Hi families! I’m a bilingual nanny (English & Spanish) with 5+ years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers.I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids can grow, learn, and be themselves. I love reading stories, dancing, playing basketball, listening to music, doing crafts, and spending time outdoors at the park. I’m dependable, creative, and truly enjoy connecting with each child in a unique way. I’m available weekday mornings and all weekends, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the kids. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! + I’m pet friendly 🫶🏼 + I’m taking classes for an associate degree in child development

I’m a mom of five amazing kids, ranging from elementary school to high school, with years of hands-on experience caring for children through every stage—from newborns and toddlers to teenagers. As a co-parent, I now have more flexibility in my schedule and would love the opportunity to support another family. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and miss the baby and toddler years. Whether it’s rocking a baby to sleep, reading stories, building forts, playing outside, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, or keeping bedtime routines on track, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and nurturing. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I would treat your children with the same care and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can count on.

“Such a professional and our girls took to her immediately. So helpful with cleaning up despite the chaos. I really appreciated her help so much. Thank you and highly recommend!”

Hi, my name is Faith- I grew up in and love San Francisco. When I'm not babysitting, I'm surf instructing middle and high school age kids, baking, or singing to my cat. I'm CPR and first aid certified for infants, toddlers, and adults. I have experience working with infants and toddlers both on outings and at home, and elementary school aged children at home, sleep away camps, and surf summer camps. I love reading with kids, as well as baking, doing crafts, or leaving the house to walk or go to the park. When working with kids I think it's important to have empathy and and patience, as well as respect for their boundaries and autonomy. I like to resolve conflict by making sure everyone feels heard and allowing children to feel and have space to process big emotions. I take care of my cat, Dumpling, at home, and I have experience feeding, walking, and sitting for dogs. I'm also always open to caring for other pets and broadening my knowledge. In terms of senior care, I 've had the opportunity to intern at the VA hospital in their longer term wards and HDU. I'm happy to provide check-ins, cooking or meal prep services, or companionship. House hold services I can help with are cooking/baking, cleaning, and laundry.

“Faith is super responsible and also super fun! Our son loves spending time with her. Highly recommend.”

** OUT OF TOWN UNTIL THANKSGIVING ** Hi! I’m Hannah, a student at Middlebury College. I’m in San Francisco for the summer and love to reconnect with families I’ve previously worked with and meet new ones when I’m home during breaks. I just completed a summer fellowship at SPUR (public policy org) and am looking for babysitting jobs before I go back to Vermont for my last semester! I offer part-time and occasional babysitting as well as pet care. I have 10 years of experience babysitting for families with children ranging from age 1 to 14. My responsibilities have included picking up from school, helping with homework, preparing meals, helping with bath/shower time and doing crafts/playing games. I’ve been described as empathetic, trusting, punctual, hardworking, and joyful by previous families. Besides babysitting, I love sports and have experience working as a junior soccer coach. I also love the outdoors and especially love helping kids engage with curiosity and joy in nature! During the summer of 2020, I also developed curriculum and led a virtual climate camp for 4th to 6th graders. Additionally, I worked as a virtual reading tutor during covid and am happy to provide homework support. At home, I have a cat and golden retriever pup and am a huge animal lover! I offer walking, feeding, and have experience with house visits caring for cats and dogs while their families are on vacation. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to connecting!

“Hannah was fantastic - my schedule was a bit up in the air and her flexibility was very much appreciated. She was great with the kids, they loved hanging out with her and had a full day of fun activities. Excited to have her back 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!"
