Hi there! I'm a 28-year-old nanny with five years of experience creating safe, nurturing environments for children. Originally from Santa Barbara, I'm passionate about helping kids thrive. I graduated from SFSU and have been babysitting and nannying throughout my school years. I have continued to keep taking care of children since I graduated. I'm skilled in all aspects of infant care, including feeding, naptime routines, and diaper changing. I also have experience volunteering at a kids club, where I assisted with homework, organized after school activities, and ensured the safety and well being of all children. Additionally, I volunteered at children's cheer camp and worked as a nanny for local families. I'm skilled in planning age appropriate activities, preparing healthy meals, and maintaining structured routines. I love engaging with kids and fostering their growth and development through creative play and educational experiences. Families often describe me as energetic, reliable, entertaining, and creative. Your child's safety and well being are my top priorities. I'm committed to providing a fun and secure environment where they can learn and grow. I believe in open communication and honesty, ensuring that parents are always informed and comfortable with the care their children receive. vaccinated + booster

Hello, My name is Anne and I’m a long-time San Francisco resident living in Bernal Heights. I love working with young people of different ages and have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’ve raised our own two kids and have worked with other people’s children on and off for over 25 years, as an educator and childcare provider. I’m nurturing, organized, and responsible. Being punctual and staying safe are my top priorities. I also love to have fun and go on outdoor adventures! I’m a positive and energetic person with a passion for languages, healthy food, and good stories. Informal training in theatre and expressive arts informs the creative work I do with children. While traveling and living overseas, I have lovingly gathered a mobile library of fun, interactive books in French and Spanish. When our children were young, I helped run a bilingual (Spanish/English) daycare program. I launched an arts program in our Spanish immersion elementary school, where I assisted in teaching art and literacy for over a decade. In tutoring older children for many years, I focused on English and French language skills, writing, and SAT prep. Other professional endeavors include working in the field of public health. I studied in the USA and in France. I am happy to help your family in any way you need. I have a safe car, excellent driving skills, and a clean driving record. I prefer not to do screen time with kids. I am AHA certified in infant/child/adult CPR and first aid. I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid-19 and am up to date on this and other immunizations. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to set up an interview. I have many excellent references, which I'm happy to furnish upon request. I look forward to working with you and your families!!!

“Anne is the absolute best. From the start, it immediately felt like we had a relative coming over to watch our 6 month old son for date night. Anne was punctual, asked all the right questions about bedtime routine, and her communication throughout the night allowed us to enjoy date night worry free! She is clearly a natural with kids. We look forward to having Anne watch our son again soon.”

I’m originally from Colombia and recently moved to San Francisco from Colorado to continue my education while doing what I truly love—supporting families and caring for children. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with an emphasis in Physical Education, and over four years of experience working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as an elementary school teacher, and during the past few years I’ve worked as both an au pair and a nanny, caring for children from 2 months to 16 years old. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I believe every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy planning creative activities, crafts, outdoor adventures, reading, and helping children learn through play. Families describe me as warm, caring, patient, organized, responsible, and dependable. I naturally take initiative, keep routines running smoothly, and love creating a calm, positive environment where both children and parents feel supported. Beyond childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, organizing, errands, and pet care—whatever helps make your family’s day a little easier.

“We hired Itsa for household help. She was very efficient, punctual and was very good at the chores. She helped with laundry, light cleaning, dishes. On the personal front, she is polite and easy to talk to! We plan on continuing to hire her.”

Hello! My name is Lu (short for Luisa—easier to remember, right?). I’m excited to offer occasional babysitting services on weekends, weeknights, and overnight stays. As an experienced ESL teacher with over three years in the classroom, I bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to my work with children. Beyond teaching, I’ve worked as both a live-in and live-out nanny for multiple families, caring for children of all ages. My experience includes managing the needs of larger families—such as four children in two households, three in another— and I’m currently the full-time nanny for two wonderful little ones: a five-year-old and a two year old toddler. I’m an active and creative person who loves spending time outdoors hiking, doing crafts, and engaging children in fun, hands-on activities. For older kids, I’m happy to provide craft or jewelry-making tutorials to help spark their creativity and encourage new skills. I’m known for being responsible, loving, honest, versatile, and open-minded—all qualities that I believe are essential for nurturing and guiding children. I grew up in a family that taught me the importance of respect, responsibility, and self-confidence, and I strive to instill these values in the children I care for. I firmly believe that home is a child’s first school, and I’ll do my best to create an environment where your children feel supported, inspired, and, of course, have a lot of fun! Thank you for considering me to care for your little ones. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and bring my experience and enthusiasm to your household. Warm regards, Lu

“Lu was warm and easy to communicate with, on time and professional, did a great job. Would hire again!”
