Hello! My name is Annika - I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’ve been working with children for nearly seven years now, and have experience tutoring all age levels. I grew up on a farm, so I’m very comfortable taking care of furry (or scaly) friends too! I’d be happy to help around the house - cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and running errands.

“So kind and sweet with our 3 month old baby! Thank you again for all your help today. :) ”

Hello - My name is Thalia, a preschool teacher (graduate) with extensive experience in ages between 1-15. In Brazil, I worked as a preschool teacher and I also worked as a private tutor for children from bilingual schools. Originally from Brazil, I’m 27 years old and I have been working as a nanny here in San Francisco for +1.5 years and I love what I do! Ps: I have over 10 years of experience working with children in my home country as a nanny and a teacher. I’m kind, flexible, easygoing and very patient and people usually describe me as a calm and very proactive person. In my routine as a nanny I can cook, drive and help with everything related to the children. I also love going for walks, playgrounds and of course, teaching the little ones and helping them in their daily development. I don’t have any allergies and I love animals! I’m pretty much open to work with families that have pets! I speak both English and Portuguese! My English level is advanced and my native language is Portuguese! Want me to teach Portuguese to your kids? Let me know! CPR/FIRST AID CERTIFIED ✅ Any questions are welcome!
