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 🫶🏼

Hi, I’m Theo (: (pronounced Téo). I have worked in childcare and early education for 10 years. My educational background is in Child Development and Youth Mental Heath, currently working as a High School therapist in SFUSD. Teenagers are incredible, but I do cherish the special moments of childhood and caring for little ones as they grow up. I specialize in supporting new parents during the early years, especially with routines, developmental milestones, and play. My approach is a strength based, family-centered practice. I am infant & child CPR certified, good driver with a car / license, and fully vaccinated with recent booster. Due to my profession, I am only available for occasional care.

Hi! I’m Sofía Moreno from Colombia. I have more than 5 years of experience as a nanny, including 2 years in the United States, caring for children from 3 months to 7 years old. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and creating fun, engaging activities such as going to the playground, the beach, museums, or for walks. I also love painting, making crafts, dancing, and encouraging learning through games and creative activities. Additionally, I have a degree in language teaching and experience working with children from elementary through high school. I often apply pedagogical techniques to support children in their language development and help improve their speaking skills in a natural and enjoyable way. I would love the opportunity to talk with you and learn more about your family. Don’t hesitate to contact me!
