A little bit about me

Hi!- I’m a college student studying social work and I have previous child experience with all ages, from those younger than one year old, up to teenage years; but I’m most familiar with toddlers. I’m currently looking for extra hours at the end of the week or the weekend. I’m one of the oldest cousins in my family, so that role automatically comes with babysitting responsibilities. I’m skilled in meal prep, activity planning, diaper changes, and I have my own car. I love watching kids learn and seeing where their curiosity leads them.

I also have pet care and house sitting experience. I’m comfortable with any animal from dogs or cats, to amphibians and reptiles. I’m also able to cook and clean if needed.

A little bit about me

My name is Anisha! I’m 26 years old and coming back to nannying again after a few years working in the nonprofit space. I have about three years of experience working with children, including working at a preschool, tutoring elementary school children/assisting with distance learning, and working as a nanny for kids aged 3-12.

About me: I worked as a nanny for much of my early 20s before transitioning to a social work position at a local nonprofit. I spent three years advocating for unhoused individuals and families in San Francisco before deciding to pursue my education further in order to become a teacher.

I bring with me a passion for books, art, and music, which I love to share with the kids I nanny. I look forward to meeting a family that finds me to be compatible with their needs!
