Hi, my name is Charlotte! I graduated from Lick-Wilmerding High School in 2025 and have since completed my freshman year at Tufts University. I’m taking a year off from college and will be home in San Francisco for the year, and I’m looking for both ad hoc and part-time work. I’m offering child care, pet care, and light household services. I absolutely love working with kids and have 5 years of experience at local summer camps with kids ages 4-12. My responsibilities within these programs have primarily included planning and leading activities, games, and arts-and-crafts projects. I also have extensive experience volunteering with young people who have physical and/or developmental disabilities. I have some experience tutoring elementary school and high school students, so I’d be happy to help with homework if helpful. I love to cook and bake, do creative projects, play soccer, dance, and spend time outdoors. I am Red Cross certified in emergency response, as well as adult and pediatric first aid/CPR/AED. I also love animals! I have the most experience with dogs and cats (i.e., walking, feeding, playing with), but I would be happy to care for any kind of pet. I’m happy to cook, clean, and do other light household chores.
Hi, my name is Mayra, and I am a 25-year-old bilingual (Spanish and English) speaker with a passion for working with children. I do have experience working as a CNA and a Medical Assistant. I also have about 6 years of experience with working with children of many ages. Starting from infant care to grade school. I have work with about 5-6 families that have multiple children and have been caring for. I’ve also been a summer counselor assistant. I am CPR certified and have basic first aid knowledge, ensuring I can handle any emergency situations that might arise while babysitting. As a reliable driver, I can also help with transportation needs. I have experience caring for children of various ages, providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. With my commitment to safety, I am excited to offer my services as a trusted babysitter. While I may not have ratings on here, I usually get my jobs through word of mouth. I hoe you can consider me working with you and your family. Thank you!
I worked with Rec & Park and ran afterschool programs throughout high school and college. I worked with children for many years as well as taking college courses on child education. I am very flexible and always want to ensure I am consistent and considerate with the care parents seek for their children.
Hello parents! I’m an experienced, exceptional San Francisco nanny available for occasional help on weekends or evenings. After spending over 9 wonderful years working as a full-time nanny for a family with 3 boys in the Marina District, followed by 4 years with a family in Russian Hill … just started to support the new family in The Presidio. I drive around the city in the SUV with 3 car seats/ boosters. About me: • Education - Professional early childhood educator with a Preschool Teacher Diploma from Poland. • Experience - over 15 years of experience as a nanny (working with newborns up to age 9) and family assistant in San Francisco • Personal background - single mom who successfully raised my own son. I am over 50 but young at heart, very active and energetic. • Childcare style - patient, emotional support, responsible, punctual, outdoor exploration, creative, and well organized. • Activities and engagement - I love arranging engaging indoor and outdoor activities. I especially enjoy introducing kids to art and craft projects. We often go on "adventures" together to discover all the fun, new things the city has to offer children. “My" kids end up with thousands of wonderful photo and video memories, a collection of cozy hand-made hats and blankets (I love to crochet!), and their very own Spotify playlists filled with their favorite songs. • Recommendations and testimonials - children often call me "the best nanny ever." and in the last recommendation letter I was described as a “Marry Poppins” 😅 Parents describe me as: an amazing, extraordinary, and truly exceptional nanny. A loving, attentive, warm, and trustworthy caregiver. Completely reliable, honest, punctual, and a professional self-starter. Energetic, playful, imaginative, and highly resourceful. Extremely knowledgeable about child development with a wonderful rapport with children. All of my recommendation letters are available to read in person during our interview. Spending time with children brings me an immense amount of joy and satisfaction, and I look forward to supporting your family! Availability: Weekdays - after 5:15 PM Weekends - flexible
