Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!

Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.

Hello, I am seeking a part-time nanny position with over 10years of experience caring for newborns and school-aged children. My expertise includes engaging their age-appropriate activities such as playing games, reading books, crafting, and exploring outdoors while ensuring their safety well being. I have successfully completed child development courses during my college tenure, which has equipped me with valuable knowledge on supporting young minds to grow holistically through playful learning experiences tailored to each individual's needs & preferences. Aside from that, my CPR/AED certification protects against unforeseen circumstances under my supervision. In addition, I am a highly punctual, hardworking, trustworthy caregiver who takes pride in putting extra effort into maintaining cleanliness and an organized environment, including tidying up after little ones finish enjoying themselves by picking up scattered around different areas within the designated workspace. I can help with light housekeeping, cooking, picking up the kids from school and laundry. I am looking forward to hearing from mommies & daddies!

I have 10+ years of babysitting experience, including caring for the same family for 8 years—from when the child was a newborn through age 8. That experience taught me how to handle everything from infant care to school routines with patience and consistency. I’m reliable, easygoing, and love spending time with kids—whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m also big on clear communication with parents and making sure everyone feels comfortable.
