Laura has been an absolute gem for our family since September 2025. She brought a level of reliability and care that immediately put our minds at ease — she has truly become part of our family. What sets Laura apart is her genuine dedication to our son's growth and happiness. She speaks both English and Spanish with him, giving him the gift of early bilingual exposure, and consistently seeks out engaging activities and toys that keep him stimulated and learning. We also appreciate how clean and organized Laura is, giving us tremendous peace of mind while we're away. Most importantly — our son loves Laura, and that says everything. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone truly exceptional.

Hi families! I’m a bilingual nanny (English & Spanish) with 5+ years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers.I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids can grow, learn, and be themselves. I love reading stories, dancing, playing basketball, listening to music, doing crafts, and spending time outdoors at the park. I’m dependable, creative, and truly enjoy connecting with each child in a unique way. I’m available weekday mornings and all weekends, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the kids. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! + I’m pet friendly 🫶🏼

Sarah was great with our eight month old! He was immediately comfortable and happy with her

Booked by 5 families in Sausalito, CA

I'm a career nanny currently looking for weekend opportunities to work with newborns to fulfill requirements for my Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula certifications. I taught elementary school for 3 years prior to being a nanny, and have been a full time nanny for 4 years. I approach child care (and most things in life) with calmness and understanding. I love building relationships with kids and watching them grow. Please reach out if you’d like a few hours of additional support with the newest member of your family!

It is with both gratitude and sadness that we share this recommendation for Amanda, who has been not just our nanny for the past year and a half, but truly a part of our family. We are relocating, and while we are excited for what’s ahead, leaving Amanda behind is one of the hardest parts of our move. When Amanda first came into our lives, we were coming off of a less-than-ideal experience with another nanny. From the start, she completely changed how we viewed having someone care for our children. Her calm, steady presence and the gentle, loving way she interacts with our kids put us at ease right away. She meets each child where they are and connects with them in a genuine, heartfelt way. Our children bonded with Amanda quickly, and it’s clear how much they love her. She is endlessly creative—whether it’s researching new activities, planning fun outings, or setting up thoughtful crafts, she always brings fresh ideas that are engaging and age-appropriate. She has been such a gift in helping our kids learn, play, and explore the world around them. She’s the one who got our son hooked on books, happily reading with him for hours. One of the things we appreciate most is Amanda’s calm and grounded nature—we have never seen her lose her cool. She is never distracted or on her phone; when she is with our kids, she is fully present and engaged. On a practical level, Amanda is everything you’d hope for in a caregiver: punctual, professional, dependable, and communicative. She always checked in with us and approached everything as a true teammate. We trusted her completely and relied on her every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s impossible to overstate how much we’ll miss Amanda, and we wish she could come with us. Any family lucky enough to work with her will quickly realize just how special she is. While we may be moving, Amanda will always be a part of our lives and our children’s lives—her impact on our family is lasting.

I’m a credentialed middle school science teacher in San Francisco with 4+ years of classroom experience. I’m calm, reliable, and enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my young nephews and supporting family members through end-of-life care, which has deepened my patience and attentiveness. I have a near-perfect driving record and am happy to help with school pickup, homework, and outdoor activities.

Asia has been a wonderful family member and occasional caregiver to my elementary age oldest kid. She also can take on the two younger ones, who are twins of preschool age. She was so sweet and helpful with them when they were infants and is great with kids at the toddler age as well. Asia is organized and good at rolling with kids’ curiosity and playfulness. She is also a thorough communicator and a great partner in babysitting. If you ask her to pay attention to a certain thing or leave you some information about how the day went, she will go above and beyond. She is great at checking her messages and staying in touch, as well. Highly recommend. Five stars. 😉
