Danna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Danna and I am currently an English teacher. I am offering childcare. I have always loved working with children since they are very imaginative and very cute when they are discovering the world. With over 3 years of experience working with children in various settings, I have developed strong patience and responsibility. I am highly organized and love creating fun and educational activities for young ones. My passion include reading, music, traveling, crafts, and outdoor activities. I am a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and I have basic French language skills.

Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hi! I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable caregiver with 4+ years of childcare experience. I spent 3 years working in an after-school program with children ages 6–12, and for the past 1.5 years I’ve been caring for two wonderful children who are now 2.5 and 5 years old. I’ve also cared for infants (4–9 months old) through occasional babysitting jobs, so I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, and bedtime routines. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, which gave me a foundation in child safety, health, and development. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have reliable transportation, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down with a bedtime routine, I love keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Paulina arrived on time and was sweet and professional! She took great care of my 4-month old baby, played with her, fed her, and rocked her to sleep

Lolly $35 per hour for 1 child

I have been a preschool teacher for toddlers for almost 9 years. I have a certificate in infant and toddlers care. I love to take the kids to the closest playground so they can explore in nature and interact with other children. We make lots of art activities and sensory experiences. I help in the process of potty training.

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a deep love for working with children.Though I don't have children of my own, I speak Spanish and I could teach them. In my free time, I enjoy dance, hike, and swimming. I have a great references of my ex jobs .

Our family cannot say enough good things about Yami. She has been our nanny for the past six years and we hate to see her go! Our youngest is starting full-time preschool this fall so we no longer have a need for a full-time nanny. Yami has helped us raise all of our children since they were newborns. She is the kindest, gentlest, most cheerful nanny you could ask for. She is also extremely reliable, eager to help out around the house and very deferential to what parents want. We hope she can find an amazing next family to work with.
