Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years experience supporting families and kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a warm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is positive, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).

Hey there - I’m Jasmine! I have loved working with children for as long as I can remember and have worked with many families as a babysitter and part-time nanny over the past 10 years. I have experience with all age groups from newborns to teens, but have primarily worked with babies and toddlers. I am experienced with bottle feeding, diaper changes, bathing children, feeding solids, and putting children down for nap/bedtime. I strive to provide a fun, engaging, safe and developmentally appropriate environment for your children to thrive in! A little more about me! I’m originally from Los Angeles and have called San Francisco home for almost a decade after initially moving here to get my BA in Communication from USF. I previously worked in corporate HR. In my free time, I enjoy: reading, going to the movies, baking bread, building legos and cuddling with my two kitties, Junie & Louis! I am currently open to part-time (mornings only) and/or occasional jobs. If you have any questions for me please don’t hesitate to reach out to set up an introductory call!

5 years experience as lead teacher at a Preschool in Fairfax. Associate Preschool Teacher degree with 12 ECE units. I can usually respond within one or two hours.. Patient, calm, ready to play and be of service! Originally from Toronto, I live in Fairfax and have been in the Bay Area for 16 years. My experience looking after children started in the 70’s with my own baby brother, babysitting throughout my teenage years, a young step-son and more recently my teaching work at a Preschool. I love being with all children and playing, helping with homework, reading, art, languages and piano. I look forward to hearing from 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!"
