Hi! My name is Grace and I'm currently in school for my Masters in Social Work. I am offering child care and senior care. I love pets, too! Child care experience: I have 5+ years working with kids between the ages of 0-18 in educational and therapeutic contexts. I love playing sports, doing arts activities, exploring, & letting kids be themselves. I have experience cooking healthy, delicious meals, helping with homework, implementing bedtime routines, changing diapers, and helping out with chores. Senior care experience: I am someone who grew up spending time with my grandparents and great-grandmother, playing cards together, cooking steaks, riding horses, driving, and talking. I also spent a lot of time by my grandfather's bedside while he was passing away, helping him to be comfortable and to know that he was loved. In addition to offering my presence and connection, I am able to drive, cook, clean, do laundry, organize, and run errands, too. I hope to hear from you!
“We were so fortunate to have Grace care for our three children on an as-needed basis. She is kind, patient and thoughtful, and our kids always felt safe and happy in her care. Beyond childcare, she has a natural gift for working with seniors, offering both companionship and support with special needs in a way that shows genuine compassion. She is honest, trustworthy, and dependable. These qualities gave us peace of mind whenever she was with our family. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to help with their loved ones.”
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!
Hi! My name is Mayra, I’m a 29-year-old bilingual nanny (English & Spanish) with over 11 years of experience caring for infants and young children. I am Infant Qualified and have extensive experience in early childhood development from 0 to 5 years old, both as a nanny and as a teacher. CPR certified · Fully vaccinated · Good swimmer · Non-smoker Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of ages—from newborns to preschoolers—and I specialize in early stimulation, age-appropriate activities, and nurturing routines that support emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. I love creating engaging days through music, arts and crafts, sensory play, and creative activities. I incorporate Montessori and Reggio Emilia–inspired approaches into my daily care, encouraging independence, curiosity, respect, and learning through play. I consider myself a patient, loving, and responsible caregiver who truly enjoys building strong, trusting relationships with families.
Hello families! I’ve been a nanny for six years, I have experience in childcare since I was 18 years old, in my home country and here. I worked with many families in the area and I volunteer with school support in the past, I had 4 dogs and 2 cats myself so I love pets and if you have pets that is great, we will get along too. I’m currently working full time with a family and we have been together almost three years on this journey and they will be happy to share a recommendation for you. My goal is for your kids to have a nice time together as we play and learn safely and for you to trust they’re in good hands, I would love the parents to communicate any particular details, needs, even if it is small, a house rule, about the kids, if it’s important for you I’ll do my best. 🤍 excited to meet you!

"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!"
