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!

“We had a great experience with Claudia and our kids loved her!”

Hello! Ive been working with children my entire working life. I began teaching swimming lessons to infants through pre-teens, babysitting infants-toddlers, and working as a high school mentor before going to college. I got a degree in Spanish literature and language in WA state (University of Puget Sound) and taught middle and high school in Andorra as a Fulbright fellow (borders Spain and France). After returning to the US, I went to Stanford to get my Masters in Education and worked with students for seven years across the Bay Area. I now work as a preschool/infant Montessori style educator/nanny, mentor, tutor, and educational consultant, in addition to pursuing my art in fusion dance and vocal performance. I love children, believe it is a life mission to help them feel understood and empowered, and have been described as quite the "Mary Poppins" advice, lullabies, and giant bag included :-) **Update: While I am currently looking for part-time and/or tutoring help, I am also available for occasional babysitting on the weekends/week nights!

Hi! I'm a part-time student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for working with children. I spent several years as a camp counselor working with special needs children through high school and college, which gave me a deep appreciation for patient, attentive, and individualized care. I have a background in engineering which means I'm reliable, detail oriented, and great at problem solving. I also grew up in a Chinese household with Mandarin as my first language, which I'm happy to incorporate naturally into our time together if that's something your family values. I'm calm, warm, and genuinely enjoy engaging with kids through play, creative activities, reading, and exploring. I believe every child deserves to feel seen and supported. I have a pediatric CPR, AED and first aid certification, and am taking child development courses. I’m happy to provide references :)

Hi families! I'm María, an Elementary Teacher from Spain with over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages—from newborns to teens. Over the years, I’ve been a babysitter, camp counselor, activity leader, and spent a wonderful year as an au pair here in California—an experience that made me fall in love with the Bay Area, where I now live! I’m passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, guiding routines, or simply being a caring presence, I always adapt to each child’s needs and personality. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I love to bring creativity, communication, and even a little language learning into our time together. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and anything that makes your family’s day smoother. If you're looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely dedicated to kids of all ages, I’d love to meet you!

“Maria is incredible with my kids. She understands them so well, and she built rapport with them so fast. She is very understanding of their hard moments, too. I recommend her super highly—she’s one of the best caretakers we’ve worked with before.”
