Hi! I am just ending 8 great years as an after-school nanny and family assistant and before that 7 great years as a preschool teacher, working with kids aged 2. 5 --5. I worked within 3 classrooms, experiencing all the ages from toddlers to pre-k. I have worked with children of all ages on some level - babysitting, preschool, after-school care, summer programs and tutoring - for the past 30 years. I naturally gravitate to children and get on their level pretty easily while also maintaining the responsibility and authority a child might need when not in the care of parents. My care philosophy is very child centered and respectful, similar to the philosophies of RIE, Magda Geber and play based learning. I am available for date nights, after school and weekend care. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read (my children's book library keeps growing), craft activities and cooking (bonus: I do the cleanup!).

Hi! My name is Phia and I would be happy to work with you. I have been working with children professionally since I was 16 but babysat before then. I have worked with children of varying ages, from infants 3 months and older, toddlers, elementary age, all the way up to young teenagers preparing for high school. I graduated from the University of San Francisco with a BA in sociology in May 2022. I now work as a project coordinator supervising youth development and policy at a local non-profit. I still work with babysitting families 1-2 times a week. In the Bay Area, I have worked as an after-school program leader for the YMCA in SFUSD, as well as a classroom aid. Beyond this, I have worked as an interim babysitter and nanny for various families before and during the pandemic. Through my time with the YMCA and other organizations, I have been trained in childhood development and creative education. I enjoy working with kids because it helps me keep in tune with my ability to empathize and stay creative. Children are the expression of a community, so staying in tune with the needs and experiences of youth is better for the community as a whole. Booking and payment policy: Same day cancellation, if you cancel within 4 hours of the booking start time, you are agreeing to pay me 1/2 of lost wages.

“Phia is so great with my kids! She and my toddler especially get along great, and she does an awesome job playing with him. Highly recommend.”

Hello — my name is Melissa! I am offering occasional child care. I’m happy to cover date nights, school or work events, or times you just need to focus on something else. I am a former elementary school teacher (and current medical assistant) with interests in education/tutoring, reading, and spending time outdoors. I can often be found with my kindle by the lake or checking out an East Bay coffee shop. My subject matter expertise while teaching was math and science for elementary students, but I have worked with children as young as infants up through high school age. I started babysitting and tutoring when I was in middle school and have worked with children throughout college and my career. If you think I might be a good fit for you, feel free to send me a message. Looking forward to connecting!

“Melissa was great - attentive, fun, and positive. Our kids loved having her stay with them!”

Hello, my name is Audrey and I have been a nanny for the past 10+ years. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology and Social Behavior and I enjoy working with children ages 1+ year(s) and like providing children independence in what they do. I love helping children develop healthy coping skills as well as the freedom to fully express themselves. In my free time, I like to meditate, read, knit and make art. Please reach out to me with any questions you might have, I look forward to working with you and your young ones :)

Hi families! I’m Fernanda a warm, reliable, and creative nanny based in Sausalito. I currently care for two wonderful girls (ages 7 and 9) and offer occasional babysitting for other families in the Bay Area. I have a background as a pediatric nutritionist, which helps me support children’s health, learning, and routines in a fun and balanced way. I’ve also worked as a youth leader, planning educational and recreational activities so I love keeping kids active, curious, and happy! Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, and full of positive energy. I always make sure children feel safe, loved, and have fun while their parents are away. I’m also comfortable driving, helping with homework, or caring for pets. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter who brings both care and creativity, I’d love to meet your family! 💛
