I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with decades of experience caring for children of all ages. My background includes work in elementary education and supporting students in school-based settings, which has given me strong skills in communication, emotional support, and creating safe, structured, nurturing environments for kids. I’m kind, energetic, organized, and naturally good at building trust and rapport while maintaining consistency, boundaries, and safety. Families often describe me as calm, reliable, intuitive, and easy to work with. In addition to childcare, I have years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs and am happy to help with errands, meal prep, organizing, and light household chores. I have professional experience in events catering and as a pastry chef, along with formal culinary arts training, and I genuinely enjoy cooking and preparing meals for others. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, which supports my thoughtful, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I love helping families feel supported and making busy lives run a little more smoothly however I can.
Hello families! My name is Sophie and I am 29 years old. I’m originally from Germany and live in the Marina with my husband. I‘m offering child care and household services which I have years of experience with. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping them throughout their daily activities. I am an Occupational Therapist and have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I was an Aupair (2[removed]) here in the Bay Area and loved being a part of my hostkids‘ (6 and 8 years old) daily life. I also have experience watching toddlers and taking care of babies through nannying jobs and family. I look forward to bringing support and joy to your home and making your life easier. See you soon, Sophie 😊 - Valid Green Card / Work authorisation - California Driver’s License since 2021
“Sophie was wonderful with our almost-3-year-old. Ollie took to her immediately, and they had a blast together at the park. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with little ones, and as a German speaker she was a great fit for our family. Communication was easy and she showed up right on time. We’re already booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Hi! I’m Zaira your reliable helping hand. I’m here to make life a little easier for you and a lot more fun for your kids! I’ve been caring for children for over 7 years, with experience ranging from toddlers (12 months) to school-aged kids (up to 8 years old). Over the years, I’ve worked as both a babysitter and a pet sitter. I love connecting with children through fun activities like memory games and puzzles, always creating a calm, positive space where they feel safe and happy. Safety is always my top priority, I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so you can feel confident knowing your little ones are in good hands. I’m fluent in Spanish and happy to communicate or practice with the kids if that’s something important to your family! Whether it’s a date night, a weekend getaway, or just some extra help during the week, I’m flexible, dependable, and ready to support your family. Let’s make things easier, I’d love to help!
Hi there! I'm Toni, and I’ve spent over a 20 years working with kids and families both as a social worker and a soccer coach.

Whether we're kicking a soccer ball around or diving into a fun activity, I’m here to help your little ones grow and shine.
