Booked by 4 families in Daly City, CA

I started nannying after leaving my job as a TV producer when my son was born in 2004. Since then I've cared for numerous newborns, babies, and toddlers, including several sets of twins. The last few years I've had the joy of nannying my niece's twin boys who just turned 4. As preemies, they required specialized round-the-clock care that I was privileged to be part of. Now they're healthy, happy, and enjoying preschool, so my time has freed up and I'd love to share it with other babies and little ones. Most recently I’ve cared for a new set of twin boys, in addition to two separate 4 month old girls. Because I’m not looking for full time work, my schedule is often flexible. One of my hobbies is photography, so you can expect plenty of photos of your little one throughout our time together.

“Bonita is so wonderful! She watched our daughter Olive starting from when she was just three months old—we were nervous to have someone besides us take care of her so young, but Bonita is so good with babies and made us feel comfortable immediately. She’s incredibly reliable, flexible, and just a really kind and warm person. Can’t recommend her enough!”

My name is Caitlin and I am a fully qualified early childhood educator with eight years of professional experience. I love working with young children and guiding them through their development, and enjoy engaging in fun activities with them such as art projects, pretend play and reading books. Building trusting relationships with children is something I take pride in, and I am known for my calm and nurturing personality. I am currently a lead preschool teacher, working with children ages 3-5, and have also been lead teacher for a two year-old class. I have earned a bachelor's degree in Child-Adolescent Development, along with a minor degree in Special Education. Other certifications I have include child and adult CPR and first aid.

“A wonderful teacher we have worked with at our school. She is beloved by all the kids for her easygoing manners and especially our own kid as well. We are always delighted to have her over!”

My name is Teresa but you can call me Tete. I am 30 years old and I was born in Mexico. I am offering child care, animal care and household services. When I was fourteen years old I entered an orphanage as a volunteer for children between zero and twelve years old. In the years I was not a volunteer, I babysit for a neighbor and worked at children's fairs. For the past 5 years I’ve been working with kids on the autism spectrum. From that experience I realized the great influence that we can be for children. We have the opportunity to teach them to be better human beings and at the same time we can learn from them despite their young age. Also animals are a big part of my life I have a lot of pets back in Mexico and I earned experience taking care of them. I drive since I was 17 years old and I have more than 5 years driving here in the United States.

"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!"
