Hello, my name is Madison! I just finished my degree from SFSU studying Sound Design and Audio Production. I have an Associate’s Degree in both Communication and Film. I have almost ten years of nannying/ babysitting experience, working with kids from 1 month to 12 years. I have always had a passion for working with kids and have gained all of my experience working with families in LA. I come from a background of working with kids in various artistic fields. I was a dance instructor for ages 3-10 and a teacher’s assistant for a fashion illustration class for ages 7+. I love to incorporate art and creativity whenever I can with the kids! My past jobs have also included prepping meals and snacks, driving to school and activities, tidying up, prepping art projects, and epic dance parties!
“Madison was lovely. Got along so well with our daughter and would highly recommend her.”
Hi, I’m Leticia, and I’ve been taking care of children for over 7 years. Being around them reminds me that life can be light and fun. One of the things that I love most about being a nanny is seeing the world through their eyes, and also knowing that I’m helping a little person grow and develop brings purpose to my job. I have experience with children from infants to 12 year old, caring for kids of different ages and twins. I like to get to know the child I’ll be caring for so I can plan some activities based on what they like, but I also love spending time outdoors and doing creative activities like arts and crafts, pretend play, music, story time, etc. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a responsible driver, a non smoker, and pet friendly. I value open communication with parents and always try to create a warm, trusting relationship with the families I work with. I would love to talk more to get to know each other better and answer any questions you may have!
I’m a teacher taking time off this year to pursue some personal projects! I’m looking for a bit of flexibility in my schedule, but quite available for last minute needs. I taught PK and 6th grade ELA in the Bay Area for the past 6 years, worked abroad for the 3 before that, and coached swim and nannied through college. I love sports, the outdoors, and the arts. I’m most passionate about building confidence and independence in the kids I work with. And I’ll always encourage curiosity and play.
“Nicole is great! She worked in education and is great with my young kids--plays games, does art, reads and is a pro at bedtime. Nicole is kind, patient, reliable and great with kids.”
Hi There, I have loads of experience caring for children. My personality is very nurturing, fun, understanding and artistic. - 2 AA degrees in Early Childhood Education and Studio Art. I was a preschool teacher at Bright Horizons at UCSF for 6 years. - DONA Post- partum Doula trained since 2008 - raised two children of my own who are now in college. I love giving space for children to be curious, creative and mindful. A few hobbies of mine are water color painting, Ikebana Flower arranging and gardening. I am looking for extra work to be flexible with my school schedule as I am working towards my degree in Art. References upon request. Kindest regards, Claudia
“Claudia is amazing! Our toddler is so shy and scared of new sitters and she made him feel safe instantly. She was lovely, super responsive, caring, and wonderful. We will hire her again and again!”
Hello! My name is Chloe. I do have a day job but it tends to be very flexible, allowing me to have mornings and nights open . I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now, primarily helping with kids between the ages 4 and 10. Tasks I regularly do while babysitting are cooking, cleaning, taking the kids for some time to play outdoors, take them to and from school, etc. I also used to assistant coach soccer so I don’t mind working with large groups of kids.
