Hi families! My name is Brenda. I am a San Francisco native :) I was an infant/toddler and preschool teacher and an early interventionist assistant for 8 years before transitioning to my current job. I also did tutoring for a few years for elementary school age kids when I was in college. I participated in different programs, such as PITC(Program for Infant/Toddler Care), to further my knowledge in the early childhood education field. Occasionally I babysit for family, friends, and other contacts, which I enjoy very much! Look forward to meeting your family! :)
“Brenda is very friendly and reliable. Our daughters loved her, would definitely recommend.”

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to school-age children and teenagers. I also have experience as a teacher, which has helped me become patient, creative, organized, and comfortable adapting to each child’s personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, planning fun activities, helping with routines, meals, homework, transportation, and keeping their environment safe and organized. I also absolutely love animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, flexible, attentive, and always respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for both children and pets!
“Luiza was fantastic! She arrived on time and my kids were thrilled with her. She even worked with all three of them on learning activities. ”

Hello everyone, my name is Savannah. I am a teacher at Go Kids Inc and I have been there for 3 years. I currently work with children ages 6-12. Prior to my job at Go Kids I was a 2 year old teacher. I am also a graduate student working towards getting my Masters degree in Education for School Counseling with my PPS credential. I am looking for job opportunities Friday-Monday as I am working throughout the week. I am also open to talking about something during the week, but I get off of work at 6pm. Can't wait to meet you!
