Hi! I’m Maira, and I have over five years of experience caring for children between the ages of 3 month and 13 years old. I’d describe myself as kind, responsible, and patient. I genuinely enjoy working with kids because I love watching them learn, grow, and explore the world. I’m looking for a nanny position where open communication is valued, and I can create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for the children. In my free time, I enjoy yoga and exercise, which help me stay active and energized. One thing you should know about me is that I have experience as an assistant teacher at a Montessori school, which has given me valuable skills in child development and hands-on learning approaches. I’d love the opportunity to bring my experience and care to your family!
“Maira was great with our 3 month old! Helped us with playtime and putting her down for a nap! Will definitely use her again!”
I have worked in early childhood education for over 8 years. I am a mother of two children. I love working with children, I have BA degree in Early Childhood Education, teacher's permit and CPR and first aid certification. I am committed to creating a safe, healthy, inclusive, and multicultural learning environment. I focus on teamwork and building good relationships with children and parents, becoming an indispensable partner in children's learning and growth and a trustworthy partner for families. I can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, and English. I am a new member of UrbanSitter and look forward to working with you and your child.
“We feel fortunate for our children to be under the care of Angel. She is truly a professional and my toddler immediately took to her. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every time she comes to our house she brings something new and interesting. I feel like her time with our children isn’t just about watching them but is also about enriching and educating them. On top of that she’s prompt and an excellent communicator. I sincerely appreciate her so much and think any family would be lucky to work with her. ”
As a nurturing and passionate childcare provider with more than seven years of experience. I'm dedicated to fostering the growth and development of children. My background in early childhood education, combined with my natural patience and creativity, allows me to create a safe and engaging environment where children can thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and strive to build strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect. My skills include organizing educational games, teaching practical life skills, and encouraging physical activity. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, within the age groups of 0 to 11. I'm fluent in Arabic, English, and French, I like going to the museums and zoo . Walking and take the kids to playgrounds. Let's collaborate to provide your child with the care and support they need to blossom and reach their full potential.
Having just completed my master's degree in Global Health, I have recently moved to San Francisco and am looking to work in childcare while I get settled. I have steadily watched children of all ages (anywhere from 4 months to 11 years) since I was a young teenager. I last worked as an after-school nanny to a five-year-old boy while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Washington, DC. I have also worked as an English literacy tutor for kindergarteners. I genuinely adore children, and would love to help your family out! I am also happy to provide references. In my free time, I love to practice yoga, rock climb, cook, and explore the city's parks and museums.
Hello! My name is Neha and I just moved to the area from Washington, DC! In DC, I served as a part time nanny of 2 children (ages 6 and 9) for 4 years. I also was the part time nanny of a 2 year old girl for 2 years. Additionally I have done many occasional babysitting gigs for a range of ages from infants to 14 year olds. I am passionate about childcare and am a very caring and kind nanny. I am willing to help with homework and am conscious of any rules that need to be maintained. I love to play and am always suggesting playing with toys, or playing outside to keep kids off screens! I have played everything from barbie to hide and seek to legos with kids and truly love it. I prioritize the safety of your children and am always available for communication on my phone. I like to keep parents updated with check-ins. I have a valid drivers license and am happy to drive but do not have a car. Overall, I truly love taking care of children and have extensive experience!
