Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.

I have extensive experience with children through my work as an au pair and now nanny, and am always ready to make every moment fun, safe and educational. I've looked after children from the age of seven months to 10 years. So I'm very comfortable on this range. The people around me would say that I'm very adaptable, patient and full of energy.

I’m originally from Colombia and recently moved to San Francisco from Colorado to continue my education while doing what I truly love—supporting families and caring for children. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Physical Education, and over four years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as an elementary school teacher, and during the past few years I’ve worked as both an au pair and a nanny, caring for children from 2 months to 16 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy planning creative activities, crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, and helping children learn through play. Families describe me as warm, caring, patient, organized, responsible, and dependable. I naturally take initiative, keep routines running smoothly, and love creating a calm, positive environment where both children and parents feel supported. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, organizing, errands, and pet care—whatever helps make your family’s day a little easier.
“We hired Itsa for household help. She was very efficient, punctual and was very good at the chores. She helped with laundry, light cleaning, dishes. On the personal front, she is polite and easy to talk to! We plan on continuing to hire her.”
Hello, My name is Anne and I’m a long-time San Francisco resident living in Bernal Heights. I love working with young people of different ages and have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’ve raised our own two kids and have worked with other people’s children on and off for over 25 years, as an educator and childcare provider. I’m nurturing, organized, and responsible. Being punctual and staying safe are my top priorities. I also love to have fun and go on outdoor adventures! I’m a positive and energetic person with a passion for languages, healthy food, and good stories. Informal training in theatre and expressive arts informs the creative work I do with children. While traveling and living overseas, I have lovingly gathered a mobile library of fun, interactive books in French and Spanish. When our children were young, I helped run a bilingual (Spanish/English) daycare program. I launched an arts program in our Spanish immersion elementary school, where I assisted in teaching art and literacy for over a decade. In tutoring older children for many years, I focused on English and French language skills, writing, and SAT prep. Other professional endeavors include working in the field of public health. I studied in the USA and in France. I am happy to help your family in any way you need. I have a safe car, excellent driving skills, and a clean driving record. I prefer not to do screen time with kids. I am AHA certified in infant/child/adult CPR and first aid. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 and am up to date on this and other immunizations. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up an interview. I have many excellent references, which I'm happy to furnish upon request. I look forward to working with you and your families!!!
“Anne is the absolute best. From the start, it immediately felt like we had a relative coming over to watch our 6 month old son for date night. Anne was punctual, asked all the right questions about bedtime routine, and her communication throughout the night allowed us to enjoy date night worry free! She is clearly a natural with kids. We look forward to having Anne watch our son again soon.”
