Hi There, I have loads of experience caring for children. My personality is very nurturing, fun, understanding and artistic. - 2 AA degrees in Early Childhood Education and Studio Art. I was a preschool teacher at Bright Horizons at UCSF for 6 years. - DONA Post- partum Doula trained since 2008 - raised two children of my own who are now in college. I love giving space for children to be curious, creative and mindful. A few hobbies of mine are water color painting, Ikebana Flower arranging and gardening. I am looking for extra work to be flexible with my school schedule as I am working towards my degree in Art. References upon request. Kindest regards, Claudia

“Claudia is amazing! Our toddler is so shy and scared of new sitters and she made him feel safe instantly. She was lovely, super responsive, caring, and wonderful. We will hire her again and again!”

Booked by 5 families in Daly City, CA

Hi, I’m Leticia, and I’ve been taking care of children for over 7 years. Being around them reminds me that life can be light and fun. One of the things that I love most about being a nanny is seeing the world through their eyes, and also knowing that I’m helping a little person grow and develop brings purpose to my job. I have experience with children from infants to 12 year old, caring for kids of different ages and twins. I like to get to know the child I’ll be caring for so I can plan some activities based on what they like, but I also love spending time outdoors and doing creative activities like arts and crafts, pretend play, music, story time, etc. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a responsible driver, a non smoker, and pet friendly. I value open communication with parents and always try to create a warm, trusting relationship with the families I work with. I would love to talk more to get to know each other better and answer any questions you may have!

Booked by 4 families in Daly City, CA

Hello! My name is Nati :) I am an experienced childcare teacher who brings energy, warmth, and imagination to every family I work with. I’m currently a full time preschool teacher— I work primarily with 2’s and 3’s. Thus, I’m thoroughly experienced with multiple children at once!I’m also experienced with infants and older children! I'm a Yale student taking a gap year, which gives me the unique opportunity to dedicate my time to doing what I love most—working with kids! I am very artsy, love to read with kids, and am super-super playful!I believe in fostering a positive and supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. My time at Yale has also taught me the importance of curiosity and critical thinking—qualities I aim to inspire in the kids I work with. My other experience: I grew up in a home with young children and have babysitted since I was 13 years old. I have three years of professional experience working as the Youngest Campers Lead (ages 4-6) at Steve & Kate's Camp (a day camp) during the summer and winter breaks. When I’m not working with children, I love baking, reading, and going on hikes. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and skilled at managing busy schedules. I love to clean, cook, and play at the same time! I know that managing kids can be a handful, and I'd love to help you in any way I can!

“Very professional! Natalia was so great, she was very prompt, reliable, and caring. I would recommend Natalia to anyone with an infant because she’s very knowledgeable about what to expect according to their age and development (at 9 months of age in my case), and was very optimistic and positive. She was very empathetic and operated exactly according to my needs! ”

Booked by 4 families in Daly City, CA

Hi! I’m Alyssa, a 20-year-old college student currently studying Psychology. I’ve babysat for family and friends before, and I work at a daycare school for kids ranging from infants to elementary grades. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and able to connect with kids pretty easily. I also have experience with tutoring and enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to help with homework and meal prep when needed. I have a very flexible schedule for the summer and would love to help out! Looking forward to connecting!

“Alyssa was energetic, attentive and engaging. My daughter had an amazing time with her! ”

Maeve $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Maeve, I’m 29 years old and living in the Mission after moving from the East Coast. I’ve been caring for people of all ages since I was about 12 and genuinely love creating environments that are nurturing, fun, and driven by curiosity. I originally went to school for elementary education, and have a true appreciation for childhood development and learning through play. The majority of my experience is with the “little” years - most recently I nannied for a family with a 10 month old and 3 year old. I’m very comfortable with nap schedules and diaper changes, but also love the fun that comes with toddlers - energy, arts and crafts, and playing pretend. Beyond childcare, I have personal experience caring for seniors in my own family (specifically with dementia) and am comfortable in roles that require higher levels of responsibility. I’m a huge animal lover, and happy to help with pets as needed. I also never mind helping with meal prep, light housework, whatever is needed to keep the days running smoother. All in all, I’m looking to be a reliable & helpful extra set of hands for local families. I’d love to chat further about how I can help your household!

"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!"
