Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am available for part time mornings Min-Fri as a family I’ve been with for a year in the mornings has received a career opportunity in Europe. They will give me a as a family I’ve been with for a year in the mornings has received a career opportunity in Europe. They will give me an excellent reference, of course. I look forward to meeting you all, thank you! Extensive experience as a nanny ( 13 years not all of my experience is listed on here, excellent references) Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both in college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. In the last five years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.

“We had a positive experience with Ms Mari. I loved how she cared about safety. She even shared some tips and tricks with me which I loved. She was energetic with our active 1 year old and when he slept she even helped me around the house. I would hire her again! Thanks, Mari! ”

Joana here. I came from Brazil to SF in 2007, and have been living on Bernal Heights since then. I've been babysitting kids of all ages professionally for the past 15 years, in a wide range of ways. School pickups, taking to activities, sleep overs, date nights, back up nanny for the day, taking kids to museums, zoo, playgrounds, hikes, etc. I have traveled to 25 countries and love sharing my experiences. I own a fully insured car and have a clean driving record. I love the outdoors! I am healthy and usually kids like me. I'm responsible but also fun. I know how to do anything house related and don’t mind helping out. I love pets. I am flexible and adaptable to follow any philosophies that the family has chosen to guide their little ones. Punctuality, positivity and great communication are my main qualities. Hope to meet you soon.

Hello, I'm Sofia! Currently working with a lovely family helping care for their infant daughter (and young doggo!). I completed studies at USF in 2019 with my major in Critical Diversity Studies, and a minor in Legal Studies. I have been a family helper/nanny for over 13 years with children ranging in the ages of newborns to teenagers. I also have worked with six separate families with infant twins, one of which were preemies. I have an excellent driving record in case you are in need of help that requires me to drive. I am a huge animal lover as well, so if you have any pets, I am open to help care for them as well such as walking and feeding them, etc. Currently open to part time work: 1-2 days a week and/or date night help. I cannot commit to specific work days as my schedule varies, but can work with a family that has some schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance! Fully vaccinated & boosted 💉

“Sofia is such a wonderful caregiver; we feel very lucky to have found her to help take care of our baby Grace from 4-6 months old. She is highly professional, knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleeping schedules, and has a very nurturing presence. Sofia was the first consistent babysitter we had, and felt comfortable trusting her with Grace. Sofia took care of Grace at home while I worked from home and took Grace out on walks around the neighborhood so she could have fresh air during the day. In addition, she is wonderful to chat with and learn from. I would highly recommend Sofia to take care of little ones.”
