Hi! I’m Lili, a San Francisco nanny with nearly 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and school-aged children. Families I work with describe me as reliable, warm, and someone their kids genuinely look forward to seeing. I currently work with several repeat families in neighborhoods like Pacific Heights, Cole Valley, Inner Sunset, and the Marina. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Business Administration. My education, combined with years of caregiving, has strengthened my communication, patience, and problem-solving skills. I love creating fun and engaging routines for kids that balance play, creativity, and structure. Whether we’re doing art projects, exploring outside, reading together, or working on homework, I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I have experience with school pickups, bedtime routines, meal prep, outdoor activities, and helping kids wind down at the end of the day. I especially enjoy working with school-aged children and helping with homework, creative projects, or practicing Spanish through play and conversation. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in Spanish, and have my own car so I can help with transportation if needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help families with light household support such as kids’ laundry, tidying play areas, meal prep, errands, and general organization. Families I work with appreciate that I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to each child’s needs. I do my best to follow each family’s routines and preferences so kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.

Hello, I am currently available for part-time or one time caregiving support. I am looking to supplement my retirement by continuing to do what I am most passionate about—working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 17 years of experience as a paraeducator in special education. In addition, I have 18 years of experience as a respite provider working with ambulatory clients on the autism spectrum. For the past 3.5 years, I have also served as co-owner and teacher at an infant daycare. The last two years I’ve helped with my daughter’s different foster babies (ages 3 days- 2 years) after work and on the weekends (Currently there are no fosters.) My experience is further informed by being a parent to a child on the autism spectrum, which has deepened my understanding, empathy, and commitment to quality care. I would welcome the opportunity to offer supportive, compassionate, and reliable care to your family. I have my immunizations up to date: Covid 12/25- Booster Flu 12/25 TDAP 5/22 MMR 6/22

Hi. My name is Pamela and I have been a childcare provider for over 20 years. When I moved to the Bay Area in 1989, I worked at St. Johns Infant -Toddler Center. From there, I moved to working with preschoolers then finally, I got my teaching credential. I have been working with elementary school children in Oakland since 1993. I love spending time with kids. I make up weekend field trips with my students and dream of having my own weekend outing association for kids in the future. I enjoy taking kids to parks, making up crazy songs and stories and basically being creative. I always bring new, fun things for kids to engage with- clay, cool pop-up books, spinning toys... I feel very comfortable with children and it's mutual. I don't believe in plopping kids in front of a screen when I babysit. I engage them in fun activities and make sure they are never bored. I believe in eating healthy and try to support families if they have that same belief. Go out, have fun and know that your children are in competent hands!
