Hello, I have recently moved to San Francisco. I was a nanny in San Diego for many years while I loved there and am currently looking to find a weekend position so I can continue my passion. Please note I do ask for a 4 hour minimum for a one-time job and an added $50/per day for holidays.

Hi families! My name is Brenda. I am a San Francisco native :) I was an infant/toddler and preschool teacher and an early interventionist assistant for 8 years before transitioning to my current job. I also did tutoring for a few years for elementary school age kids when I was in college. I participated in different programs, such as PITC(Program for Infant/Toddler Care), to further my knowledge in the early childhood education field. Occasionally I babysit for family, friends, and other contacts, which I enjoy very much! Look forward to meeting your family! :)

Years ago, my first profile picture on this site was criticized by a potential family for being too strange. I picked one way stranger in response (me in a unicorn onesie) until the 2024 powers that be on this site recently called it inappropriate. So, now I’ve found one off the charts strange with my head half shaved in the middle of a home COVID haircut ;-). Children are SO important to me—yes that means physical safety, but for me it also involves emotional safety. I want deeply for children and young people to love themselves and find their voices as they grow, but to do that they need to see adults who appreciate and take joy in their own uniqueness. That, more than any resume point, is what I offer to kids and families with fierce commitment. I have worked with children and young people in a variety of settings for thirty years. In my early days there was the usual teenage babysitting. I have also worked for summer camps and non-profits--designing, leading, and overseeing children's activities and programs. Next, I taught 6th, 7th, and 8th grade English for the last thirteen years in both Southern California and the Bay Area, followed by ten years of nannying for children of all ages. Finally, I have started to move very organically into parental coaching, upon request of families I care/have cared for. I have special insight into neurodivergent kids and school engagement struggles. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, have taken expressive arts therapy training, and have had multiple experiences working with autistic young people, in addition to being autistic myself. I am happy to help older children with their English homework and do Elmo's voice for the younger children in the fort we just built :) I am tidy, punctual, and you will not find me on my phone or devices while my attention should be on your child. I love and appreciate the curiosity, creativity, kindness, and honesty of all children, and I look forward to being part of the village that helps care for yours. Thanks, Water pronouns: he/him newstoriescalling.com (for the time being, legally still: Chelsea Delaney)

Hello, I am seeking a part-time nanny position with over 10years of experience caring for newborns and school-aged children. My expertise includes engaging their age-appropriate activities such as playing games, reading books, crafting, and exploring outdoors while ensuring their safety well being.

Aside from that, my CPR/AED certification protects against unforeseen circumstances under my supervision. In addition, I am a highly punctual, hardworking, trustworthy caregiver who takes pride in putting extra effort into maintaining cleanliness and an organized environment, including tidying up after little ones finish enjoying themselves by picking up scattered around different areas within the designated workspace.
