A little bit about me

Hi - My name is Margaret (Maggie) and I graduated from Michigan State University with degrees in International Relations and Accounting. I've been working with kids since I was 15 and love it. I started by watching my younger brother, and then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Coming from a big family, I have always grown up playing with all of my cousins aging from toddlers to young adults. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I whip out some board games or books. In my free time, I love hiking, reading and cooking.

A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Anna, a UCSC graduate and nanny! I have a passion for working with babies and kids, and I have been a full and part time nanny for five years. I am currently a bookseller and run a story time in San Francisco. I have great relationships with the families I have worked with in the past. I live in San Francisco and attend SJSU online while pursuing my masters. I currently share a car so I have limited access to a vehicle of my own but I have my license and a perfect record.

A little bit about me

Hello,

My name is Sonia. I am a nursing student at USF, and I recently moved to SF for school. I am looking for a job that can work with my school schedule, because nursing can be tough. I love to work with kids, and I enjoy helping babysit family and friend's children. I thought this would be a great job to take on, because I am caring, reliable, and trustworthy. If you have any more questions about myself, please feel free to call me and we can chat. I guarantee you, you will be in good hands :)

A little bit about me

I am a nanny from China with over 10 years of professional experience. I have a genuine love for children. Most recently, I finished raising two young boys—now aged 7 and 5—whom I cared for continuously from birth until the present day; as both have now started elementary school, my care is no longer required. I am attentive, patient, and highly responsible in my work with children. I speak Chinese fluently and can teach children the language; I also possess basic English skills sufficient for everyday communication. I am currently seeking a new nanny position and am available to start work immediately. I enjoy engaging children in games, reading stories, and participating in outdoor activities; I am also skilled at preparing healthy, nutritious meals to support their healthy growth and development. I reside in San Francisco and am looking for work opportunities in the local area.
