Hey there - I’m Jasmine! I have loved working with children for as long as I can remember and have worked with many families as a babysitter and part-time nanny over the past 10 years. I have experience with all age groups from newborns to teens, but have primarily worked with babies and toddlers. I am experienced with bottle feeding, diaper changes, bathing children, feeding solids, and putting children down for nap/bedtime. I strive to provide a fun, engaging, safe and developmentally appropriate environment for your children to thrive in! A little more about me! I’m originally from Los Angeles and have called San Francisco home for almost a decade after initially moving here to get my BA in Communication from USF. I previously worked in corporate HR. In my free time, I enjoy: reading, going to the movies, baking bread, building legos and cuddling with my two kitties, Junie & Louis! I am currently open to part-time (mornings only) and/or occasional jobs. If you have any questions for me please don’t hesitate to reach out to set up an introductory call!
Hi everyone! My name is Valentina and I am a credentialed elementary school teacher looking to transition back into nannying. I have a bachelors in Psychology as well as a masters in Teaching, and was a 5th grade public school teacher from 2[removed]. Prior to that I was a nanny for many years, both part time and full time. I’ve been a full time nanny since 2023, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule that I’m hoping to fill! I'm educated in child development from infancy through teenage years and have over 6 years of experience with kids and infants between newborn all the way to school age. I am comfortable with anything between tummy time, bottle feedings, nap training all the way to homework help/tutoring. In addition, I love pets, am fluent in both Spanish and English, have a cleared background live scan check with CPR certification, and have a clean driving record. I love being able to provide families with the security that their child is safe and in good hands as well as making sure to provide an engaging, warm, and safe environment for the kids. I don't take for granted the meaningful relationships that are built along the way. Hope to hear from you all soon!
Hi! I’m Kym! I’m 23, originally from Ohio, and moved to SF about a year ago for my job at the Levi’s home office. Outside of my corporate 9-5, spending time with kids is one of my favorite ways to step out of the work bubble! I’ve been babysitting for ~6 years and have regularly cared for multiple families, with kids ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I’m super comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and schedules, and really meeting each kid where they’re at! A little about my experience: - Ages: 3 months–12 years - Special needs: G-tube care, severe allergies, ASD - Certifications: REACH certified + CPR certified Availability: I’m available any time outside of 9-5 M-F. I’m open to evening/date-night sitting, weekend help, and occasional care! A little more about me: I love cooking, thrifting/fashion, music festivals, taking corepower classes, and soccer/futsal! If you think we could be a good fit, I’d love to connect! I’m happy to share strong references, social media, vax records, or any other info that would be helpful. 💝
“Kym was great! Our daughter loved her right away, and Kym jumped right in and made her feel comfortable. She was warm, easygoing, and clearly great with kids. We’ll definitely have Kym back!”
Hello, I am currently available for part-time or one time caregiving support. I am looking to supplement my retirement by continuing to do what I am most passionate about—working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 17 years of experience as a paraeducator in special education. In addition, I have 18 years of experience as a respite provider working with ambulatory clients on the autism spectrum. For the past 3.5 years, I have also served as co-owner and teacher at an infant daycare. The last two years I’ve helped with my daughter’s different foster babies (ages 3 days- 2 years) after work and on the weekends (Currently there are no fosters.) My experience is further informed by being a parent to a child on the autism spectrum, which has deepened my understanding, empathy, and commitment to quality care. I would welcome the opportunity to offer supportive, compassionate, and reliable care to your family. I have my immunizations up to date: Covid 12/25- Booster Flu 12/25 TDAP 5/22 MMR 6/22
Hi moms + dads! I'll care for your child/children like they were my own. I love being around kids. My regular day job is financial analyst. It's a little challenging finding FTE job in this market however I'm super-resilient I am hoping to fill up my time working whilst earning extra income about something I enjoy! I grew up babysitting younger cousins. I can also cook + help with house chores + organizing. I'm punctual, very tidy so I'm always cleaning up after children/meals. I'm authentic, energetic, reliable + trustworthy, parents + kids love my company. Non-smoker, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing + stimulating environment for your kids to thrive in. CPR/First Aid certified. I speak fluent French + Mandarin (bilingual in Cantonese/English). I can help your kids if they're in the FI/CI programs after school hours. I used to do cat/house sitting for friends. In my spare time I volunteer for SF Ballet, do lots of yoga + dance (Bachata). I can provide excellent references upon request. *INTERVIEW POLICY* For in-person meetings/interviews, a paid hour of time will be requested. *SICK POLICY* If anyone in your household is sick, please let me know before the job begins! I will also do the same! *CANCELLATION POLICY* Please provide 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations. Cancellations with under 24 hours’ notice will be charged for full amount as originally booked. I won’t cancel unless absolutely necessary. I appreciate the same, as last-minute cancellation makes it difficult to schedule my time with other families. Thank you for your understanding!
“Linda was prompt and professional and really exuded a skilled confidence that gave us peace of mind as we left two littles in her care. She was communicative and her recommendations were well received. We’d love to have her back again”
