they have so much to teach us! I love to cook, bake, hike, bike, and ski. Weekends during the day and weekday evenings are the best times for me.
Hello! My name is Alondra, I recently graduated from UCR and now back in San Francisco. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and all of my jobs have been working with kids. In high school I was an after school teacher/counselor and for summer I was a summer program teacher. In college I was a tutor for an elementary student and taught them Spanish. I am also a dog owner so I would also be able to take care of your pets.
Hi! I’m Giovana! 😊 I’m originally from Brazil and have been living in the Bay Area for about three years now. I’m a teacher in Brazil, and since moving to the us, I’ve been looking for opportunities where I can apply the experience I gained back home. I worked as a teacher for about four years before moving here, but I’ve always had kids around me! I grew up helping take care of my younger sisters and also worked as a nanny in Brazil. I was an au pair in the us for two years, and after finishing my program, I continued working as a nanny. I’ve now been nannying for a little over a year since then. I graduated in Brazil with a degree in Education/Pedagogy and also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. I’m mostly available on Fridays and weekends, and I’d love to connect with families who could use a little extra help during the weekend! 😊💕 • CPR certified • Advanced English speaker • Basic Spanish speaker • Valid driver’s license with no restrictions thanks families!
Hi! My name is Elena, I’m 31 years old and I’ve been working as a caregiver for babies and toddlers for the past 10 years. I have experience as a daycare educator in Italy (my home country), a 2 years experience as an au pair in the East Bay and several ones as a nanny here in San Francisco. I have good references and I genuinely enjoy taking care of kids. I consider myself emphatic, patient and attentive.
About Me Hello! I am a caring, dependable, patient, and energetic childcare professional with many years of experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I currently work as a Head Teacher in early childhood education and an after-school program, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and hands-on learning experiences. I understand that every child is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, interests, routines, and individual needs. Safety, patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with children and families are very important to me. I am responsible, friendly, outgoing, and someone parents can feel comfortable having in their home and caring for their children. I believe children should feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged while also having fun. I am looking forward to connecting with families who need a reliable and experienced nanny or babysitter. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family and children can trust and depend on. Looking For I am looking for part-time, occasional, weekend, evening, or date-night nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I am happy to help with children's activities, playtime, reading, arts and crafts, homework support, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping children's areas organized. I am looking for a family that values a caring, dependable, patient, and experienced caregiver.
