Certified teacher and currently a School Psychology graduate student, with professional experience as a Special Education teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District. My background includes working with infants and toddlers (3 years) as well as over 8 years supporting school-age children in both school and home settings. Experienced in supporting children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and emotional or behavioral challenges. Known for being patient, warm, empathetic, and reliable, I focus on emotional regulation, clear routines, and creating a calm, safe, and supportive environment for children. I enjoy engaging children through educational play, age-appropriate activities, and consistent routines. I adapt easily to each child’s needs and temperament and value open, clear communication with families. Available for occasional babysitting, date nights, and evening or weekend care. Fluent in English and Spanish (native Spanish speaker from Spain). Comfortable working in bilingual households and happy to be around pets.
Hello my name is Hana! I love working with infants and children. I have a BFA in graphic design and believe that encouraging creativity in children is very important. I am willing to watch children with parents working from home or away, help with household chores and distance learning.
Hello families! My name is Dany, and I am a dedicated preschool teacher with over 6 years of experience working with young children. I have taught in private schools in Los Angeles, Florida, and San Francisco, where I have helped children learn and grow through play-based, hands-on experiences. I believe every child learns best when they feel safe, loved, and supported. My childcare style focuses on building strong relationships, encouraging creativity, fostering independence, and making learning fun through play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate educational experiences. Before becoming an educator, I worked in customer service and fashion, which helped me develop strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills. I am reliable, patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy creating meaningful connections with both children and families. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, arts and crafts, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s care and development!
I'm a college neuroscience student starting summer break hoping to catch some babysitting/nanny jobs outside of my research internship hours. I have four years of babysitting experience with up to six children at a time and a variety of ages from infant to elementary school. I am a neuroscience TA so I know how to teach and help with homework, and I volunteer with kids at California Academy of Sciences. I am CPR/BLS and first aid certified! Let's connect :)

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
