Hi! My name is Diana and I grew up in San Francisco. The past year I've worked with autistic kids both in-home and in school. I love caring for children because of their creativity and endless curiosity! I think it's important to provide children with a fun, caring environment and I enjoy sharing my love of art and crafting with my kids. I look forward to meeting you!

A little bit about me
Hi, I'm Malia (pronounced Mah-lee-ah), 28, passionate about childcare. I started as a swim instructor and lifeguard at San Diego's YMCA for 4.5 years. In 2015, I became a live-in nanny in Milan, caring for twins and three boys until mid-2016. From 2016 to 2018, I supported girls aged 8 and 10 until their schedules changed. During the pandemic, I was a preschooler's nanny and online school helper for 3 years. Now managing an elementary school office, I organize events, support teachers, and ensure smooth operations. It's fulfilling to witness children's growth and learning. Each role, from teaching swimming to guiding academic progress, deepened my understanding of child development and commitment to nurturing environments where children flourish.

A little bit about me
I am currently in college doing prerequisites to become a cardiovascular technologist. I am working part-time doing retail but need something that can bring in some extra income. I am an auntie to 13 nieces & nephews! I have also worked as a paid babysitter for many years now so I am very comfortable with the job position. I also became CPR certified through my schooling as well so that is definitely helpful.

Nanny Hanna
"Hanna had a warm and patient approach to connect with the children of different ages.
She was supportive and encouraging of each student and trying to help them learn, interact, and build confidence.
I believe her skills and conduct will transfer well into a nanny position."

Nanny Lessley

Nanny Sofi
"My kids love Sofi! Sofi is the kindest and sweetest. She helped with my kids while I had to work. I was nervous at first finding someone to trust with my kids but soon realized I had nothing to worry about with Sofi. She stared with our family when my kids were 4, 6 and 9. She formed relationships with each of my kids and took such good care for them. I highly recommend Sofi!!"
