Booked by 1 family in Pacifica, CA

Hello - My name is Thalia, a preschool teacher (graduate) with extensive experience in ages between 1-15. In Brazil, I worked as a preschool teacher and I also worked as a private tutor for children from bilingual schools. Originally from Brazil, I’m 27 years old and I have been working as a nanny here in San Francisco for +1.5 years and I love what I do! Ps: I have over 10 years of experience working with children in my home country as a nanny and a teacher. I’m kind, flexible, easygoing and very patient and people usually describe me as a calm and very proactive person. In my routine as a nanny I can cook, drive and help with everything related to the children. I also love going for walks, playgrounds and of course, teaching the little ones and helping them in their daily development. I don’t have any allergies and I love animals! I’m pretty much open to work with families that have pets! I speak both English and Portuguese! My English level is advanced and my native language is Portuguese! Want me to teach Portuguese to your kids? Let me know! CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED ✅ Any questions are welcome!

“A super attentive and flexible girl. She helped me a lot! Very kind and professional. I highly recommend it.”

"Every child you encounter is a divine appointment." —Wess Stafford Hi, I’m Tiffany! An optimistic, fun, and patient caregiver with a passion for working with children of all ages. I believe in fostering creativity, learning through play, and creating a nurturing environment filled with laughter and positivity. While we try to teach children about life, children teach us what life is all about. Why Choose Me? ✔Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified ✔ Experienced & Trustworthy: As the eldest of three, caregiving has been second nature to me. With a 9-year age gap between my younger brother and me, I’ve helped guide him from toddlerhood through his teens—assisting with schoolwork, projects, activities, and transportation. My baby sister, now 3, keeps me on my toes, and I cherish every moment of it! ✔ Professional Childcare Background: Beyond babysitting for family and clients (ages 1.5+), I’ve worked as an after-school teacher’s assistant at Sunshine Learning Center (K-2) and Best Friends Learning Center (Grades 1-6). I also served as an administrative assistant at a children's art studio, where I helped kids (5+) explore their creativity. ✔ Pet Lover & Experienced Dog Walker: With over 12 years as a dedicated dog owner, I understand that pets are part of the family too! I also have hands-on experience dog-walking for clients, ensuring their furry companions receive the care, attention, and exercise they need. Education & Career: I studied at Arizona State University and currently work as a Realtor. While my professional path is in real estate, my love for working with children has remained a constant throughout my life. If you're looking for a reliable, engaging, and caring nanny who will treat your child like family, I’d love to connect! Let’s create wonderful memories together.

“We had a great experience with Tiffany. She was on time and very engaged. My son was shy at first, but he warmed to her quickly.”

Booked by 6 families in Pacifica, CA

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Nicole, I am a current college student and offer child care, pet care and housekeeping services. Some skills I have include painting, arts and crafts, playing sports such as basketball and football, martial arts, and dancing. I also provide household services such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and cooking. I love being a child caretaker and making them smile and having fun with them! I have several years of experience in taking care of children especially preschoolers and the ages of 4-6. I also had experience teaching elementary school children about healthy living and have experience tutoring children. I also have several years of experience taking care of pets such as dogs, rabbits, and birds as a pet owner.

“Nicole exceeded all of my expectations. My son can sort of take advantage of new sitters but she did amazing. She jumped right in starting playing with him, helped make dinner so I could get ready, gave my son a bath (which wasn’t a requirement nor did I think he would want one), and got him AND his best friend to bed. Both children under 4. She was communicative the entire time she was at my house. My son woke up in the morning asking where she went because he wanted her to stay. Will definitely be using her again in the future. ”

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Pacifica, CA

Hi, I’m Leticia, and I’ve been taking care of children for over 7 years. Being around them reminds me that life can be light and fun. One of the things that I love most about being a nanny is seeing the world through their eyes, and also knowing that I’m helping a little person grow and develop brings purpose to my job. I have experience with children from infants to 12 year old, caring for kids of different ages and twins. I like to get to know the child I’ll be caring for so I can plan some activities based on what they like, but I also love spending time outdoors and doing creative activities like arts and crafts, pretend play, music, story time, etc. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a responsible driver, a non smoker, and pet friendly. I value open communication with parents and always try to create a warm, trusting relationship with the families I work with. I would love to talk more to get to know each other better and answer any questions you may have!

"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!"
