About Me Hello! I am a caring, dependable, patient, and energetic childcare professional with many years of experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I currently work as a Head Teacher in early childhood education and an after-school program, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and hands-on learning experiences. I understand that every child is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, interests, routines, and individual needs. Safety, patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with children and families are very important to me. I am responsible, friendly, outgoing, and someone parents can feel comfortable having in their home and caring for their children. I believe children should feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged while also having fun. I am looking forward to connecting with families who need a reliable and experienced nanny or babysitter. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family and children can trust and depend on. Looking For I am looking for part-time, occasional, weekend, evening, or date-night nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I am happy to help with children's activities, playtime, reading, arts and crafts, homework support, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping children's areas organized. I am looking for a family that values a caring, dependable, patient, and experienced caregiver.
Hi, I’m Shelby! I have a bachelor’s degree in Music Education and three years of experience teaching in public elementary schools. I have been babysitting for 15+ years and also have two and a half years of experience as a full-time nanny. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school-age children. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and activities, tutoring, preparing meals, pet care, help with household chores, running errands, overnight care, and planning age-appropriate outings and activities. As a public school teacher, I worked with students with varying abilities and needs. I taught in both breakout special needs classes and integrated classrooms. I’ve also nannied for a child with autism. I’m a lover of all outdoor activities and enjoy active supervision and getting involved in play rather than just sitting and watching the kids. I also enjoy puzzles, arts and crafts, board games, music, books - anything that sparks a bit of creativity.
Hi - My name is Vivian. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids in my college years. ( I worked as teacher role of Montessori school.) I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. (I am also a great bridge partner!) I am happy to work with families with dogs and cats.
Hi! My name is Lily and I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology. I am looking for part time work while I finish up a few prerequisite classes this year. I babysat for several families consistently throughout high school, so I feel confident caring for children all ages. I was also a youth gymnastics coach for three years at UC Berkeley, so have experience creating a fun and positive environment while also prioritizing safety. I became EMT and BLS certified in 2022, so I am also able to respond to any health emergencies. Aside from childcare experience, I grew up with pets and have also house-sat for family and friends on many occasions, so am happy to help out with any of these tasks as well!
Hi there my name is Courtney! I just moved from Seattle to San Francisco and looking for work as a caregiver. I’ve been working in childcare for over ten years, and have my degree in early childhood education. I’m also a certified newborn care specialist and post partum doula! I’ve done nannying, babysitting, and teaching for so many families and have made life long connections with them!
