Hello dear families, I am Noémie, I am a French living in San Francisco. I have extensive experience with children through my work as an au pair and now nanny, and am always ready to make every moment fun, safe and educational. I've looked after children from the age of seven months to 10 years. So I'm very comfortable on this range. The people around me would say that I'm very adaptable, patient and full of energy. And who knows, they might even learn a few words of French ! In addition to looking after your children, I can also do household chores. Some of my skills though references : Personal and Interpersonal Skills • Warm and enthusiastic : Quickly builds strong bonds with children and families. • Trustworthy and dependable : Families feel fully confident leaving their children in her care. • Adaptable : Handles unexpected situations with calm and grace. • Proactive : Takes initiative in planning activities and preparing meals, even with limited resources. Childcare Skills • Creative : Designs age-appropriate games, storytelling, art projects, and indoor adventures. • Supportive of child development : Helps children develop new skills, confidence, and healthy habits. • Patient and attentive : Navigates early childhood challenges with care and compassion. • Positive discipline : Establishes clear boundaries in a respectful, effective way. Cultural and Language Skills • Culturally enriching : Shares French culture (meals, traditions) while embracing American customs (Thanksgiving, festivals). • Language development : Takes English classes at a community college and actively improves her language skills. Organizational and Household Skills • Reliable with daily routines : Seamlessly integrates into family schedules and responsibilities. • Tidy and respectful of space : Always leaves the home as clean, or cleaner, than she found it. • Time management : Creates well-structured, enriching days full of meaningful activities. Let’s connect !

My name is Julia. I’m 28 years old and I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Development. I love children very much. I was a kindergarten teacher for years and an au pair in the US for six years working for two loving and amazing families In Mill Valley, CA. I am now a permanent citizen. I’m very comfortable with any age group. Have tons of experience with newborns as well! I have just moved back to the Bay Area after living in South Lake Tahoe for about a year. I am a very outdoorsy person and I love dogs, cats and reptiles! I am very organized, love fitting in some kitchen tidying up and laundry folding while the kids nap! Please make sure any overnight requests are made at least one week in advance. I was also a house manager for years for the same families I babysat, so I’m super comfortable with house sitting, dog sitting, tidying up the home, driving around to help you with errands and more :) feel free to lay on me all your needs and I can do my best to accommodate them. - willing to remove shoes, wear masks or any other personal family requirements you might have.
“Julia was great to work with! Quick to respond to texts and last minute changes and really flexible when our baby didn't go to bed as planned! She was also incredible creative with coming up with soothing techniques! Would definitely hire her again!”
Hello! I’m Celine. I was a dedicated nanny with 1 year of experience caring for children mainly less than 1 year old during my semester breaks and while I was pregnant. I graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a Bachelors degree in Business administration but focusing on childcare after I had my baby. I was a full time stay at home mom seeking a full time or part time job to support my son. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing and fun environment for infants and children to feel loved and thrive. I understand that every family is unique, have their own communication and teaching style towards their children and I will make sure that we are on the same page. I look forward to connecting with your family and provide your little one the loving care they deserve! - CPR and First Aid Certified - Non-Smoker - Vaccinated (Covid, MMR, Chicken Pox, Hep B, Tdap) - Comfortable with Pets Regards, Celine
ROTA Nanny | Private Household Specialist | 10+ Years Experience as a nanny Hi! I’m Bianca — I am a professional ROTA nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages in private households. I specialize in rotational (ROTA) nanny positions and have extensive experience working in fully staffed homes, travel roles, and long-term private family placements. I bring a calm, nurturing, and reliable presence into every home, supporting children from newborn through school age. I am CPR & First Aid certified and have completed Newborn Care Specialist training. I love creating engaging, playful, and developmentally rich days — including story time, sensory play, outdoor activities, creative projects, and hands-on learning experiences. Families describe me as intuitive, patient, and easy to communicate with. I value strong teamwork with parents and helping create stable, peaceful routines where children feel safe, seen, and supported. At the moment I am not seeking part-time or traditional weekday roles. I’d love to connect with families looking for experienced ROTA nanny support.
“Looking forward to working with Bianca again! ”
