Hi! My name is Mariana, I’m an art student and childcare provider with 6+ years of experience currently offering backup care and occasional babysitting. Also open to pet sit! (I’m a dog owner and lover hehe). I’m a responsible, dedicated and experienced professional nanny with a background in art education - very creative and patient. I absolutely love working with kids and have been watching infants through toddlerhood and kids - including siblings and experience in a nanny share set up. My responsibilities have included driving to/ from school and activities, museum/ library/ parks visits, arts and crafts and help with school projects/ homework. My job also involves cooking/ cleaning after the kids and running errands for the families if need to. I’m originally from Brazil and I love traveling and learn new cultures. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and I’m learning Italian. I can adapt and learn with ease. Currently I have a fix schedule with a couple of families and looking forward working with new amazing families either in a regular basis or occasionally. Open to last minute backup care if I’m available - i keep my calendar up to date. Happy to schedule phone/ video interviews and I do my best to keep parents comfortable while their kiddos are on my care! Thank you :)
“It was my first time leaving my baby with someone and Mariana eased all my worries and handled everything (including bedtime) like a pro! ”
I grew up with 3 sisters and 2 brothers and we had dogs and cats. I played sports and first babysat at the age of 13. I love the beach and body surfing, I love to sing to the little ones and teach them songs, I like to have fun reading books, eating food, playing with just about anything (just a glass of ice water is entertainment for 30 minutes with a 15 month old-- yes, ice.. first it's solid and then magic-it disappears). I love to problem solve... or use the tool of distraction. And I do believe that "to every task that must be done there is an element of fun". I work part-time at the Ferry Building Book Passage and have been there for two and a half years, it's a great environment and I enjoy working with the public. There a lot of kids who come in on the weekends and I have fun getting to know them and what they like to read. I have been taking care of a year and a half boy for spurts this past year and it's been so much fun. We would go to the Main Library storytime for an outting and it was a real treasure. It is such a pleasure to work with kids, as they are so much in to the moment.
“Thank you so much for your help! Would definitely recommend Lorraine, she was wonderful.”

Hello wonderful San Francisco Families, With over 20 years of experience working with children ranging in age 0-12, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in early childhood development. I hold a formal education in teaching, which i have continuously applied throughout my time I support and nurture young learners. My professional journey includes roles as both a former au-pair and a full time nanny, where i developed strong, lasting relationship with families and provided attentive, individualized care for children. Throughout the years, I have been committed to helping families create supportive and enriching environments for their children to thrive. I am cpr/1st aid certified, fully vaccinated (dtab, covid, flu). I received my Masters Degree in HR management, but I have always had passion to coming back and working with little ones again. I hope you will consider my candidacy and let me help you with taking care of your little ones. Best, Mila

Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!
“Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.”
