I'm a caring and creative caregiver with hands-on experience as a preschool teacher, where I worked with children ages 2-5 for a full school year. In the classroom, I have worked with children with neurodivergence, including ADHD and autism. I have over 6 months of babysitting/nannying experience working with 8-month-olds to 11-year-olds. In addition, I am an eldest daughter who has basically raised my younger sisters, who are now in their late teens, so I technically have years of experience with up to 17-year-olds. I have an associate's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, giving me a strong understanding of developmental stages and age-appropriate care. I am also First-Aid & CPR-certified and fully vaccinated. My top strengths include planning engaging activities, encouraging imaginative play, and supporting children's growth in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I love helping kids learn, explore, and feel confident being themselves!
Hello! My name is Catalina, I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. While my first language is Spanish, I am actively learning English to improve my communication skills. I’m currently taking online English classes to become more confident in conversation. I absolutely love being around children of all ages, from infants to toddlers, and I take great joy in seeing them grow and thrive. I am a loving, energetic, and active person, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with kids—whether it’s engaging in fun activities or creative projects that help nurture their imagination. I have extensive experience caring for my cousins and friends’ children, and I also have a strong knowledge of nutrition, which allows me to ensure the overall well-being of the children in my care. I’m highly responsible, always on time, and dependable. I can drive, cook, clean, and run errands as needed.
“We’ve hired Catalina as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Catalina is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Catalina again!”
I’m originally from Colombia and recently moved to San Francisco from Colorado to continue my education while doing what I truly love—supporting families and caring for children. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Physical Education, and over four years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as an elementary school teacher, and during the past few years I’ve worked as both an au pair and a nanny, caring for children from 2 months to 16 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy planning creative activities, crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, and helping children learn through play. Families describe me as warm, caring, patient, organized, responsible, and dependable. I naturally take initiative, keep routines running smoothly, and love creating a calm, positive environment where both children and parents feel supported. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, organizing, errands, and pet care—whatever helps make your family’s day a little easier.
“We hired Itsa for household help. She was very efficient, punctual and was very good at the chores. She helped with laundry, light cleaning, dishes. On the personal front, she is polite and easy to talk to! We plan on continuing to hire her.”
Hello, My name is Anne and I’m a long-time San Francisco resident living in Bernal Heights. I love working with young people of different ages and have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’ve raised our own two kids and have worked with other people’s children on and off for over 25 years, as an educator and childcare provider. I’m nurturing, organized, and responsible. Being punctual and staying safe are my top priorities. I also love to have fun and go on outdoor adventures! I’m a positive and energetic person with a passion for languages, healthy food, and good stories. Informal training in theatre and expressive arts informs the creative work I do with children. While traveling and living overseas, I have lovingly gathered a mobile library of fun, interactive books in French and Spanish. When our children were young, I helped run a bilingual (Spanish/English) daycare program. I launched an arts program in our Spanish immersion elementary school, where I assisted in teaching art and literacy for over a decade. In tutoring older children for many years, I focused on English and French language skills, writing, and SAT prep. Other professional endeavors include working in the field of public health. I studied in the USA and in France. I am happy to help your family in any way you need. I have a safe car, excellent driving skills, and a clean driving record. I prefer not to do screen time with kids. I am AHA certified in infant/child/adult CPR and first aid. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 and am up to date on this and other immunizations. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up an interview. I have many excellent references, which I'm happy to furnish upon request. I look forward to working with you and your families!!!
“Anne is the absolute best. From the start, it immediately felt like we had a relative coming over to watch our 6 month old son for date night. Anne was punctual, asked all the right questions about bedtime routine, and her communication throughout the night allowed us to enjoy date night worry free! She is clearly a natural with kids. We look forward to having Anne watch our son again soon.”

"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!"
