"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Teriha $18 per hour for 1 child
I’m a Japanese-English bilingual preschool teacher with supporting young children ages 2–5. I’m patient, reliable, and skilled at guiding children through play, daily routines, and emotional support. I love creating engaging activities like stories, songs, and hands-on play that help children feel safe, confident, and understood.
Jadyn $32 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Jadyn, I am 26 years old I currently work as a legal assistant. I am looking for part-time nannying jobs. I have been looking after/taking care of children since high school as camp staff and working with families with kids ranging from 1yr - 12yrs old. My experience includes picking up kids from school, making dinner, cleaning, taking them to activities, putting them down for bed, and more. Please reach out if you think I’d be a good fit and would love to chat more! Also open to providing referrals if needed. Thank you! :)
Selena $25 per hour for 1 child
I started by helping my mom with my siblings; Which just ignited the joy I have with working with children. I'm very patient, and I'm able to provide help where it's needed. I'm starting my first semester at ccsf for ECE, as my focus is to get a job working with children. I'm great at cooking and following diet restrictions. Food safety is my number one priority when it comes to this. I'm able to multitask and take care of anything I may need with a good amount of precision. I genuinely love working with kids, and I hope to have some of my own someday. I have about 10-12 years of experience working with children; my experience primarily comes from helping raise my siblings into the preteens they are now. I grew up cleaning and cooking, so I'm well-equipped when it comes to these.
