Hi, I'm Jennifer and I'm 43years old. I live in San Francisco, Ca. I have been taking care of children, with and without special needs, for over ten years now. I have over 32 units completed in child development, and work as a head teacher for Tinycare at Mission Bay Infants. I have extensive special needs experience! I have current Covid and boosters, CPR, First Aid, TB, DPT and Flu vaccine. I am experienced in food allergies and organic diets. I also know basic sign language, and have worked with families who use the sleep training method. I pride myself in providing engaging and stimulating activities instead of having children sit in front of a tv all day. I have worked as a live-in, live-out and on-call nanny. Some of my favorite activities to do with young children are singing, fingerplays, lots of reading (I love to read!), going on outings to parks, musuems, etc. For older children I love to incorporate activities that have an educational value too, like learning about history, science, etc in a fun and exciting way. I also do lots of art projects and music. I have quite a collection now, both from working in a school, different families and materials I have purchased. Children who I meet are always super excited to go through my "nanny bag" which I prepare for each family depending on the age of the children. Some of my interests are reading, writing, swimming, bike riding, going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I have excellent references and a resume available.

Hi, my name is Theresa! I’m an artist, violinist, psychology undergrad, and aspiring marriage and family therapist. I’ve been: • Babysitting for four years with ALL ages, infants and older! • A reading mentor to develop reading skills in younger children • A behavioral therapist/counselor who works with neurodivergent youth • An assistant/helper doing chores and other tasks • A pet sitter for both dogs and cats CPR/BLS certified with American Heart Association. Clean driving record and owns a car. Fully vaccinated and will wear a mask if necessary! Can provide recommendations. I’m an easygoing, gentle, and kind person. I have a very calm demeanor. I’m extremely patient with kids and really do love them, despite the challenges that can come with babysitting. They’re so sweet, and never fail to make me laugh or smile. My favorite things to do with kids are: • Outings • Drawing • Reading • Games (i love minecraft and a lot of nintendo games) • Naps (who doesn’t like nap time?)
“Our 15 month old took to Theresa very quickly! She read with him and they played together while they got comfortable and then they did the whole bedtime routine. She was conscientious about safety, following our house guidelines and routine, and very sweet with him. We look forward to having her back. ”
Dear Families: I AM LOOKING FOR A JOB DURING WEEK MORNINGS FROM 7:00 AM UNTIL AROUND 3:00 PM. There is some flexibility. My name is Maria Elena. I’m originally from El Salvador. I hold a valid California driver's license. I've lived in the Bay Area for 33 years. I earned an Associate Degree in Arts and completed 12 credit units in early childhood development. I have 20 years of experience working with children from infants to 10-year-olds. Activities: I truly enjoy spending time with children doing a variety of activities, from reading books to exploring places nearby, such as the library, the Zoo, museums, aquariums, and parks. I am also happy to care for the children's things and help with light organizing and cooking simple meals. I expect to work in a good environment and offer the best of myself to the children. Please, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
“Elena arrived early, and was caring and professional. My toddler enjoyed playing with her! Would love to have her care for him again. ”
Hi, Moms and Dads! 👋 I have over 15 years of childcare experience as an au pair, nanny, tutor, and occasional babysitter. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love and enjoy! I'm an energetic, creative, fun-loving, patient, and responsible person. I naturally connect with children and love creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where they can learn, explore, and have fun. My Childcare Experience I spent two wonderful years as an au pair, caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. During my first year, I cared for two adorable children, Luca (3 years old) and Milly (7 months old). My daily responsibilities included preparing meals, feeding, diaper changes, potty training, dressing, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and maintaining their daily routines. Beyond their everyday needs, I loved planning fun and educational activities! We spent our days reading books, singing songs, doing arts and crafts, playing board games, visiting playgrounds, attending Gymboree classes, and exploring museums and the zoo. I also prepared homemade baby food and helped support the children's developmental milestones. During my second year, I cared for Madeleine, a wonderful 6-year-old girl. We had so much fun exploring the Bay Area together! Some of our favorite destinations included the Oakland Zoo, Lawrence Hall of Science, Chabot Space & Science Center, Pier 39, Dolores Park, and Dracena Park. On rainy days, we enjoyed indoor activities such as ceramic painting, ice skating, and indoor play centers. Before becoming an au pair, I also volunteered at a kindergarten for nearly a year. I helped children with their daily routines, meals, and personal hygiene while organizing educational games, creative projects, and activities to teach colors, numbers, and basic skills. A Little More About Me I'm a Chemical Engineer, and I have a master's degree in Engineering Management from CSU, East Bay. I currently work full-time as a Project Manager for a construction contractor. Still, childcare continues to be a meaningful part of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with children, encouraging their curiosity, supporting their development, and making wonderful memories together.I believe that children learn best when they feel safe, happy, respected, and encouraged to be themselves. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in caring and responsible hands.
