Booked by 8 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi families! My name is Leticia, and I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve been working as a nanny for over six years; I love helping kids not only have fun but also learn along the way. My childcare style is creative, energetic, and responsible—I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor play, and reading stories. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, and keep routines running smoothly. Families describe me as reliable, warm, and ready to act. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids can thrive, and I look forward to hearing from you!

“Our daughter had a great time with Leticia! ”

Victoria 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a CPR/AED‑certified caregiver and STEM tutor who pairs a calm, reliable presence with truly engaging, age‑appropriate activities. My background includes mentoring and outdoor supervision, accessibility support for students with disabilities, and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science & Management. Families who hire me get a safety‑first professional who communicates clearly, follows through, and creates structure kids thrive in. My care style blends warmth with intention. I build simple routines that make days run smoothly, then layer in enrichment: story time and sensory play for little ones; crafts, nature walks, and beginner science experiments for school‑age kids; study skills and math/science tutoring for preteens and teens. I’m patient, adaptable, and great at meeting each child where they are—especially when a quieter, steadier approach makes all the difference. I bring advanced training and hands‑on experience that high‑expectation families value. I’m CPR/AED certified and trained in accessibility from directly assisting a blind student with note‑taking, reading, and exam support. I’m food‑safety informed and meticulous about home standards—tidy spaces, prepped snacks, organized activity areas, and smooth transitions. I’m also outdoorsy and happy to plan healthy, active time outside whenever appropriate. Day to day, I can handle school pickups, homework and test prep, light meal prep, kid laundry and room reset, activity planning, and bedtime routines. I’m pet‑friendly and comfortable integrating care with family schedules and house rules. Expect proactive updates, clear boundaries delivered with kindness, and thoughtful problem‑solving if challenges come up. If you’re seeking a dependable sitter who delivers both exceptional care and meaningful enrichment, I’d love to support your family. References are available upon request, and I’m happy to align on routines, goals, and a schedule that fits your needs.

“Victoria helped me watch my two boys. She’s great with pets too. She’s a reliable and kind care giver. She’s great with sports and arts and crafts. She encouraged my kids to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Tori is a trustworthy babysitter/nanny.”

Hi. I'm Mica, I’m 27 yo and I'm from Argentina. Currently in Outer Richmond, SF. I’m a full time nanny with an amazing family at outer sunset (one year old baby) and previously with a family from Tiburon (5, 3 and 1 years old siblings) At the moment I’m looking for some extra jobs like date nights or weekends positions at the moment. Open to evening part time roles. Back in Argentina, I was a child’s psychology student. I loved this experience and encouraged me to keep working with kids! Through this years I had the opportunity to work with different families which gave me a lot of experience when it comes to babies and kids. I had the pleasure to work with different families situations. Teen angers, single childs, twins and 4 siblings at the same time! I consider myself full of love, energy, ideas and patience. I am a really easy-going, sociable and communicative.

“She was amazing, both boys had so much fun with her. She was very punctual and friendly. I’m sure my boys would be excited to play with her again.”

I'm calm, positive, and responsible (and French). I like working with kids because they see the world in a way that makes it more beautiful. I love their curiosity, intelligence, and joy in little things. I'm looking for a part-time job (9 a.m. -4 p.m. ) since I have a little girl who needs her mom too, with a family where I can build a warm, trusting relationship with the children. I started working with kids when I moved to San Francisco a year ago. I picked up a 3 and a 5-year-old from school and helped with their workbooks, and looked after two girls, aged 2 and 4, with drawing, reading, and role-play. In May, I welcomed my own baby girl, my most full-time job yet! In my spare time, I like to walk, read, travel, and see friends. As a mom, I take your children's safety and well-being as seriously as you do. My skills: speaking French with kids through songs, books, and games; creative play like role-play, drawing, and baking; patience and reliability.

“Claire was amazing with our 13 month old, he absolutely loved her! Would definitely hire her again”

“We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her. ”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
