I’m Gabi and am currently an Associate Teacher for a 2nd grade class. Previously, I worked younger grades as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Additionally, I have experience babysitting kids as young as infants and toddlers to older children. I would love to connect with families. I understand that trust is a major factor and key role so I take my position very seriously. I love having silly and goofy moments with kids playing but also love to instill in them responsibility and good decision making. I would love to connect with you and can provide a reference if needed. I have always had a love for helping children from a young age. As a teacher, I have loved getting to know my students and creating bonds with them. I'm looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bright energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.

I’m Ale, a bilingual professional nanny with over 13 years of hands-on childcare experience and a deep passion for supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. I currently work full-time as a nanny in Pacific Heights, caring for a precious baby, and I’m now available for part-time care after 5:00 pm on weekdays and flexible weekends. My childcare journey began as an au pair in San Francisco, and since then I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I hold a degree in Philosophy and Literature, am CPR certified, TrustLine registered, and a Nanny Pro certified caregiver.

On weekends, I collaborate with TIFFAN.org, where I teach the in-person Nanny Pro course, mentoring other nannies on professional childcare, communication with families, and respectful, heart-centered caregiving. This role reflects my commitment to high standards, trust, and professionalism in childcare. I believe in nurturing independent, curious, and emotionally secure children. Whether it’s story time, imaginative play, park adventures, or calm evening routines, I bring warmth, reliability, and intention to every family I work with. Availability • Weekdays: After 5:00 pm • Weekends: Flexible • Location: San Francisco (Pacific Heights, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, nearby areas) I’m happy to provide excellent references and my resume upon request. For your peace of mind, I’m fully vaccinated (Tdap, MMR, COVID-19) and have up-to-date TB clearance.

NOTE: I am currently not accepting bookings. Sorry for any inconvenience! Hi! I am a young professional working in biotechnology. I started babysitting 7 years ago when I was in college and immediately realized how much I enjoy it! I am also a youth girls softball coach and umpire. I believe that kids should be in an environment where they can expand their minds while having fun! As a sitter, I am attentive and engage with kids, always joining to play imaginative games, sports, dolls, or whatever they are passionate about! In my free time I like to rock climb, play board games, play with my dog, and do embroidery. I have just moved to San Francisco and am looking to build my clientele base! I moved away from a few great families in Los Angeles but am excited to meet new ones! Note: I'm not currently responding to messages from Wellthy here. Other messages are welcome. Sorry for any inconvenience.

"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!"
