“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! 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!!”

Hello, my name is Michelle. I am a mother of adult children and a proud grandmother of eight. I have been caring for children for many years, including helping raise my grandchildren from newborn through school age. My oldest grandchild is now 28, and my youngest is 9. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. Most recently, I cared for a baby boy for a year until the family relocated. In February, I also helped a family by caring for their 3-year-old and assisting as a mother’s helper after they welcomed a newborn. In addition to childcare, I have experience with school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I am comfortable with flexible, changing schedules. I provide household support services during the evening hours. My responsibilities include folding laundry, meal preparation, cooking dinner, cleaning up after meals, loading and unloading the dishwasher, and vacuuming kitchen and dining areas. I worked with a family in San Francisco for over three years, both before and after COVID. During that time, I assisted with laundry, organizing kitchen cabinets, closets, and children's wardrobes, maintaining kitchen cleanliness, and preparing vegetables and ingredients for the week. I am flexible and dependable, and I am happy to take on whatever household tasks are needed to help keep a home running smoothly and efficiently. I also provide pet care and dog sitting, as I truly love animals. I am reliable, nurturing, and experienced, and I would be happy to support your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. ⸻

“Michelle was very punctual and communicative! Thank you Michelle!”

"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!"
