Hello! I’m Sathiya, a cheerful, dedicated, and detail-oriented nanny, babysitter, pet sitter, and family assistant originally from Bangkok, Thailand, now happily based in San Francisco since 2019. With over 10 years of hands-on experience raising my own children and more than 4–5 years in professional caregiving, I specialize in nurturing, patient, and attentive care for children of all ages including newborns. I take pride in creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where little ones can thrive. My clients consistently describe me as trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful, and many are happy to recommend my services. I’m currently open to occasional evening (after 6 PM) and weekend roles. Along with childcare, I’m also available to assist with pet sitting, house sitting, and household management from keeping things tidy and organized to managing vendors or overseeing home maintenance. I genuinely enjoy helping families run their homes smoothly and efficiently. I bring professionalism, kindness, and care to everything I do, and I believe in creating calm, supportive systems that make family life a little easier. I’d be happy to provide my resume, references, background check, and vaccination records upon request. Looking forward to connecting and supporting your family with warmth and excellence! Warmly, Sathiya

Hi! I am a 22 year old recent graduate of NYU, and have moved back to the bay. While at NYU, I worked with a family for two years weekly helping with cooking, transportation, hw help and much more. In addition to that I have worked with many families occasionally as needed. I have tutored, cooked, cleaned, and have lots of experience with bedtime routines for a wide range of ages. I also did a summer internship at a women's shelter where I worked one on one with toddlers. I am about to start a job here in the Bay Area where I will be teaching at an elementary school program. As past of the onboarding requirements I have gotten fingerprinted, as well as TB testing. I have driven a car for 5 years and have a clean record. I have my own vehicle for parents looking for help with transportation! I truly value and appreciate the time I spend with kids, and have learned so much from them. I can confidently say that I will provide a safe, reliable, and fun environment for any kid that I babysit.

About Me Hi! My name is Evelyn and I’m an experienced educator with over a decade of working with children. I have a deep passion for childcare and education, and I love creating fun, engaging, and nurturing environments where kids can learn, explore, and grow. Whether it’s through imaginative play, hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, or storytime, I believe in making every moment meaningful and enjoyable. As a fun-loving, caring, and patient caregiver, I understand the importance of building strong connections with children and families. I take pride in creating a safe and structured environment while also allowing kids to express themselves, be creative, and develop important life skills. From helping with daily routines to keeping little ones engaged with enriching activities, I strive to make the babysitting experience both enjoyable and stress-free for parents. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support families who value a multilingual environment for their children. Whether it’s introducing new vocabulary through play or reinforcing language skills in a natural way, I enjoy incorporating both languages into daily interactions. Beyond my love for working with children, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and exploring the Bay Area. I love discovering new parks, museums, and cultural spots, as well as trying out different food places. I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm into my childcare approach—encouraging kids to explore, learn, and have fun along the way. I would love the opportunity to connect with you and see how I can support your family’s needs. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! ♥️

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊😊

Hello Families! My name is Luna and I am a therapeutic nanny. What is a therapeutic nanny you ask? Its a childcare provider who is trained and skilled in therapeutic enrichment of kids and therapeutic coaching of parents. Essentially I bring all the fun and exciting aspects of the nanny experience while incorporating therapeutc behavioral support for both kids and parents. I have many years of working with youth in community based work who need support in emotional/behavioral management, Neurodivergent coaching (spectrum, ADHD, PTSD, etc), anxiety management, families who adopted or are fostering, and families who experienced trauma or separation/ disconnection/divorve. My approach is extremely strength-based and my goal is to support your youth in building a healthy confidence/relationship to their needs. How I love to engage in my work is by creating a fun and safe space that also creates a trauma informed and culturally responsive environment where your kids can flourish into their best selves with boundaries and limits tailored to their very unique personalities. I have the capacity to work with big spirited kids along with kids who are quiet/need more introverted time. So let's definitely break out the arts and crafts while going on adventures discovering to insects and plants!

Hello! My name is Karla, and in 2023, I moved to Kailua-Kona with the intent to work at Alakaii Academy, a preschool. This was my first experience working with children, and I am very grateful to Mrs. Pablo for giving me the opportunity to work there with just my caregiver qualification. During my time at Alakaii Academy, I learned more than I had expected. I gained a better understanding of child development and taught the little ones how to socialize for the first time. I have the patience to listen to them and help them make the best choices, such as understanding the importance of cleaning up after play and potty training. In my toddler classroom, I also worked with children preparing for kindergarten, assisting the teacher in communicating with them and maintaining a quiet environment so they could focus on listening. At that age, the kids were learning to read and write their names, so I learned various techniques and used paperworks to help them start writing, incorporating 20-minute sessions of dancing or yoga. I really enjoyed this job; however, the school was forced to close due to building damage. I am a loving and dedicated bilingual nanny with over 1.5 years of experience caring for infants and toddlers, including time as a preschool assistant teacher. I’m passionate about helping children grow through creativity, gentle guidance, and play-based learning. I'm currently looking for a part-time or full-time position with a kind family who values clear communication and cultural diversity. 📍 Available in San Francisco 💼 References available 📝 CPR/First Aid trained and willing to update. Gracias!
