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, 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.

Hi Everyone! My name is Jamiah and I have been an educator for over fourteen years with many of those years in special-education/inclusion.

I now write curriculum for one of the summer programs I work for and after being a coordinator for both programs I am now a full time program manger. I am super into creativity and socio-emotional development along with education and safety. I pride my self in making children feel safe to learn and express themselves as well as discover who they are as individuals. I love supporting youth in all their endeavors and I truly have a natural understanding, patience, and connection with children.
