I have worked as a babysitter since high school, I'm very patient, fun, and creative so it's easy for me to come up with activities to keep ourselves busy. I'm also an excellent cook and an English teacher, so I can help with homework if needed.
Hello parents! I’m an experienced, exceptional San Francisco nanny available for occasional help on weekends or evenings. After spending over 9 wonderful years working as a full-time nanny for a family with 3 boys in the Marina District, followed by 4 years with a family in Russian Hill … just started to support the new family in The Presidio. I drive around the city in the SUV with 3 car seats/ boosters. About me: • Education - Professional early childhood educator with a Preschool Teacher Diploma from Poland. • Experience - over 15 years of experience as a nanny (working with newborns up to age 9) and family assistant in San Francisco • Personal background - single mom who successfully raised my own son. I am over 50 but young at heart, very active and energetic. • Childcare style - patient, emotional support, responsible, punctual, outdoor exploration, creative, and well organized. • Activities and engagement - I love arranging engaging indoor and outdoor activities. I especially enjoy introducing kids to art and craft projects. We often go on "adventures" together to discover all the fun, new things the city has to offer children. “My" kids end up with thousands of wonderful photo and video memories, a collection of cozy hand-made hats and blankets (I love to crochet!), and their very own Spotify playlists filled with their favorite songs. • Recommendations and testimonials - children often call me "the best nanny ever." and in the last recommendation letter I was described as a “Marry Poppins” 😅 Parents describe me as: an amazing, extraordinary, and truly exceptional nanny. A loving, attentive, warm, and trustworthy caregiver. Completely reliable, honest, punctual, and a professional self-starter. Energetic, playful, imaginative, and highly resourceful. Extremely knowledgeable about child development with a wonderful rapport with children. All of my recommendation letters are available to read in person during our interview. Spending time with children brings me an immense amount of joy and satisfaction, and I look forward to supporting your family! Availability: Weekdays - after 5:15 PM Weekends - flexible

"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!"
