Hi, I’m Nancy! I’m a Bay Area native and a full-time first-grade teacher who truly loves working with kids of all ages. With over five years of classroom experience, many years of babysitting, and a Master’s in Education, I bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing approach to every family I work with. I’m a credentialed public school teacher and have cared for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—from feedings and nap times to homework help and fun activities. Being bilingual in Spanish and English helps me connect with families from diverse backgrounds, and I’m CPR & First Aid certified so you can feel confident your little ones are safe with me. Families describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to communicate with. Whether you need an extra set of hands during a busy week or a trustworthy sitter for a night out, I’d love to support your family and give your kids a safe, engaging, and fun experience.

$35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable, and upbeat caregiver with 10+ years of experience caring for children from toddlers through school age in both home and classroom settings. As an early childhood educator, I bring a mix of structure, creativity, and lots of heart to every family I work with. I love getting to know each child’s personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can play, explore, learn, and just be themselves. Whether we’re heading outside for an adventure, getting creative with an activity, working on homework, or simply following their usual routine, I’m happy to meet children where they are. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, reliable, communicative, and experienced in building trusting relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always for your kids to feel cared for and for you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.

“I have 3 kids & Emonni is amazing! She’s kind, caring & keeps the kids entertained! My kids adore her!”

Molly $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Molly, and I’m a current medical student at Stanford. I’m currently offering childcare & household services. I love to work with children and I babysat a lot as a high school & college student! As a medical student I am certified in Basic Life Support, and outside of school I’ve tried to cultivate many hobbies, including reading, exploring, crafting, cooking, and baking. I enjoy the chance to share those joys with children who are just beginning to know and love the world as I care for them. I can cook, clean, run errands, and I’m well-versed in education, as I tutored school-age children for many years alongside my own schooling, and would be happy to help wherever you need help! I am allergic to many pets, but as long as I’m informed prior to the day, I can manage well with antihistamines. Overall, I’m an enthusiastic individual who would be very happy to care for your children when you need!
