Hi- my name is Adriana. I am a biology graduate at SFSU and I am pursuing a career in Nursing. I have been nannying/sitting for over 8 years now and I have loved it ever since! I have cared for children from infant to teenage years and have gained tons of experience not only from working with children around my neighborhood but also from caring for my cousins and now nephews and niece! I love being able to play and be a kid again and learning new things from children as well. I love walks to the park, playing hide and go seek and even tag! I also like visits to the library and museum. I do ask for a 3 hr minimum payment for cancellations that are less than 24hrs, thank you!

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years of experience supporting families and nurturing kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a calm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is warm, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
