Hello families! My name is Dany, and I am a dedicated preschool teacher with over 6 years of experience working with young children. I have taught in private schools in Los Angeles, Florida, and San Francisco, where I have helped children learn and grow through play-based, hands-on experiences. I believe every child learns best when they feel safe, loved, and supported. My childcare style focuses on building strong relationships, encouraging creativity, fostering independence, and making learning fun through play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate educational experiences. Before becoming an educator, I worked in customer service and fashion, which helped me develop strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills. I am reliable, patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy creating meaningful connections with both children and families. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, arts and crafts, and spending time with family and friends. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s care and development!
Hi, I'm Michelle! I've been working with young children for over 10 years, from summer camps, to babysitting, to working in preschools. I have two years of formal full-time teaching experience, plus many years of volunteer experience in Extended School Year programs for children with disabilities. I have also taught drama and musical theatre to young children. My first priority is making sure children feel safe and supported, and I look to strike a balance between fun activities, and calm moments to decompress. My background in preschool classroom environments helps me to stay calm in moments of transition, and has provided me many positive guidance tools to help children regulate their emotions and express their needs. I am also happy to provide pet care and household cleaning/assistance as needed. I'm originally from New York, grew up in New Jersey, and now live in San Francisco's beautiful Inner Richmond with my partner and our rambunctious dog, Maisy. I speak conversational Italian, love to sing, and have a degree in Theatre. In my spare time, I can be found outdoors with my dog, cooking, doing yoga, and playing ice hockey recreationally. I look forward to meeting you!
“Michelle saved us with a last-minute booking when another sitter cancelled. She was very prompt, responsive, and clear with her communication. She was kind and engaging immediately with the kids (ages 2 & 4); very thoughtful and helpful. Did a great job keeping it fun while redirecting some rowdier kid energy. Would love to have her another time!”
I'm a college neuroscience student starting summer break hoping to catch some babysitting/nanny jobs outside of my research internship hours. I have four years of babysitting experience with up to six children at a time and a variety of ages from infant to elementary school. I am a neuroscience TA so I know how to teach and help with homework, and I volunteer with kids at California Academy of Sciences. I am CPR/BLS and first aid certified! Let's connect :)
Hi! I’m Fernanda, a speech-language pathologist from Chile with a strong background in early childhood development. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco, caring for infants and toddlers. I specialize in language stimulation, sensory play, and structured routines. I’m warm, responsible, organized, and bilingual (Spanish/English). I’m also happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry, and pet care. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow and families feel fully supported.
