Hi parents! ๐
My name is Anna, I'm 26 years old, Swiss-American ๐จ๐ญ๐บ๐ธ, and I live in NOPA, San Francisco.
I began working in childcare in 2018. For the past 8 years, I have been a trusted babysitter and nanny for Bay Area families alongside my university studies and corporate HR career.
๐ถ Childcare Experience
โข Long-term nanny positions:
2020: Cared for two children (ages 4 & 7) for 3 months.
2021: Cared for two children (ages 2 & 5) for 5 months.
2018โPresent: Occasional babysitting for Bay Area families (ages 6 monthsโ15 years).
โข Experienced supporting children with ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, learning disabilities, neurodivergence, and emotional regulation challenges.
โข Former 1st Grade German Teaching Assistant for a class of 8 students.
๐ถ Pet Friendly ๐
Iโm extremely pet-friendly! From October 2023โMay 2024, I cared for two dogs full-time for 7 months while my roommate traveled for business weekly. Iโm comfortable with all pets and have no allergies
๐ผ Professional & Educational Background
๐ UC Irvine graduate with Honors (B.A. in Political Science, 3.9 GPA).
My background is in Human Resources, and I babysit because I genuinely enjoy working with children. While childcare is not my full-time profession, I bring 8+ years of experience, including nanny positions, classroom experience, and ongoing babysitting for Bay Area families. My HR career has strengthened my patience, empathy, and communication skills, which are equally important when caring for children and building trust with families.

โAnna is an amazing sitter, I can't say enough good things about her. She was so engaging with my *very* active 6 year old. My kid really liked her and he even said she helped him navigate a social situation in the park when some kids were not being nice. Anna is warm, creative, and responsible, and one of the best caregivers I've seen. โ
