Hi! My name is Helia and I'm currently a new graduate working full time in San Francisco. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am an older sister to two siblings and have worked as an afterschool nanny throughout university to a twin boy and girl. My responsibilities have included pickup from school, homework help, and taking them to and from activities. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Additionally, during COVID I used to hold art classes for students ages 3-5 as a way of entertainment and social connection throughout quarantine.
Hi! I’m Darria, with over eight years of childcare experience. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and kids, ensuring they are safe, happy, and engaged—whether it’s pick-ups, playtime, or mealtime. I’m also a great cook and love helping with household chores to keep your home neat and comfortable. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, fun, and dependable caregiver, I’d love to support your family. I look forward to connecting with you!
“Darria was lovely. She was so warm and loving towards my 4 month old son, and tidied the house up during his nap without me asking. ”

CPR certified · Fully vaccinated · Good swimmer · Non-smoker Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of ages—from newborns to preschoolers—and I specialize in early stimulation, age-appropriate activities, and nurturing routines that support emotional, cognitive, and physical growth.

I incorporate Montessori and Reggio Emilia–inspired approaches into my daily care, encouraging independence, curiosity, respect, and learning through play.

Hello families! I’ve been a nanny for six years, I have experience in childcare since I was 18 years old, in my home country and here. I worked with many families in the area and I volunteer with school support in the past, I had 4 dogs and 2 cats myself so I love pets and if you have pets that is great, we will get along too. I’m currently working full time with a family and we have been together almost three years on this journey and they will be happy to share a recommendation for you. My goal is for your kids to have a nice time together as we play and learn safely and for you to trust they’re in good hands, I would love the parents to communicate any particular details, needs, even if it is small, a house rule, about the kids, if it’s important for you I’ll do my best. 🤍 excited to meet you!
