“We had Kelly back a second time so I’m updating my review. She was easy to communicate with, arrived on time, and followed instructions well. She is experienced with kids but also open to feedback which I appreciate. Our baby had some stranger danger, but Kelly stayed calm and worked to sooth him. She read books in Mandarin with my 5-year old and spoke to both kids in Mandarin as we asked. Thank you for your help, Kelly ”
Hi lovely families, I’m Maria, 52, high energy, artsy and positive thinking nanny with 38 years of professional child care exp. I’ve always had a special connection to kids. They are my people! I’ve been a long term nanny to two sets of twins from two families. The first set from ages 4-14. Next set from 4mos to 3yrs. I’ve taken care of hundreds of children from newborn to 17. I’m extremely proud of my first set of twins having graduated college in 2025. They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care. I love to spark creativity by helping children discover new things each day through play, reading, music, singing aloud, creative arts and limiting screen time. I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs) while making sure to meet disciplinary and educational goals for each child. Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers.

Hello! My name is Corinne and I'm a student at CCSF studying to become a nurse. I've lived in San Francisco for three years and enjoy biking, hiking and knitting in my free time. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, in groups or individually. My responsibilities have included leading online schoolwork during the pandemic, and I'm comfortable tutoring and helping with homework. Outside of schoolwork, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading to children, and arts and crafts. I also have worked as a chef, and love to cook for families and teach children age-appropriate cooking tasks if they're interested! I'm CPR certified for infants, children, and adults and certified for Basic Life Support and First Aid. I'm happy to help with clean-up, errands, cooking, and other household tasks. I am also comfortable working with families with pets.
“Corinne was a dream to work with and our kids loved her! We’re still hearing stories a week later of all of the fun they had. Corinne made everything feel stress free and went with the flow, which was exactly what our family needed. Highly recommend! ”
Hello wonderful San Francisco Families, With over 20 years of experience working with children ranging in age 0-12, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in early childhood development. I hold a formal education in teaching, which i have continuously applied throughout my time I support and nurture young learners. My professional journey includes roles as both a former au-pair and a full time nanny, where i developed strong, lasting relationship with families and provided attentive, individualized care for children. Throughout the years, I have been committed to helping families create supportive and enriching environments for their children to thrive. I am cpr/1st aid certified, fully vaccinated (dtab, covid, flu). I received my Masters Degree in HR management, but I have always had passion to coming back and working with little ones again. I hope you will consider my candidacy and let me help you with taking care of your little ones. Best, Mila
“Mila is the best and has a way with children where my daughter who truly does not warm up easily ran up to her after first meeting. She is loving and caring and just so grateful we found her! ”
I am patient and I love to spend my time with kids, I'm very sweet and funny, so I get along really well with them. I'm also creative when I teach. And last but not least, I am very independent, so I will adapt easily.
“From the very first day, Diana was punctual and reliable, always arriving on time. My kids adore them and often talk about the fun games they play together. Diana has a great way of keeping my children engaged with creative activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play. Diana is one of our best sitters, and we highly recommend her!! ”

"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!"
