I'm a career nanny currently looking for weekend opportunities to work with newborns to fulfill requirements for my Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula certifications. I taught elementary school for 3 years prior to being a nanny, and have been a full time nanny for 4 years. I approach child care (and most things in life) with calmness and understanding. I love building relationships with kids and watching them grow. Please reach out if you’d like a few hours of additional support with the newest member of your family!
“It is with both gratitude and sadness that we share this recommendation for Amanda, who has been not just our nanny for the past year and a half, but truly a part of our family. We are relocating, and while we are excited for what’s ahead, leaving Amanda behind is one of the hardest parts of our move. When Amanda first came into our lives, we were coming off of a less-than-ideal experience with another nanny. From the start, she completely changed how we viewed having someone care for our children. Her calm, steady presence and the gentle, loving way she interacts with our kids put us at ease right away. She meets each child where they are and connects with them in a genuine, heartfelt way. Our children bonded with Amanda quickly, and it’s clear how much they love her. She is endlessly creative—whether it’s researching new activities, planning fun outings, or setting up thoughtful crafts, she always brings fresh ideas that are engaging and age-appropriate. She has been such a gift in helping our kids learn, play, and explore the world around them. She’s the one who got our son hooked on books, happily reading with him for hours. One of the things we appreciate most is Amanda’s calm and grounded nature—we have never seen her lose her cool. She is never distracted or on her phone; when she is with our kids, she is fully present and engaged. On a practical level, Amanda is everything you’d hope for in a caregiver: punctual, professional, dependable, and communicative. She always checked in with us and approached everything as a true teammate. We trusted her completely and relied on her every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s impossible to overstate how much we’ll miss Amanda, and we wish she could come with us. Any family lucky enough to work with her will quickly realize just how special she is. While we may be moving, Amanda will always be a part of our lives and our children’s lives—her impact on our family is lasting.”

Hi families! I’m a bilingual nanny (English & Spanish) with 5+ years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers.I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where kids can grow, learn, and be themselves. I love reading stories, dancing, playing basketball, listening to music, doing crafts, and spending time outdoors at the park. I’m dependable, creative, and truly enjoy connecting with each child in a unique way. I’m available weekday mornings and all weekends, and I’m happy to help with light housekeeping related to the kids. I’d love the opportunity to support your family! + I’m pet friendly 🫶🏼

Hi, I’m Theo (: (pronounced Téo). I have worked in childcare and early education for 10 years. My educational background is in Child Development and Youth Mental Heath, currently working as a High School therapist in SFUSD. Teenagers are incredible, but I do cherish the special moments of childhood and caring for little ones as they grow up. I specialize in supporting new parents during the early years, especially with routines, developmental milestones, and play. My approach is a strength based, family-centered practice. I am infant & child CPR certified, good driver with a car / license, and fully vaccinated with recent booster. Due to my profession, I am only available for occasional care.

I’m bilingual in Spanish and English, and references and recommendation letters are available upon request. I would love to find a wonderful family to grow with!

"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!"
