Hello! My name is Elizabeth, and I have been working with children and families for over 25 years in many different settings—as a babysitter, live-in nanny, tutor, after-school and summer program leader, scout camp staff, in-patient and out-patient mental health treatment provider, facilitating parenting classes, and as a therapist specializing in youth and families. I also grew up caring for my four younger brothers, as well as many nieces and nephews, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. Alongside childcare, I have provided professional dog and cat sitting, cared for my own pets (including a bearded dragon!), and supported families with household tasks and cleaning. For example, I worked weekly for a family in Palo Alto for eight months, helping keep their home clean and welcoming. I especially enjoy organizing and home decor. With a background in social work and mental health, I strive to create a safe, affirming space for children and families, and I am experienced in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a minor in Music, and I enjoy incorporating creativity, patience, and structure into the care I provide. Personally, I grew up in a small mountain town in Northern Utah, but have now called the Bay Area home for the past 15 years. Outside of work, I love rock climbing, reading, playing guitar and singing, art, tabletop games, and spending time at the beach. I’m also bilingual in English and conversational/intermediate-advanced Spanish. I’m a proud parent to two wonderful kids—an 18-year-old who lives in Utah and a 5-year-old who just started kindergarten. With my youngest now in school and spending part of the week with the other parent, I have more flexibility in my schedule to provide reliable care and support for other families. I bring not only professional experience but also the heart of a parent to the work I do. I look forward to meeting you! P.S. I have been certified many times over in the past for infant and child CPR and first aid, but am not currently up-to-date. I would be happy to re-certify if needed for the right fit.
Hi I’m Jordan Brill, I’m looking to work as a part time nanny of younger children. I have experience working with special needs and autistic children. I am very patient and good at redirection.
Hi! I’m Michelle :) I am currently a graduate student enrolled in a school psychology program. I have 7+ years of working with children (2-18y) with special needs in private settings and schools. I’ve also babysat for family members and friends. I am offering childcare and household services, such as laundry, school pick-ups and daily errands. I love music ( I’ve taught my sister how to play the piano!) and all things sports. If you’re looking for someone who’s very involved with play and conversation, comfortable with behavioral needs, or someone who can be kind yet firm, I’m the one for you!
Hello, parents! My name is Sonah, and I am currently a full-time student majoring Health Information. Before moving to the United States last year, I lived in Vietnam, and had over three years caring for and tutoring children. During that time, I was recognized as a Star Tutor among more than 2,000 tutors at my previous company. When caring for children, I believe their safety always comes first. Beyond that, I believe the way we introduce the world to them is just as important. Children learn from the adults around them, so I am always mindful of what I say, how I act, and the values I teach. I strive to create a safe, positive, and caring environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese, so a plus, if you'd like your child to practice or maintain their Vietnamese, I'd be happy to incorporate that into our time together in a fun and natural way. I would love the opportunity to care for your child and become someone your family can trust. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I look forward to meeting you!
Hi! My name is Lillian, and I am seeking a part-time nanny position. I have experience working with children from 5 months to 13 years old and am passionate about supporting their growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I am currently a college student majoring in Childhood and Adolescent Development, with goals of becoming a teacher and eventually a school counselor. I am dedicated, responsible, and enjoy building meaningful relationships with children. I currently work as a recess coach at Booksin Elementary and previously worked at Gardner Elementary, gaining experience with a wide range of personalities and handling both positive and challenging situations. I also have extensive babysitting and nannying experience. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking and cleaning and am happy to help with household tasks and errands. I am organized, attentive, and committed to helping children thrive. I look forward to connecting with families soon!
“She was reliable and professional from start to finish. She handled our two high-energy children with ease, keeping them engaged and active the entire time. She had an endless supply of creative activities that kept them entertained and happy. We especially appreciated how she knew when to check in with us while still giving the kids her full attention. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. ”
