We are expecting a baby in Nov and are looking for a family to Nanny-share with.

I heard that there was an infant group that met at Axis cafe just to socialize (and breastfeed or whatever). Is this true and, if so, can I get scheduling information? I just had a baby, am getting a little stir crazy and am looking for some social interaction.

Hello, My daughter (1st grade at Starr King) and I have lived on Potrero Hill for two years now in a spacious 4 bedroom, 4 bath, split level apartment (two kitchens, two decks, amazing views, reasonable rent). Unfortunately, we're loosing our two beloved roommates on April 1. We're in search of another single parent or family with kid(s) of similiar age (+/- 6 yrs old) to live with (I have 100% custody of my daughter). We'd consider staying in our place or moving. Please contact me directly if this may be of interest to you or anyone you know. Cheers, Ed cooney.ed@gmail.com

Darn economy! I',ve had to drop a day at work thus our childcare provider , Angelica, is looking for extra work 1 day per week. Angelica is available 1day per week (Wednesday, Thursday or Friday) and some evenings, charges $15/hr (worth every penny!), is infant CPR certified, and does light housework during nap time (not part of our contract with her but she does it anyway). If you are a stay at home parent thinking about needing a day to yourself this may be the perfect answer for you! Angelica is especially enamored , and skilled, with infants and will provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your child. Angelica speaks primarily spanish. Angelica has been with our daughter since she was 4 mos old and now, at 17 months, her vocabulary is bilingual. Needless, to say our daughter absolutely adores 'Aicha'. Angelica is known in our nanny community on Potrero Hill and can provide excellent references. Please feel free to call me (Gitane: 415-624-9727) or respond to this posting and I will provide more info and pass along Angelica's phone number. Thanks! Gitane

If more practical, I am open to spending part of the day in your home, as well. In addition, to my own child, I have extensive experience in childcare and mentoring children of all ages.

Our baby is due in February and I plan to return to work in late April/early May. We would like a full-time nanny who is available from 7am to 7pm Mon-Fri. When our child is around 8 or 9 months, we would like to consider a nanny share situation with one other child of similar age. Our goal is to find a nanny who has been working for a long time (few years) with another family and is highly referred by that family. For these families, perhaps a change in job or children starting school will result in transition with the nanny. Our primary interest at this time is to speak with families who have nannies in this situation (i.e. I love my nanny and want to find a great place for her). If you are a nanny, please have the family you work for send an email to us. Thank you!
