I am a rising third-year college student with three years of driving experience, making me highly flexible and reliable for pickups, drop-offs, and last-minute schedule changes. I have 1–2 years of experience caring for toddlers and infants, and 2–3 years working with kids ages 4 and up—handling everything from daily routines and homework help to planning fun activities and outdoor play. I am exceptionally organized and proactive around the house, and I am more than happy to assist with household chores, light cleaning, and keeping things tidy. Outside of childcare, I work in real estate on the side, which has further sharpened my organizational, communication, and time-management skills—qualities I bring into every home I work with. As someone who grew up with both cats and dogs, I also have firsthand experience managing pet routines and behaviors. Because of this, I'm incredibly comfortable pet-sitting and managing a full, multi-pet household if needed. Overall, I am independent and calm under pressure, and I always treat every family's home, pets, and routines with the utmost respect.

I build a connection with kids through outdoor activities and sports. I am very patient and always open to listening and understanding.
Hello parents! I’m Basia an experienced, professional San Francisco nanny looking for an additional family to support. After spending over 9 wonderful years working as a full-time nanny for a family with 3 boys in the Marina District, followed by 4 years with a family in Russian Hill, my schedule is shifting. Starting in September - when all the children will be in school - my hours will decrease to 26 hours per week. Because of this change, I am looking to help another family - the best would be Glen Park or Russian Hill / Marina neighborhoods… also on the way between. About me: • Education - Professional early childhood educator with a Preschool Teacher Diploma from Poland. • Experience - over 15 years of experience as a nanny (working with newborns up to age 9) and family assistant in the US. • Personal background - single mom who successfully raised my own son. I am over 50 but remain very active, young at heart, and energetic. • Childcare style - patient, responsible, punctual, creative, and well organized. • Activities and engagement - I love arranging engaging indoor and outdoor activities. I especially enjoy introducing kids to art and craft projects. We often go on "adventures" together to discover all the fun, new things the city has to offer children. “My" kids end up with thousands of wonderful photo and video memories, a collection of cozy hand-made hats and blankets (I love to crochet!), and their very own Spotify playlists filled with their favorite songs. • Recommendations and testimonials - children often call me "the best nanny ever." In my recommendation letters, parents describe me as: an amazing, extraordinary, and truly exceptional nanny. A loving, attentive, warm, and trustworthy caregiver. Completely reliable, honest, punctual, and a professional self-starter. Energetic, playful, imaginative, and highly resourceful. Extremely knowledgeable about child development with a wonderful rapport with children. All of my recommendation letters are available to read in person during our interview. Spending time with children brings me an immense amount of joy and satisfaction, and I look forward to supporting your family! Availability: Weekdays - 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM and/or after 5:00 PM Weekends - flexible
