Hello! My name is Yingzhou.I am a responsible, patient, and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience taking care of children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children can learn and grow. I can help with daily routines such as feeding, bathing, and bedtime, as well as preparing healthy meals, organizing activities and supporting school drop-offs, pick-ups, and extracurricular activities. I believe in positive communication, encouraging creativity, and giving children the attention and care they need. With more than a decade of childcare experience, I understand the importance of supporting parents, being reliable, and keeping an open line of communication. My goal is to make life easier for the family while ensuring the children are happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would love the opportunity to bring my energy, responsibility, and warmth to your family.

Hi! I am just ending 8 great years as an after-school nanny and family assistant and before that 7 great years as a preschool teacher, working with kids aged 2. 5 --5. I worked within 3 classrooms, experiencing all the ages from toddlers to pre-k. I have worked with children of all ages on some level - babysitting, preschool, after-school care, summer programs and tutoring - for the past 30 years. I naturally gravitate to children and get on their level pretty easily while also maintaining the responsibility and authority a child might need when not in the care of parents. My care philosophy is very child centered and respectful, similar to the philosophies of RIE, Magda Geber and play based learning. I am available for date nights, after school and weekend care. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read (my children's book library keeps growing), craft activities and cooking (bonus: I do the cleanup!).

Hi families! I’m Diamond, a proud Bay Area native and someone who has always had a natural love for caring for children. While I currently work in the legal field, caring for children has remained a meaningful part of my life for over 15 years, and it’s something I genuinely look forward to doing in my evenings and weekends. My experience with children started at a young age as a babysitter and grew into working for daycares and becoming a personal nanny for several wonderful families while I was in college. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children from newborns all the way through their teenage years, and I truly enjoy getting to know each child and learning what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. Since 2019, I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a Special Court Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected foster youth in the San Francisco Bay Area. Being a CASA has strengthened my passion for advocating for children and has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, consistency, and creating a safe space where children feel heard and valued. One of my favorite things about childcare is watching children grow and being someone they can feel comfortable around. In fact, many of the children I’ve cared for over the years have become like family to me. I don’t take that trust lightly. I believe in treating every child the way I would want my own children to be treated—with kindness, patience, respect, and genuine care. I also understand that every family is different. I’m happy to follow the routines and guidelines that are important to you, whether that means sticking to a bedtime routine, limiting screen time, accommodating dietary restrictions or allergies, helping with homework, or simply making sure your little one has a fun and engaging evening. My goal is for parents to feel completely comfortable and confident when they leave their children in my care. You shouldn’t have to wonder if your children are safe, happy, or being well cared for; I want you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family’s support system and, most importantly, to make sure your little ones feel safe, seen, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️

Hi, I’m Summer! I’m a preschool teacher and artist who absolutely loves working with kids. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was 15, from tiny babies to big kids, and I’m CPR, First Aid, and TrustLine certified. When I’m not in the classroom, I bring the fun to birthday parties as a face painter and balloon artist — so you can count on me to keep kids entertained with creativity, play, and lots of laughs. I love painting, singing, dancing, and exploring nature, and I enjoy sharing that joy with the children I care for.
