**Not available from Jan 17- Feb 7, 2026** Please make sure to read before booking: Hello, My name is Maria and I'm 70 years old. Yes, I understand than that's older than most nannies on here but I'm still very active and I love kids. I've been babysitting since I was young, being that I'm the oldest of seven siblings. Most of them see me as a mother figure now. I have my own kids, or should I say adults now, who are 34 and 32 years old. So I pretty much know how to raise children. I have nannied for couple families (ages ranging from 4-14), my longest being seven years with the same family. I pretty much became part of their family. I would cook, clean, watch the dog, drive her to activities, drop her off and pick her up from school, etc. I've also nannied triplets, so I'm pretty comfortable with that too. I have a great driving record and a safe, reliable Prius C. * Because I am older now, I prefer jobs that do not include driving children* Although my english isn't that great, please have patience with me, I understand it perfectly. I'm also fluent in Spanish. The past couple years, I've been a caregiver for an older couple but I have decided I want to go back to nanning. I like having an impact on kids when they're young. I'm looking for occasional jobs right now. I look forward to meeting you and your child/children.

Hi! My name is Eileen. With 15 years of experience working with children aged 3 months to 14 years;—I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. Whether engaging in creative play, helping with homework, or supporting developmental milestones, I enjoy and take pride in contributing to each child’s overall enrichment and well-being. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Health and Disease from USC, providing me with a solid understanding of child development, health, and safety. I’m also CPR certified, ensuring I am well-prepared to handle any situation with care and professionalism. If you’re looking for a dependable, energetic nanny who values creativity, education, and fostering meaningful connections, I’d be glad to support your family in helping provide a happy, enriching environment for your children!

“Eileen has been looking after my 10 month old daughter and 3 year old son. She is a kind and warm soul who treats toddlers and infants with grace and respect. She is quick to bond and laugh with the kids but she can also be firm when the situation (tantruming toddler) requires it. She is creative and imaginative, loves to do arts and crafts, spend time outdoors, read stories or talk about the kids' favorite subject for hours. She is reliable, always on time, and all in all a joy to work with. She respects the personal space of our family and adjusts to our work and personal life routine seamlessly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Eileen.”

Hello families! I’m a responsible, kind, and patient person who truly enjoys caring for children with love and respect. With my background as a healthcare professional, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, families, and seniors, which has made me more empathetic, humble, and attentive to people’s needs. I’m friendly, adaptable, and happy to collaborate with household tasks, always bringing a positive attitude. Every day I strive to keep growing personally and professionally, and I’d be honored to bring that same dedication and warmth to your family.

“Viviana was so wonderful!! My son who usually cries when babysitter arrives was all smiles and felt so comfortable! ”

Please read thoroughly before requesting!! Thanks so much for viewing. If I am applying to YOUR post for a one time sit, I will accept the rate at which you’ve set. Please check my calendar. Please don’t request any days that are unavailable. NOTE: Will accept jobs that have a dedicated parking space or ample parking available in the neighborhood as I'll be driving to your location. In addition, if your child or anyone in the family is sick or suspects COVID, please do not book or if I have already approved the sit, please cancel. I want to protect my health and you and your families health so please be respectful. Current Availability - On Call, Date Nights, Occasional, Weekends Hello! My name is Francesca and I look forward to meeting your family. I've been babysitting since I was 13 years old, caring for multiple nieces and family friend's children ranging from ages 1-16. I also have experience working at a preschool for my senior project. Previously, I volunteered as a Kindergarten Aide at an elementary school in San Francisco on my spare time. I have a clean driving record and have my own transportation. A little background about me: I played piano and keyboard for over 8 years, enjoy reading on my spare time, love to bake and cook, & I'm a Yoga and Pilates enthusiast. I have a 3.9 GPA with multiple honors and dean lists notations. I am also magna cum laude of my graduating class. Being around children brings me joy and love any opportunity to be around them. Some activities that I like doing with children are reading (highly encouraged since I was an avid reader since age 4), helping with homework, snack time/feeding, arts & crafts, computer/electronic educational games (only if parent encourages it - otherwise no electronics per parents request), singing, dancing, games, puzzles, going to the park, basketball, make believe etc... I am a responsible, caring, nurturing, dedicated and organized individual and hope to be a positive contribution to your family. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent within 12 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

Health & Safety Note: Because I often care for 2–3 different families in a single day, I do my best to keep everyone healthy and safe. For this reason, I’m not able to provide care for sick children or in homes where someone is currently unwell (cold, flu, fever, cough, etc.). If I arrive and notice signs of illness that I wasn’t informed about in advance, I may need to step away from the booking to avoid the risk of spreading anything to other children and families. Thank you so much for your understanding and support in keeping everyone well! ❤️ I’m a caring and experienced nanny with over 15 years of working with children of all ages — from tiny newborns to busy school-aged kids. I’ve worn many hats over the years: babysitter, summer camp group leader, and even some families trusted to help interview and choose the right nanny. I truly love what I do and always aim to create a warm, safe, and loving space where children can feel secure and thrive. Supporting parents and becoming a trusted part of the family is the heart of my work.
