Hi there! Looking for families that need a date night sitter or occasional coverage etc! My name is Claudia and I have been nannying full time for years. I am a nanny/caregiver and a family assistant as well as a certified lifeguard + swim instructor (First Aid and CPR certifications valid) and animal lover!! I am college educated as well (CCSF and SSU). I’m here to make your life easier, so that you can have a worry free night out or work day! I have lots experience working with very busy families with siblings that need to be picked up and driven to various activities, helping with homework, running errands, meal prep, organizing, laundry, bath time, feeding pets and juggling schedules and medical appointments! I will always make sure your children are having fun (playing games, art, sport activities) and are safe at all times, ensuring smooth pickups and drop offs so that they can arrive to their activities/extracurriculars on time safely, and effortlessly. I’m reliable and enjoy taking care of children & teaching, I love swimming and tennis. I have been working with children since I was 14. I’m fun, passionate, attentive, bubbly, responsible and caring. I speak fluent (as well as reading and writing fluently) French, English, Spanish and some Italian. I promise that your children will have a great time with me as their safety first nanny! I have my own car and I’m a very safe driver!

Hello! My name is Livia. I’m a 32-year-old Brazilian childcare provider with over 10 years of experience working with children. My journey started in Brazil volunteering at daycares, church programs, and babysitting for local families. After moving to the USA, I served as an Au Pair for 2 years and have been working as a professional nanny in the Bay Area ever since, including long-term roles with wonderful local families. Currently, I am in a career transition while pursuing my studies, which is why I am focusing on part-time and occasional babysitting jobs. Childcare remains a passion of mine, and I continue to offer reliable, high-quality care to families in the area. I’d love to connect, meet your family, and chat about my background or answer any questions you have about me!
I have childcare experience caring for my three younger siblings, including children ages 0–14. as well as looking after family friends’ children. Since April 2020, I have gained experience supervising children, helping with meals and daily routines, organizing activities, and many more. I also volunteered as a Youth Program Assistant from October 2024 to May 2025, where I supervised children during after-school activities and encouraged teamwork and positive interactions. In addition to childcare, I help care for my disabled grandmother, which has helped me develop patience, compassion, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility toward others. My current job where my position is food service has further strengthened my communication, teamwork, organization, and ability to work in a fast-paced environment. I am dependable, caring, willing to learn, and committed to providing safe, respectful, and attentive care to children and individuals who need assistance.
Hi there! I’m Scout. I’m a reliable, friendly, and creative caregiver with experience working with kids from toddler age through high school. In addition to my day job as a swim instructor in San Francisco, I’ve taught after-school programs, professionally run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for children ages 9-16 (and casually for family and friends of all ages), and spent most of last year as a live-in caregiver for two children under 10 before the family moved out of town. I bring patience, empathy, and a love of hands-on learning to every job. Always happy to help with homework, organize crafts and games, or help keep things calm and structured during busy moments. Kids tend to feel comfortable and confident around me, and I take pride in creating a fun, supportive environment for them to learn and grow. I love how so often the littlest humans are the most authentic (and, at times, brutally and hilariously honest) of us all. I’m also a life-long cat lover (I grew up with some incredibly beloved kitties back home in NYC, and I currently have a sweet boy who loves spending his evenings switching between my roommates and my rooms for snuggles), and am always happy to help out with kitties. I’m also happy to help out with chores around the house or running errands, as I get that having a few extra tasks off your plate can make a day far less overwhelming. When I’m not working with kids or giving swimming lessons, you can find me planning my next big hike (I recently completed the Appalachian Trail), reading, spending time with my family, or working on a new D&D campaign.
“We absolutely love having Scout care for our kids. They are incredibly energetic, playful, and fully engaged. As a swim instructor, they confidently swim with the kids and actively teach them, which has been amazing for building both skills and confidence. They also jump right into imaginative play—Barbies, LEGOs, and creative games—and love getting outside for hikes and adventures. Our kids adore them, and we always felt they were safe, happy, and having so much fun. We would highly recommend Scout to any family looking for someone active, trustworthy, and genuinely great with kids.”
I really enjoy spending time with kids and keeping them busy with fun, creative activities. I like playing games, doing arts and crafts, and painting. I speak Ukrainian and Russian fluently, and I also speak intermediate English.
“I highly recommend Nataliya! She spent quality time painting and doing puzzles with our child, took them to the library, and made sure they were well-fed and engaged throughout the day. Nataliya was warm, attentive, and caring, and we would happily have her babysit for us again.”

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
