My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.

Hi my name is Dessie. I have experience with babysitting children and dogs. I have past experience with childcare and also currently babysit from time to time. I used to work as a childcare facilitator, where I would do arts and crafts, learning activities, prepared snacks and schedule downtime for the littles. I currently babysit when time allows it and love to do art projects and fun creative sensory games with pantry foods. I also encourage to meet before babysitting to ensure it is a good fit. My experience with dogs has been in a span of several years whether is walking, dog sitting, or just taking care of my own. I have a dog of my own that is very sweet and gentle. In the past I would dog sit for a lot of friends and would also do dog walking for strangers (through dog-walking app) from time to time. I have always loved dogs and have been volunteering at shelters here are there. Outside of childcare and dog care. I work an administrative job for an environmental sustainable company. I often spend my down time rock climbing, running and organizing/ cleaning spaces. I thrive in an environment where I can organize and clean. Often if I am babysitting or dog sitting I will clean the home as much as I can when asked to. If that’s not something you’d like I will respect your space and home but will definitely clean after your pup or child. I know it’s tough finding someone to trust to be in your home and take care of your loved ones so I also encourage that having a nanny cam or pet cam to check in is a good way to have a piece of mind and am always open to any suggestions or constructive criticisms. If you have any questions please reach out. Thank you!

Hi there! My name is Zama and I am a nanny, who is dependable and experienced childcare professional with over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school age children, and teenagers. While earning my Business degree at City College of San Francisco. I worked closely with families, helping not only with childcare but also with keeping busy households running smoothly. From preparing meals, grocery shopping, running errands, to driving children to school and activities, planning schedules and helping with homework, I became someone families could rely on. I would describe myself as patient, flexible, resourceful and calm under pressure. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personalities while supporting their growth and independence. My goal is simple: to be someone parents can trust and someone their kids feel happy, safe and excited to spend time with.
