Booked by 5 families in Daly City, CA

Hello! I’m Berkeley I have been working as a nanny, full and part time for 20 yrs. 15 of those years in San Francisco. I’ve truly enjoyed working with so many wonderful families and their cool kids over the years! Currently looking for a variety of work opportunities with new families. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for pet care and house sitting, and household services. Particularly good at keeping homes tidy, organizing, and helping in the kitchen. Experience with premature babies through 12 years old. The last 10 years almost exclusively with multiple children, siblings and twins. Mostly newborns and toddlers. The majority of jobs I’ve had started in infancy and transitioned into toddler years. My childcare style is patient, kind, calm. I have a solid understanding of developmental stages, age appropriate activities, and assistance in reaching learning milestones. Strong emphasis on communication and safety! I’m accustomed to the responsibilities of outings and activities, playdates, getting kids to the park is a favorite. I especially like being helpful in the kitchen with cooking and food prep. Used to handling kids laundry, bottle cleaning and sanitation, meal preparation, toy cleanup, keeping home tidy. Also happy to help out with light pet care around the house. Staying organized and adhering to schedules. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Sincerely, Berkeley B

“Berkeley was an incredible nanny for our little one, from when he was about 6 months old to one year old. She’s extremely punctual, reliable, communicative, and tidy— and most importantly, so sweet and attentive with our baby. Going back to work was so hard, but Berkeley made that transition so much easier. We hope to see her again for random babysitting, etc.!”

Booked by 69 families in Daly City, CA

Hi Parents :) My name is Saray and I've been Nanny for the last 16 years and a mom to an almost 4 yr old and 2 month old. I've always loved working with kids since it’s been something that comes naturally to me. I love working with all ages but really enjoy the Newborns-Toddler age. I've worked with families with 1-3 kids at a time including share cares. I'm responsible and attentive to a child's need. I am fluent in Spanish and English. I have my own transportation with a clean driving record. I am also certified as a postpartum doula. I am always on time and flexible when schedules change with advance notice. I make it my only priority to tend to your child or children when working with your family. I really enjoy being able to interact with kids and teach them new things as well as learning from them.

Booked by 13 families in Daly City, CA

My name is Lilian but everyone calls me Lily. I’m from Mexico City. I was an au pair for two years and been working as a nanny for more than four years now. I have over 1000 hours of experience with kids from 4 months old to 13 years old. I’m responsible, open minded, outgoing and flexible. I love to do any kind of activities, outdoors and indoors! Being an au pair during the pandemic gave me a lot of personal and professional resources to make the children have a good time and learn. I have a BA in Developmental Psychology, an MA in Sociology and currently doing a PhD in Education. I’m bilingual, so I can help with Spanish/English homework or assignments or just to practice both languages. The most important thing for me will always be the security of your kids so I'll make sure that they are safe in every place we are. That being said, I’m fully vaccinated, boostered and COVID cautious. I don’t have a car but I do have driver’s license and clean record, so driving in parents car won’t be a problem. And my main means of transportation is my e-bike that takes me everywhere! I have excellent references from all the families I have worked with if they are needed!

“Lily is wonderful! She helped our family out both as a babysitter and mother's helper and I could not recommend her more. She was punctual, reliable and really caring and nurturing with my daughter. We can't wait to work with Lily again.”

Booked by 11 families in Daly City, CA

Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m a 23-year-old college student with years of experience caring for both children and animals. I work as a veterinary assistant, and also worked at a Boys and Girls club. I truly love helping and caring for others—whether that means keeping kids safe and engaged or making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. I’m reliable, responsible, and patient, and I take pride in creating a safe and positive environment. I’m available most evenings and early mornings, which is perfect for morning dog walks or helping get children ready for the day. My hourly rate is flexible depending on ages and specific needs. While I don’t have a car, I’m dependable with scheduling and committed to showing up on time. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your family or pets — feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Isabella was amazing with our 15 month old who has major stranger danger! Isabella was able to win over our daughter immediately and our daughter had a great time with her! Isabella is great!”

"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!"
