Hi, my name is Maryanne! I’m a local college student working towards my degree in Marine Biology. I worked at the Randall Museum, I got to take care of the museum animals and also teach field trip classes! I’m currently working as a Vet Tech at Veterinary Hospital in the Marina part time! I have about 7 years of babysitting/nannying experience, I’ve worked with children from 2 months-13 years old. Caretaking and teaching is something I truly love doing. I am also CPR/First Aid Certified! I enjoy activities that include arts, crafts, nature, and music! Growing up in San Francisco has given me so much love for the arts as well as the beautiful parks in the area

“Maryanne is great! She arrived early and immediately jumped into play with my preschooler. He usually freaks out when we leave, but he was having so much fun with Maryanne already that he didn’t even want to pause to say goodbye 😂 ”

Booked by 11 families in Daly City, CA

I’m a caring, patient, and dependable mother of two with hands-on childcare experience, including nannying and over three years of volunteering with children through my church’s children’s ministry, a Christian school, and USF children’s programs. I’m CPR certified and have also completed an EMT course, which provided me with foundational knowledge of emergency response and basic medical care. Children’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As both a mother and caregiver, I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they can genuinely trust. I’m attentive, responsible, organized, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities, including creative play, reading, outdoor activities, and educational games. I’m also comfortable assisting with meals, homework, school routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. I believe in building positive relationships with both children and parents through patience, communication, and consistency. I’m currently seeking part-time nannying and babysitting opportunities where I can provide dependable, loving care and build lasting relationships with families.

“So warm and responsible! ”

Hi! I’m Lauryn. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I spent 5 years in child care as a preschool teacher at Action Day Schools, a babysitter for multiple families, and a substitute teacher with Child Care Careers. I can keep kids engaged with games, crafts, creative activities, trips to the park, reading, or simply letting them lead the fun. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, tidying up after activities, and whatever else helps make your evening easier. I am comfortable taking care of children with special needs and have been active in the autism community my whole life as my older brother is autistic. Also, I used to volunteer for 4 years in high school at the local SPCA and am comfortable with any pets you may have :) As a sitter, my priority is making sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to respect the varying routines and parenting styles of any family. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel confident that your little ones are in good hands :) I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be a helping hand when you need it! 💕

"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!"
