About Me Hello! I am a caring, dependable, patient, and energetic childcare professional with many years of experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I currently work as a Head Teacher in early childhood education and an after-school program, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and hands-on learning experiences. I understand that every child is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, interests, routines, and individual needs. Safety, patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with children and families are very important to me. I am responsible, friendly, outgoing, and someone parents can feel comfortable having in their home and caring for their children. I believe children should feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged while also having fun. I am looking forward to connecting with families who need a reliable and experienced nanny or babysitter. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family and children can trust and depend on. Looking For I am looking for part-time, occasional, weekend, evening, or date-night nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I am happy to help with children's activities, playtime, reading, arts and crafts, homework support, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping children's areas organized. I am looking for a family that values a caring, dependable, patient, and experienced caregiver.
Hi! This is Jeeli! I have +4 years of experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly love supporting their growth and development in a positive and nurturing environment. I am certified in neurodevelopment and children’s emotional management, which helps me understand and support kids with patience, empathy, and care. I enjoy playing with children, encouraging creativity, helping with routines, and being a warm, responsible, and trustworthy role model in their lives. Families describe me as caring, kind, dependable, and attentive. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where children feel happy, supported, and understood.
Having just completed my master's degree in Global Health, I have recently moved to San Francisco and am looking to work in childcare while I get settled. I have steadily watched children of all ages (anywhere from 4 months to 11 years) since I was a young teenager. I last worked as an after-school nanny to a five-year-old boy while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Washington, DC. I have also worked as an English literacy tutor for kindergarteners. I genuinely adore children, and would love to help your family out! I am also happy to provide references. In my free time, I love to practice yoga, rock climb, cook, and explore the city's parks and museums.
Hello! My name is Neha and I just moved to the area from Washington, DC! In DC, I served as a part time nanny of 2 children (ages 6 and 9) for 4 years. I also was the part time nanny of a 2 year old girl for 2 years. Additionally I have done many occasional babysitting gigs for a range of ages from infants to 14 year olds. I am passionate about childcare and am a very caring and kind nanny. I am willing to help with homework and am conscious of any rules that need to be maintained. I love to play and am always suggesting playing with toys, or playing outside to keep kids off screens! I have played everything from barbie to hide and seek to legos with kids and truly love it. I prioritize the safety of your children and am always available for communication on my phone. I like to keep parents updated with check-ins. I have a valid drivers license and am happy to drive but do not have a car. Overall, I truly love taking care of children and have extensive experience!
My name is Sofia. I am 26 years old and grew up in the Bay Area. As a half-American, half-Argentine, I speak both English and Spanish fluently. I have always loved working with children. From a young age I enjoyed babysitting for local families and playing with my neighbors' children. Later, I began taking full-time nanny jobs wherein I was responsible for meals, baths, pickups, and homework. This opportunity to form relationships with children was so fulfilling that I decided to pursue teaching at a local Steiner-inspired school after graduating college. The curiosity and enthusiasm of the children made teaching an immensely satisfying job, it didn't really feel like a job half of the time! Though I paused teaching in order to pursue other passions, I miss the connection which the job allowed and would love to reconnect to childcare in a some way. In my work I emphasize imaginative and outdoor play, consistent and loving boundaries, and healthy rhythms to ensure a joyful, nutritive, and reliable environment for the children. In particular, I enjoy singing, dancing, storytelling, art making, and exploring with the children I care for. I cook and clean. I have a car, a clean driver license, and significant experience driving children. I also have experience caring for seniors, and have enjoyed this immensely. I am comfortable taking care of pets as well. I am looking forward to meeting your family!
