Hello! My name is Clara and I currently work for the city of SF managing child nutrition programs. In the years prior, I completed my B.A. in Sociology/Anthropology at Swarthmore College and my M.S. in Food and Nutrition Policy and Programs at Tufts University. I have experience as a camp counselor, nanny, teacher, and babysitter but my primary passion is food and cooking. I'm happy to introduce your child to healthy eating or basic knife and cooking skills! *PLEASE NOTE* I do require a minimum of 3 hours in order to accept a job. My minimum outside of SF is 4 hours. My rate for one child is $30/hr, my rate for two is $35/hr, and my rate for 3 is $42/hr. These minimum rates are non-negotiable. I strongly prefer cash, credit, or check. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.

From October 2023–May 2024, I cared for two dogs full-time for 7 months while my roommate traveled for business weekly. I’m comfortable with all pets and have no allergies. 💼 Professional & Educational Background 🎓 UC Irvine graduate with Honors (B.A. in Political Science, 3.9 GPA). 🌍 Languages • Native: English, German, Swiss German • Proficient: French • Beginner: Spanish 💛 My Personality My friends & family describe me as a sweetheart.

Hi there! I’m Naweera, and I have several years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from 9-month-old infants to children over 10 years old. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, reliable, and warm, and I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to childcare. I also have experience as a tutor, so I’m happy to help with homework across subjects like math (algebra, geometry, trig), English, and the Arts. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light cleanup, and I’m also great with pets. I like to keep kids engaged through activities, games, and conversation rather than just screen time. I especially enjoy spending time with children outdoors and fostering curiosity through activities that engage their minds and senses, such as reading, nature walks, creative play, arts and crafts, and other hands-on experiences. Happy to provide references upon request. I can't wait to meet your family!
