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!”
Hi, my name is Lizbeth. I’m currently a grad student seeking occasional babysitting opportunities. I am CPR certified and have a lot of experience working with children of all ages and babies. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, engaging environment for children through both fun and educational activities. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further info or with any Qs you may have. Thanks :)
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!
Hi, My name is Tierra, I’m looking for part time and weekend work. I’m available early mornings and evenings. I have experience with children from newborn to elementary school age. I’m responsible and reliable. In 2022 I was a nanny for siblings a two year old boy and a 9 month old girl for a couple of months before she was old enough to start school. I was also a babysitter for a pair of sisters 3 years old and 2 years old. I work as a third grade after school teacher. I also used to volunteer at a preschool. I’m ok with doing light housekeeping if needed (dishes, laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, and wiping down counters/toys)
“Tierra has cared for my son several times this past summer, from 16 months to 19 months old. She is kind, patient, and playful with him. It's an added benefit that she works as a teacher. I will definitely hire Tierra again.”
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.”
