Booked by 4 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I’m Sofi! I’m an Argentinian Physical Education teacher who graduated in December 2023, with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I currently work as a nanny for two wonderful kids, ages 4 and 6, and I also have experience as an au pair in the U.S., providing full-time childcare. Working with children is something that I truly enjoy. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where they can learn, grow, and feel confident. My background in physical education allows me to incorporate active play, sports, and movement, while I also enjoy creative activities and cooking with them. I’m responsible, energetic, patient, and caring, and I always aim to build a trusting relationship with both children and parents.

I specialize in caregiving for children, ages 3–13, offering a calm, mature, and warm presence. I enjoy playing games, arts/crafts activities, and nearby outdoor activities (park or backyard). My top goal is to create a comfortable environment where your children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand the trust involved in inviting someone into your home and take that responsibility seriously. With years of parenting experience, I understand how to balance clear boundaries with warmth, whether guiding a younger child patiently through routines or supporting older kids in more independent stages. Additionally, I can help with: - Homework - Meal preparation and clean-up - Oversee and support evening routines - Light housekeeping - Drop-offs and pick-ups - Run errands MORE ABOUT ME I’m a long-time San Francisco resident and parent who values integrity, clear communication, and consistency. I have worked professionally as a researcher, designer/artist, and teacher. I'm often described as dependable, caring, organized, and attentive.

“Lisa has sat for my daughters, 2nd and 4th grades, several times. My girls enjoy her, and I feel that they are safe with her. She is professional and communicative, and flexible. She is tidy, kind, and patient. We will continue working with Lisa!”

Aloha! My name is Keanna and I’m from Hawai’i but now living in the San Francisco Bay Area. For over 10 years, I have been working with children and families in varying capacities. I recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in Sociology and a concentration in Child & Youth Studies. While in college, I was a babysitter/nanny for multiple families caring for 1-4 children at a time. Some of my responsibilities included school pick-up/drop off, bedtime routines, planning fun and engaging activities in and out if the house, preparing meals and light household chores. I am the older sister of two younger brothers (age 8 and 10) and have much experience caring for kids in a household setting as well. It is my personal philosophy to play a positive and supportive role in a child's life in efforts to help nurture them into the person they would like to be!

Hi! I’m Lauryn. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids and getting to know their individual personalities. I spent 5 years in child care as a preschool teacher at Action Day Schools, a babysitter for multiple families, and a substitute teacher with Child Care Careers. I can keep kids engaged with games, crafts, creative activities, trips to the park, reading, or simply letting them lead the fun. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, tidying up after activities, and whatever else helps make your evening easier. I am comfortable taking care of children with special needs and have been active in the autism community my whole life as my older brother is autistic. Also, I used to volunteer for 4 years in high school at the local SPCA and am comfortable with any pets you may have :) As a sitter, my priority is making sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to respect the varying routines and parenting styles of any family. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel confident that your little ones are in good hands :) I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be a helping hand when you need it! 💕
