A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Lodovica and I am an international student from Italy. I moved to the U.S six years ago to attend college at Penn State as a fencing athlete. Now I am currently studying Clinical Psychology at California Northstate Univerisity as a graduate student. I fluently speak English, and Italian and I can understand and speak a little bit of Spanish.

As my major in undergrad was psychology and I am currently training as a therapist, I love interacting with people and kids. I had experience working with kids from 2-10 years old, adolescents, and special needs kids as well.

I am currently finishing my first PsyD school year and I am not planning to go back to Italy for the summer. For this reason, I am looking for a part-time job for the month of June and July before starting school again.

A little bit about me

Hello dear family!

I think that when we travel we don't change places, but ideas, we open our minds, we know other ways of being and understanding the world. My name is María Luisa Ortiz or Malú I am from Colombia and I believe that cultural exchanges are the best way to understand the most basic and important for any human being, the sense of humanity, love, respect and empathy for the other, for ideas and cultures different from me.

This is not usually taught at school, nor at home, just traveling and meeting people and cultures. That is why I am passionate about being an nanny and teaching you all the wonderful Latin and Colombian culture, our history, gastronomy, music, etc ... It is also the best way I find to practice and improve my English for maximum 6 month.

Would you like to talk and know me more?

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in San Francisco, CA

Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in San Francisco, CA for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.

We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.

What Is a Short-Term Nanny?

A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.

Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in San Francisco, CA

A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.

What to Consider Before You Hire

Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.

Short-Term Nanny Interview Questions

Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:

  • Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
  • How quickly could you start?
  • Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
  • How would you get to know our routines quickly?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?

At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
