Hi, I'm Nathalia! I've been caring for kids since I was young — babysitting toddlers through school-age children for family and family friends for as long as I can remember. I also spent about a year and a half as a preschool aide working with children ages 2–4, supporting early learning in a structured classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, which gives me a helpful lens for understanding how kids think, communicate, and grow. Beyond childcare, I'm also comfortable with well-trained pets and happy to help with furry family members too! What I love most about caregiving is building genuine connections — kids have such curious, energetic minds, and I find so much joy in being a trusted, nurturing presence for them.

My Tsering With over 28 years of dedicated childcare experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every child I care for. Originally from India, I immigrated to the US in 1995, carrying with me a deep-rooted appreciation for family values and nurturing care. For the past two decades, I have had the privilege of serving as a trusted caregiver for a single family, where l've lovingly tended to the needs of their children from infancy to adolescence. My journey with this family spans 20 years, during which I've not only provided essential childcare but also fostered meaningful connections and become an integral part of their lives. From soothing newborns to guiding teenagers, my role has evolved with each developmental stage, allowing me to witness and support the growth and development of each child under my care. My commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment is unwavering, and my approach is grounded in patience, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. I deeply value the importance of imparting kindness, respect, and compassion in every interaction with children. Through my years of experience, I've honed a diverse skill set that encompasses everything from daily care routines and educational support to emotional guidance and household management. I am adept at adapting to the unique needs of each child and family, ensuring that every child receives the attention, care, and support they deserve. As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I am eager to continue making a positive impact on the lives of children and families, drawing upon my rich tapestry of experiences and unwavering dedication to childcare.

Hi families, I’m Aisha, a child therapist, expressive arts practitioner, and lifelong caregiver with decades of experience supporting children, teens, families, animals, plants, and community. My approach is caring, connective, attuned, expressive, and deeply imaginative. I specialize in helping children feel safe, engaged, emotionally supported, and genuinely seen. I love integrating art, nature, imagination, sensory play, emotional regulation tools, and gentle structure into time spent together. In addition to my clinical background, I’m also an artist and huge animal lover, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets and happy to help care for furry family members too. Families often describe me as both gentle and strong, nurturing, attentive, intuitive, and highly trustworthy. I’m especially skilled with sensitive, creative, neurodivergent, queer, or emotionally expressive children, and I value building authentic relationships with both kids and parents. Available for babysitting, caregiving support, creative engagement, school pickups, evening care, and pet-friendly households. Looking forward to connecting 🌿

Hello! My name is Erin, and I am interested in being a part to full time nanny or providing occasional babysitting for your family. I have 15 years of professional experience working with kids as little as infants and young people as old as 17. I can provide written and/or oral recommendations from all past positions. I have over 5 years of formal classroom teaching experience, and over 10 years of after school and summer programming experience. I have worked with children across the country from Washington D.C. to Kansas City to Tucson and the Bay Area. I have taught English Language Arts, Science, Math and History to a variety of age groups. Throughout my time as a teacher I also gained invaluable skills in helping young people develop socially and emotionally. It is important to me to work the whole child and whatever setting I find myself in. I grew up in the Bay Area and am happy to return here to look for work and build community! As a babysitter and nanny I am always excited to: help kids with their homework, provide tutoring to get ahead academically, play safely outside, play all kinds of games, make meals, read stories, do arts and crafts as well as much more. I am comfortable watching up to three children at the same time; for up to twelve hours at a time. I have my own vehicle, and I can easily provide safe and reliable transportation. I hope to hear from you soon! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
