Hi! My name is Pamela, I’m from Brazil and currently living in the U.S. I’ve been working with children since I was 14, taking care of kids of different ages. I usually do activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading time, and helping with homework. I’m CPR certified, responsible, caring, and always make sure children feel safe, loved, and happy.
Having been raised by a family of teachers, and after many years of childcare experience, I always place wonder, safety, and fun at the center of my approach as a caretaker. I truly enjoy finding ways to engage kiddos' curiosity and brilliance, and would love getting to do so in a way that would meet your family's own needs. Whether your little ones need someone to build forts, go on outdoor adventures, read stories, or simply ease them into a morning or bedtime routine, I would love to connect and discuss how I might support both your schedule and the growth of your child(ren).
I am a student at the university of San Francisco, studying international studies and art history! I love working with kids and have been babysitting for years. Currently, I work part time at the San Francisco Day School as an afterschool teacher. I spent a year working as an au pair in Germany and nannied 4 kids, ages 1-9. I also used to work as a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for girls aged 8-13. I'd love to chat about my availability and work something out!
Hi! As an oldest child, I've said that I've been in childcare since I was 5 years old. More formally, I've been a sitter/nanny in varying capacities since I was 13 years old. I've worked with families with ages 4 months - 10 years old so I have experience with everything from tummy time to tutoring. Even as I joined the work force after college, I still was the go-to sitter for several families. Now, I have recently moved to the Bay and miss the joy of working with kids so am looking for part-time opportunities to connect with and support families in the area.
Hello, Families! I hope you’re well. My name is Zuziwe ( you can call me Zoozie/Zuh). I live at the Inner Richmond, Just across Golden Gate Park. I’m currently a full time Nanny of 3 kiddos ages 6, 5 & 2yrs. I’ve taken care of a 3months up to 2yrs before. I’m looking for babysitting on weekends, late afternoons & dates nights. Given the opportunity, I’d love to assist you with your Little ones! I love & enjoy caring for the little ones, I believe in engaging them in activities that stimulate their development mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m experienced in making nutritious meals for babies(purée) & kids/toddlers( I understand balanced nutrition). A little insight, I’m a bubbly, energetic, calm & clean girl in her late twenties. I believe in keeping a clean environment around me, I’m dedicated and responsible. I’d love to connect & see if we can be a match!😊 Thank you for your time.
