Violet V.
- 3 years paid experience
- 4 miles

Hello! My name is Violet, and I have 7 years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny exclusively for about 2 years and have cared for kids of all ages, although my "specialty" is with younger ones! I love caring for infants, as I am studying to become a doula with future goals of becoming an ultrasound technician. I show up every day with an open mind, empathy, patience, and a smile. I love to connect with everyone in the family. I also know a lot of baby sign because I am learning ASL, which can really help those younger ones greatly with their language skills!

Hello! A little about me - My name is Joanna, I’m currently a part time student at DVC. I’m CPR certified and I have a BLS. I have experience with children with disabilities. Since the age of 17 I have worked with children on the side as a nanny. I’m now 25 and between those years I’ve worked with many different families. I used to be a certified nursing assistant but decided to do something I really enjoyed which was working with children. That is when I became a 1:1 aid at a school. I enjoy working with children the most because they’re always such happy souls. Im very loving and caring for others and I tend to be silly a lot when I’m around kids. Working at the school is part-time with little hours which is why I’d love to continue being a nanny for the right family. I like to be punctual and attentive. I’m a very fast learner. I like to make arts and crafts, play board games, read, and enjoy nature. I’m able to help with homework and light house duties if needed. Your children are guaranteed to be in good hands with me! :)

Hello Parents! I live with passion and I share a great deal of it within the scope of my compassion when caring for children and getting the opportunity to be a part of family/families in caregiving. Youth have been a part of my life in some capacity for nearly moving into 24 years. Notably, I have cared in the private caregiving sector consistently for the past ~13 years in SF (native, Bay Area-San Mateo- SJ-East Bay-Peninsula with experience working within those areas). My experience ranges from Infants/toddlers are my specialty. Experience with share, multiples, twins, and special need care in the classroom/clincial, 1:1 in home (ASD/ABA therapy trained Behavior Technician Paraprofessional). I enjoy incorporating my love for music training/painting, health education (PH) background and incredible joy for the outdoors while working with youth. I consider myself loyal, honest, dedicated, giving, loving, consistent, confident, patient, reliable and kind. I love to laugh and smile, value healthy communication and reach far beyond my responsibilities. I view my part as a nanny/caregiver is such like a village with a family/families and I hope I can find a new family/families that would humbly know how special your children/child would be in my life, on a daily basis. I have a wealth of unconditional love to give children and as a nanny I’m honored to be able and share it amply, able to assist in as a step in parent, and part teacher as well. I practice positive parenting methods, strong subscriber to 100% limited to no-screen time which stem from my Montessori roots. I enjoy play based learning, inside and out! Individual growth is the best! I am extremely knowledgeable of amazing resources (no cost and many others across the scale) all across SF neighborhoods (including the Peninsula and South Bay extremely well) to fully provide and assist to foster children so they blossom into their own individual, special selves. “Assist in bringing out their own colors.” Warmest Regards to your family, Madeline/Maddy

My name is Samantha Aranibar, an international student with a strong background in childcare and pet care. As the oldest of three siblings and six cousins, I took on the role of caregiver from a young age, often looking after my younger family members while my parents managed busy schedules. Through these experiences, I developed a deep love for both children and animals, and I'm interested in finding opportunities to earn extra income while continuing to do what I enjoy most: helping families and caring for their little ones, furry or not!

Natalie V.

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! 😊😊

Casandra G.
- 4 years paid experience

As a Child Development major, I am passionate about nurturing and guiding children through every stage of growth. I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, including twins, and being part of their milestones—whether it’s teaching them how to read, helping them find their words, guiding them as they take their first steps, or showing them how to do everyday things like putting on their shoes, getting dressed, or even learning laundry and manners. What I love most is seeing their excitement when they accomplish something new. Watching them grow into independent, bright, and wonderful young individuals brings me so much joy and fulfillment. For me, childcare isn’t just a job—it’s an opportunity to support children as they discover themselves, celebrate their achievements, and develop into their unique potential.
