Hi Everyone! My name is Megan, I'm 30 and I'm originally from Duluth, Minnesota! I have been a Nanny for 11 years, including 2 years in Minnesota and 2 years abroad as an au pair (Australia, England and Italy) before moving to San Francisco in 2019. I have worked with children ranging from newborn to older teens. I'm first aid and CPR trained as well as having a drivers license with a clean background. I'm a non smoker and can pass all background checks! I speak English and some Italian. I can also provide 3+ excellent references! I love cooking, baking, hiking, traveling, the beach, animals, nature, crafts, sports, games, singing, dancing, learning new things and staying organized. I'm very outgoing, and am always open, honest and transparent! If you think I could be a good fit or have any questions for me please let me know and we can connect! I am looking for a full time position starting ASAP in San Francisco!
As the second oldest of seven children, I have spent most of my life caring for kids. From ages 17 to 19, I was the sole caregiver for my two youngest siblings, then ages 0 to 4, due to an illness in the family. I started babysitting at a young age and quickly built a reputation for being especially good with young children. I went on to work in K-12 summer camps for four summers, then spent two years as a program leader in a K-8 public school afterschool program. During my thirteen years as a flight attendant, I completed annual first aid training, including infant and child CPR and Heimlich maneuver certification. I live in Cole Valley with my small, perfect dog Lola and my partner, who works at a tech start up. I'm reliable, responsible, and very flexible with scheduling. I hold an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and am currently transitioning into education and social impact work. I stay active in the community through food insecurity and youth literacy volunteer programs, as an avid reader, I love to spread my love of books to the next generation! I am a deeply curious and empathic person who believes in meeting someone where they are at and always listening first. I have pets my entire adult life and am also happy to pet sit or take your furry friend for a walk.
“Kayla was an immediate hit with the kids. She was super warm, gentle and calm, and handled a teething baby with grace!”
Hi there! My name is Samantha and I am currently a 25 year old nursing student! I'm a caring and dependable sitter who truly loves spending time with kids! With babysitting experience going back to my teen years (plus lots of auntie duties with my nieces and nephews!), I bring tons of enthusiasm, patience, and creativity to every sit and have genuine love for what I do. I'm big on keeping kids engaged with fun activities or adventures, and since I'm a huge Disney fan, I always have something to connect with the little ones over! 🏰 I grew up with pets my whole life, so your furry family members are in great hands too! Whether it's dogs, cats, or both! Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: • 🏠 House sitting • 🐾 Pet sitting • 🧹 Household chores • 🛒 Errands And for your peace of mind, I am BLS/CPR certified, so you can feel confident your family is safe and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!
Hi families! For over 5 years, I have experience taking care of children of all ages. My love and dedication for children led me to do social work in the interior of São Paulo in indigenous villages and orphanages, where I had the opportunity to care for and interact with children of different ages and cultures. I have references from some mothers and fathers who have entrusted their children to me, and I can provide their contact details so that you can check my skills and competence as a babysitter. I have a driver's license, first aid and firefighter training, and I can help children with their homework, including in English. Regarding activities with children, I love telling stories that take them to a magical world of their own and develop linguistic and cognitive skills, or playing games that stimulate logical reasoning, memory, cooperation and problem solving. Oh, and I also feel comfortable and love any type of pet. I appreciate your attention and consideration.
I have work as an Elementary teachers assistant for the last two years. I’m currently in the process of receiving my para educator certification. I love working with kids I find that I can communicate with them very easily using not only the tools i’ve learned from past jobs but with some of the tools I’ve learned through my younger siblings who have communication disabilities. I can take small pets such as dogs and cats. I also help coach a rugby team so I think i’ve been able to master patience and understanding with anyone honestly.
