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!
I’m a caring, patient, and responsible mother of two with hands-on experience caring for children. I also volunteer in children’s ministry at my church, for where I enjoy interacting with kids and helping create a safe, positive, and supportive environment. I have nanny experience as well as additional experience working with families and children. As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone who is dependable, attentive, trustworthy, patient, and genuinely caring. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and helping with playtime, meals, homework, school routines, and age-appropriate activities. I can also assist with light household tasks related to the children, such as tidying play areas, preparing simple meals, and keeping things organized. I’m calm, organized, punctual, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and comfortable environment where children feel cared for and parents can feel confident leaving their children with me. I’m looking for a part-time nanny or childcare position where I can build a consistent and trusting relationship with a family.
Hi, I'm Nataly!! I have been babysitting and petsitting for over 8 years now. I'm a very patient, loving, and caring person who has always bonded well with kids and a variety of pets!! I currently work at a highschool as a Paraprofessional from M-F during school, but after those times I am still looking for more fulfilling work with children, infants, and toddlers!
Hello! My name is Liz. I have an 18 year old daughter who is at college out of state. I work at a surgical center Monday through Friday and I specialize in patient care. Now that my own daughter is away at college, I have a lot of free time on weekends. I have experience caring for young children and babies through babysitting for friends and family. I love spending time with children because it brings back wonderful memories and experiences with my own daughter.
