Hi, My name is Antje and I am 39 years old. I have been working as a Full-Time Nanny for the last 20 years. In July of 2005 , I started taking care of two little girls - Kiara was 16 months old and Aria was about 3 months old when I started watching them for 45 hours a week in the East Bay. I worked with them for 3 1/2years and it was wonderful to see them grow up. Seeing them write, read , ride their bikes and just look like little adults now seems magical remembering the times when they weren't even walking or talking. =). In January 2009, I moved from the East Bay to San Francisco. Therefore, I started a Nanny Position in San Francisco. Milo had just turned 5 months when I started watching him full-Time in the beginning of that year. His little cousin Sienna joined us at the beginning of February. She was 2 1/2 months old at that point. Starting then we spent 40 fun hours together every week. When they were about 6 months old, we started introducing them to solid foods that either the moms or I cooked for them. Sienna's mom had a really time-consuming job and hardly ever got to see her. Therefore she quit her job at the end of November meaning that they didn't need a Full-Time Nanny anymore. In January 2010 I started nannying little Oliver. He was born in August 2009 and was about 4 more old when I started working with him. Ollie grew into a smart, fun and energetic little man that started pre-school at the end of 2011 which is when I stopped working for them. After moving to San Diego in 2012, I started working for the most wonderful family in March. Brandon and Jason were 11 and 8 years old and its been such a fun ride to help them grow up. Besides doing homework and staying on track with a busy activity schedule, we loved playing board games, bake or enjoy the outdoors. After moving back to San Francisco in March 2015, I got to be full-time with the sweetest little girl for 5 years! Since March 2020, I have been taking care of the greatest brother/sister duo who were 3 months and 25 months when we started our journey together! After 5 years, the position is transitioning from full time to part time due to both kids being in school till 3. While getting to work with all the sweet babies, I earned my undergraduate degree in criminal justice and economics from Cal State East Bay. I am an energetic, creative and really patient person who values an honest communication and feels incredibly lucky to make a kids childhood that much more magical!

“Antje won over our 24-month-old from the elevator ride up! She's a complete natural with kids - spent the whole day engaged in his world, speaking German the entire time. High energy, bonded instantly, and asked all the right questions to become independent in our home. Reliable, punctual, and gained our trust immediately. Highly recommend, especially for families wanting German language exposure.”

Hello! I’m an outgoing childcare expert who taught global policy to middle school and high school students for six years. In this role, I received ongoing training in childhood education and development. Currently I am working on writing and publishing a memoir. I’m a graduate of Northwestern University, where I majored in Economics and Political Science, and last year I completed my masters in Political Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I come from a large family, and I enjoy working with children. My childcare experience includes infants through high school age. I have also tutored extensively on many levels, including grade school math, high school English, and college economics. For fun I like to cook and play Ultimate Frisbee. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to meet some of you soon. :)

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

Joana here. I came from Brazil to SF in 2007, and have been living on Bernal Heights since then. I've been babysitting kids of all ages professionally for the past 15 years, in a wide range of ways. School pickups, taking to activities, sleep overs, date nights, back up nanny for the day, taking kids to museums, zoo, playgrounds, hikes, etc. I have traveled to 25 countries and love sharing my experiences. I own a fully insured car and have a clean driving record. I love the outdoors! I am healthy and usually kids like me. I'm responsible but also fun. I know how to do anything house related and don’t mind helping out. I love pets. I am flexible and adaptable to follow any philosophies that the family has chosen to guide their little ones. Punctuality, positivity and great communication are my main qualities. Hope to meet you soon. Cheers Minimum of 3 hours per job* I am a proud grandma of 2 boys 🩵 ***Please be considerate of my time as I don’t have any work benefits and only cancel if it is a real emergency. I don’t charge any cancellation fee because I believe in the goodness of people’s hearts.
