A little bit about me
Hi there! My name's Em. I'm originally from New Orleans, but I love living in SF now. By trade, I'm an opera singer, so I can't wait to make music and sing songs with your kids! I'm a fantastic cook and baker; I really don't mind cooking. I encourage children to get creative throughout the day and find new, fun activities. I have experience working with special needs/disabled children. I plan on getting CPR certified in the next few weeks as well.

A little bit about me
I have over 10 years of experience in nannying and childcare. Most recently, I was employed as a private chef and household assistant on a fully staffed estate while also serving as a part-time nanny for a child from 14 months to age three. I especially enjoy working with infants, though I have experience caring for children from infancy through toddlerhood and beyond. I hold ECE units and a Bachelor’s degree, and have recently worked in a licensed preschool. I pride myself in being a supportive extension of families, working with parents to ensure a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Ellie, and I’ve been a pediatric ICU nurse for the past 7 years. Caring for children has always been my passion, both in my professional and personal life. As the oldest of four kids, I naturally took on a caregiving role from an early age and always knew I wanted to work with children in some capacity.
I’m currently looking to do some nannying on the side as a way to switch things up and bring my experience into a more personal, home-based setting. I’m calm under pressure, attentive, and love creating a safe, engaging environment for kids to thrive in — whether that means helping with homework, playing games, or simply offering a nurturing presence.
With my medical background, you can also feel confident knowing your child is in the hands of someone who is trained to handle emergencies and deeply understands children’s developmental and emotional needs.
Looking forward to connecting with the right family!

A little bit about me
Hi there, my name is Rekha and I'm bubbly 20-year-old with solid conviction. I currently study public health at SFSU and I have been doing child care my most of my life! My favorite age group are toddlers, but I have experience with all ages.
I'm looking for a part-time position and my rates start at $20/hour for one child. I have worked as a nanny for one family for the past 10 months and I have been a consistent babysitter for 2 other families. I'm CPR certified, and have taken online courses in child development.
My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing outdoor activities, pretend play, crafts, and special outings when appropriate.
In my personal time I love to cook for my friends and family (with varying results), listen to music (recently I've been really into soul and 90s French hip-hop) and I go swimming at every chance I get. I look forward to meeting you!
