Hi families! My name is Leticia, and I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve been working as a nanny for over six years; I love helping kids not only have fun but also learn along the way. My childcare style is creative, energetic, and responsible—I enjoy arts and crafts, outdoor play, and reading stories. I’m also happy to help with homework, prepare simple meals, and keep routines running smoothly. Families describe me as reliable, warm, and ready to act. I truly enjoy creating a safe, positive environment where kids can thrive, and I look forward to hearing from you!
“Our daughter had a great time with Leticia! ”
I'm calm, positive, and responsible (and French). I like working with kids because they see the world in a way that makes it more beautiful. I love their curiosity, intelligence, and joy in little things. I'm looking for a part-time job (9 a.m. -4 p.m. ) since I have a little girl who needs her mom too, with a family where I can build a warm, trusting relationship with the children. I started working with kids when I moved to San Francisco a year ago. I picked up a 3 and a 5-year-old from school and helped with their workbooks, and looked after two girls, aged 2 and 4, with drawing, reading, and role-play. In May, I welcomed my own baby girl, my most full-time job yet! In my spare time, I like to walk, read, travel, and see friends. As a mom, I take your children's safety and well-being as seriously as you do. My skills: speaking French with kids through songs, books, and games; creative play like role-play, drawing, and baking; patience and reliability.
“Claire was amazing with our 13 month old, he absolutely loved her! Would definitely hire her again”
Hi! My name is Nia and I currently work in tech as a marketer. I have experience working as a teacher assistant in Montessori schools with children aged 6 months to 5 years, as well as other various babysitting jobs. I can provide homework help, transportation to activities, crafts, and outdoor activities. I play soccer and the piano, so I can also help your child enrich their skills in either.
a mother myself, I bring both personal understanding and hands-on experience in caring for children of all ages. I truly enjoy engaging kids in meaningful ways-whether through reading, painting, games, outdoor activities, or simply supporting their daily routines with patience and care. Families describe me as loving, reliable, and attentive. I'm also highly organized, a strong multitasker, and always punctual. Beyond childcare, I'm a dedicated yoga practitioner, naturally caring, and an animal lover. With excellent references available, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for your children.
“Jessica is INCREDIBLE. She’s a mother herself and so taking care of children is natural, intuitive, and she genuinely loves and cares for kids. She handled the full morning routine for my 3 kids when I was out of town, including driving them to school, and knocked it out of the park. We’ve had her support multiple times since. She is warm and lovely to be around. Jessica is truly a gem!”
Hi! My name is Ana Luiza, and I am 19 years old. I am currently at college majoring in Medical Assisting. I have been working with children for a couple of years and currently work at the Boys & Girls Club, where I help supervise children, assist with homework, organize educational and recreational activities, and create a safe, positive environment for kids of different ages. In addition to my current position, I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have extensive experience caring for children, especially newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 4 years old. I am comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, playtime, and bedtime routines. I am patient, responsible, caring, and energetic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. My experience working with families and in childcare settings has taught me the importance of communication, reliability, and creating a fun and nurturing environment for every child. I am fluent in Portuguese and English and also I speak a little bit of Spanish, which allows me to communicate with diverse families and even introduce children to a bilingual environment if desired. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I look forward to supporting families and providing loving, high-quality care for their children.
“Ana Luiza has looked after my son Anthony since he was just two months old; he loves her. She is very affectionate and caring. She takes excellent care of Anthony—whenever the daycare is closed for holidays, she is always there to look after him. She is trustworthy; you can confidently leave your children in her care, knowing she will look after them exceptionally well.”

"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!"
