Hello, I am seeking a part-time nanny position with over 10years of experience caring for newborns and school-aged children. My expertise includes engaging their age-appropriate activities such as playing games, reading books, crafting, and exploring outdoors while ensuring their safety well being. I have successfully completed child development courses during my college tenure, which has equipped me with valuable knowledge on supporting young minds to grow holistically through playful learning experiences tailored to each individual's needs & preferences. Aside from that, my CPR/AED certification protects against unforeseen circumstances under my supervision. In addition, I am a highly punctual, hardworking, trustworthy caregiver who takes pride in putting extra effort into maintaining cleanliness and an organized environment, including tidying up after little ones finish enjoying themselves by picking up scattered around different areas within the designated workspace. I can help with light housekeeping, cooking, picking up the kids from school and laundry. I am looking forward to hearing from mommies & daddies!

Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!

Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.

Hello, I’m Alyssa. I am 36, I currently work as a lead 3/4 year old teacher through UCSF. I have over a decade of experience babysitting and nannying through urbansitter and I have 4 years of experience teaching in a preschool classroom. I have a double major in Human Development (BS) and Psychology (AB) from UC Davis. I also possess an Associate of Science degree in Early Childhood Education and 8 Associate of Arts degrees. I have current infant first aid and CPR certification as well as trust line (fingerprinting) certification. My upbringing prepared me for a career in childcare. I was raised the oldest female of thirteen cousins and often helped cook, change diapers, and care for my younger cousins with my grandmother every day after school. Caring for children from a very early age helped equip me with a variety of tools to approach children with patience, creativity, warmth, and kindness that I employ every day when I work with children. While I was in college, I nannied with children 1-on-1 for 7 years and I worked as a library aide for 5 years. In the past I volunteered for 8 years coaching volleyball and basketball to 3rd-8th graders, and volunteered for 2 years as a 1st grade English tutor. I began babysitting when a family from work asked me to help watch their three children. I also have lots of experience watching twins and their sibling simultaneously. You can probably tell from my extensive schooling background that providing quality education is one of my core beliefs. It is vitally important for me to contribute to shaping children’s growing minds in environments that are supportive, constructive, and open to letting children try different approaches to learning where they are allowed to fail and grow from their mistakes. I love encouraging literacy, teaching through songs, scaffolding how to try new things on the playground, creating art projects, and incorporating gross motor activity to stimulate retention in the classroom. Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you soon! I have a 24 hour cancellation policy - I will charge 50% for the cancelled booking with less than 24 hours notice. I have multiple references for cat, dog, reptile, and house sitting. I also have references for doing overnight care & before/after school drop-off.

Alyssa was on time, professional, and even brought new games for our kids to play with. They were comfortable with her right away. We would definitely work with her again!
