Cared for newborns (preemies & twins) and infants to preschoolers! Families’ references include the words caring, nurturing, patient, honest, flexible, punctual and playful , with me being called “Aunty” by the little ones who easily adapt to and are comfortable with me. Keeping open communication about their day and evening activity with parents is a priority, while focusing on their safety and maintaining a clean environment with no distractions from electronics. Being available for sleep training and transitioning babies from breast/bottle to solid food are invaluable. Along with a keen awareness of developmental goals and providing age appropriate educational activities as little ones grow, are proven examples of an experienced, well educated caregiver who strives to maintain a calm, respectful and positive family structure.
✨ Hi families! 🤱🏻I’m Maria, and I’m a loving, responsible, attentive nanny with years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants to toddlers — since I was 16. 📍I’m currently based in San Francisco and actively looking for a ✨full-time nanny position✨ where I can offer my full dedication, warmth, and energy. 🌱 I provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment filled with creativity, play-based learning, and lots of affection. 🎨 I love singing, storytelling, and playing in both English and Spanish, helping little ones grow through fun and meaningful activities.📚 🩺I am certified in Baby First Aid/CPR/AED and have completed Advanced Child Care Training with the American Red Cross. 🧚🏻♀️I’m punctual, kind, and deeply respectful of each family’s values, routines, and parenting styles. I would be honored to become a supportive and trustworthy part of your child’s day-to-day life. Let’s connect — I’d love to meet you and your little ones!
“Maria was absolutely wonderful with our 16-month-old! She arrived right on time, bonded with our daughter instantly, and made her feel comfortable and happy. She was super helpful, and her warm personality shines through in everything she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our little one was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
Hello there! I’m Yelyzaveta, you also can call me Ellie — a trustworthy, experienced caregiver who’s loved working with children since I was 11. My childcare experience began with my nephew (diapers, doctor visits, feeding, baths, bedtime, homework help) and continued after I moved to the U.S. in 2022, when I lived with a family and cared for their 1-year-old and 3-year-old for over a year. My duties included meal preparation , daycare drop-offs and pickups , bathing, educational play, storytime, museum outings, and building routines that made the day calm and fun. I still help their family occasionally. I’m patient and attentive — when a child is upset I give them space, check they feel safe, and help them name and work through their feelings. I bring creativity to play (arts & crafts, building, interactive games), read aloud with enthusiasm, and support early learning and motor skills. I’m also comfortable with light household tasks while children nap, and happy to help with cooking and homework support. Outside of childcare, I work as a café lead. I hold a degree in Food Technology and plan to study something different in college. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. People describe me as organized, responsible, and caring. I’m always more than happy to have a chat or a quick call with potential families so we can discuss details and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children!
Hi! My name is Rebecca, I am 24 years old, and a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I currently work part time as a Partnership Coordinator for the childcare non-profit Nurture, and as a behavioral class aide to autistic elementary students. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I believe that play-based learning in a structured and nurturing environment is the key to healthy childhood development. 🌱 I love arts and crafts, can help with homework, and can drive to/from school. I love cooking and am happy to work with animals as well! 🐾 I have extensive experience in child care as I have been a family babysitter since I was 15 years old. I have also worked through IHSS as a caregiver for a high support needs autistic woman with an intellectual disability. These experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of accommodating different learning styles. Additionally, I have experience caring for an elderly family member with dementia, which then transitioned into end-of-life care. As an undergrad, I was a dedicated member of the Sage Mentorship Project. I served as a mentor and Program Director for students at Sylvia Mendez Elementary and Fairmont Elementary. I’m excited to meet you and your family! ☺️
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.
