"Amy is a very energetic, hardworking, clean & generous caretaker. She cared for our daughter from ages 6 months to 2.5 years and helped a lot around the house. She is very patient and holds a high bar for safety & cleanliness of our child and would do extra tasks around the house without asking. She proactively found fun things for our daughter to do around the city (free events, classes, zoo) and took her on the bus / muni for these outings without our prompting, which we were very happy about. When our daughter was sick and had trouble sleeping, she’d go into her room and hold her hand through the crib until she fell asleep. Our daughter is starting school now - we’re grateful to all the love and care Mimi has given our daughter!"

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Emma Manis, and I am a 23 year old graduate of UC Berkeley. I am a primary school teacher, formerly teaching 1st, 7th, and 8th grade, and I currently teach 4th/5th grade. As a teacher, I have extensive experience working with whole classes full of children, and am very successful in enriching my students academically and social-emotionally. I am looking for a summer job as as an evening nanny/date night babysitter any weekday or weekend. I have extensive experience nannying, along with quite a bit of experience tutoring and mentoring children of all age levels. I am CPR and First Aid Certified under the National CPR Foundation. I love children and am high energy enough to play with the kids and stay alert to keep them safe. I do bed time with kids well, and I am a night owl so staying up until you’re home will not be a problem. I can meal prep and clean up, and I am a safe driver with a perfect driving record. Let me know if you’re interested in having me help out!

A little bit about me
Hi Parents,
My name is Maria, I am an experienced nanny who is looking for a loving family in the Noe Valley or surrounding neighborhoods. As a Diamond Heights resident of 25+years, I have explored all the best age-appropriate parks and recreational activities these hills have to offer! My primary language is Spanish and speak English pretty well. I would love to join a family who would appreciate me teaching their child Spanish as this is a really great way to connect with the SF community.
I am looking to join a share-care arrangement and have experience working with two families but open to working starting off with one family in the meantime. I'm available for on-call and date nights as well.
I have excellent references upon request!
Looking forward to meeting your family!

"Being a single mother and working two jobs, I never wanted to seek for a nanny but things happen. My children are very shy to strangers but loved Jailin, they were very sad when she moved! Definitely recommend having her as a nanny. Jailin kept on top of my children’s set schedule throughout the day. I was very worried in the beginning of the pandemic with school transitioning from in person to online. But kids stayed entertained whenever she came around."
