Hi! My name is Eileen and I am so excited to work with you and your family! I have worked with children in a variety of roles from being a camp counselor, camp director, preschool teacher, and an elementary school teacher. Depending upon what you are looking for in a nanny, I can provide support in many areas. I look forward to working with your children and creating magical memories! Please note that my fiancé is immune compromised, and as such, I am unable to sit for any children who are sick. I have to be super careful since any illness could lead to time in the hospital for him. Thank you for your consideration!

Eileen was aaaaaaaamazing! I gave little instruction and she knew exactly what needed to be done. Enthusiastic, helpful, lively. Would definitely hire again and again. Thank you so much, Eileen!!

Hi families! My name is Catherine. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree, but I love working with children on the side, as I have always loved working with youth. I understand how instrumental it is for children to have someone patient, supportive, and caring to support their growth and well-being. I have been caregiving for children, from infants to preteens (8m-12y) for about 5 years now. I used to work as a Camp Counselor during the summers, which taught me multitasking, patience, and problem-solving, amongst several valuable lessons. I have also grown up babysitting outside the app, building valuable and meaningful connections with several families and caring for their little ones! My responsibilities consisted of organizing and maintaining each child's schedule, organizing playdates, assisting with homework, organizing and providing creative projects and arts and crafts, assisting with light housekeeping duties, and maintaining bedtime routines! I understand that choosing a caregiver for your children is a significant decision, and I take that trust very seriously. My goal is to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and encouraged to be themselves. Additionally, I am offering pet care and household services. I am extremely comfortable with dogs/cats, as I grew up around them. Can work around their diets, schedules, playtime, and routines! Grew up with three very large American Bulldogs, so size is not an issue for me. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs of all breeds! My ultimate goal is to ensure families and individuals can rely on someone to look after their pets, little ones, or receive a helping hand with household services! I am also open to interviews if needed. Thank you for your consideration!

Catherine is really great with my daughter, it’s been great having her take care of my daughter while I am at home working. She arrives on time, talks and reads to my baby. She stays engaged with my baby and is able to get her to nap.

ROTA Nanny | Private Household Specialist | 10+ Years Experience as a nanny Hi! I’m Bianca — I am a professional ROTA nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages in private households. I specialize in rotational (ROTA) nanny positions and have extensive experience working in fully staffed homes, travel roles, and long-term private family placements. I bring a calm, nurturing, and reliable presence into every home, supporting children from newborn through school age. I am CPR & First Aid certified and have completed Newborn Care Specialist training. I love creating engaging, playful, and developmentally rich days — including story time, sensory play, outdoor activities, creative projects, and hands-on learning experiences. Families describe me as intuitive, patient, and easy to communicate with. I value strong teamwork with parents and helping create stable, peaceful routines where children feel safe, seen, and supported. At the moment I am not seeking part-time or traditional weekday roles. I’d love to connect with families looking for experienced ROTA nanny support.

Looking forward to working with Bianca again!

Hello, I have recently moved to San Francisco. I was a nanny in San Diego for many years while I loved there and am currently looking to find a weekend position so I can continue my passion. Please note I do ask for a 4 hour minimum for a one-time job and an added $50/per day for holidays.

As a recent graduate of UCSC and moved back to the Bay Area. I am passionate about working with children and have a strong background in educational and caregiving settings. I hold a CPR certification and am eager to continue learning and teaching. Growing up in a family of Montessori educators, I was deeply involved in the school my mother and sister worked at in Pacifica, volunteering and gaining hands-on experience. Over two years, I also worked with Mad Science of the Bay Area, leading after-school and summer programs for children ages 3-12. This experience included engaging activities and educational experiences to foster creativity and learning. Additionally, I have provided nanny care for multiple families, including caring for sets of twins and a family of four, where I was responsible for coordinating activities, preparing meals, and providing tutoring support. Since relocating from Santa Cruz County, I worked at Tara Redwood School as an assistant teacher, supporting children ages 2-9 in a variety of classroom settings. In addition, I have experience dog-sitting and house-sitting, providing a well-rounded skill set in both caregiving and home management. I am excited to continue applying my experience and nurturing qualities to help children grow and thrive.

We've worked with Crystal for a while now and, while I'm behind getting her review in, I can now speak with experience that she is wonderful to work with and very good with our three kids. They look forward to her coming and we feel totally at ease leaving them in her care. We're very grateful for her kind demeanor and thoughtful caretaking!
