Booked by 52 families in Albany, CA

Hi my name is Laura I get the best out of myself and I try to teach them to do their best. It is a very rewarding job. I like to do activities outside such as reading, dancing, practicing and learning other languages. Also I like to do excercise, ride a bicycle, listen to English music, swimming, cooking, driving, visiting museums and having art exposure, culture and fashion; I love nature and travel.

“Laura helped us for back up care for our regular nanny. My daughter warmed up to her easily, and they had a great day together. It's clear Laura knows how to navigate early toddlerhood, and I was able to have peace of mind as a WFH mom.”

Hi! I’m Lili, a San Francisco nanny with nearly 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and school-aged children. Families I work with describe me as reliable, warm, and someone their kids genuinely look forward to seeing. I currently work with several repeat families in neighborhoods like Pacific Heights, Cole Valley, Inner Sunset, and the Marina. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Business Administration. My education, combined with years of caregiving, has strengthened my communication, patience, and problem-solving skills. I love creating fun and engaging routines for kids that balance play, creativity, and structure. Whether we’re doing art projects, exploring outside, reading together, or working on homework, I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I have experience with school pickups, bedtime routines, meal prep, outdoor activities, and helping kids wind down at the end of the day. I especially enjoy working with school-aged children and helping with homework, creative projects, or practicing Spanish through play and conversation. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fluent in Spanish, and have my own car so I can help with transportation if needed. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help families with light household support such as kids’ laundry, tidying play areas, meal prep, errands, and general organization. Families I work with appreciate that I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to each child’s needs. I do my best to follow each family’s routines and preferences so kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care.

Booked by 8 families in Albany, CA

Hello, I am currently available for part-time or one time caregiving support. I am looking to supplement my retirement by continuing to do what I am most passionate about—working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 17 years of experience as a paraeducator in special education. In addition, I have 18 years of experience as a respite provider working with ambulatory clients on the autism spectrum. For the past 3.5 years, I have also served as co-owner and teacher at an infant daycare. The last two years I’ve helped with my daughter’s different foster babies (ages 3 days- 2 years) after work and on the weekends (Currently there are no fosters.) My experience is further informed by being a parent to a child on the autism spectrum, which has deepened my understanding, empathy, and commitment to quality care. I would welcome the opportunity to offer supportive, compassionate, and reliable care to your family. I have my immunizations up to date: Covid 12/25- Booster Flu 12/25 TDAP 5/22 MMR 6/22

Hi there! I’m Naweera, and I have several years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from 9-month-old infants to children over 10 years old. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, reliable, and warm, and I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to childcare. I also have experience as a tutor, so I’m happy to help with homework across subjects like math (algebra, geometry, trig), English, and the Arts. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light cleanup, and I’m also great with pets. I like to keep kids engaged through activities, games, and conversation rather than just screen time. I especially enjoy spending time with children outdoors and fostering curiosity through activities that engage their minds and senses, such as reading, nature walks, creative play, arts and crafts, and other hands-on experiences. Happy to provide references upon request. I can't wait to meet your family!
