San Francisco

San Francisco families balance tech schedules, startup hours, hospital shifts, and long commutes across the Bay Area. In neighborhoods from Chinatown and North Beach to the Sunset and Richmond Districts, parents are looking for more than just “any nanny near me” — they need a trusted, culturally aligned Asian nanny service that understands their lifestyle and values.

My Asian Nanny specializes in Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking nannies, newborn nannies, night nannies, and Chinese postpartum care for families throughout San Francisco. Instead of scrolling through unverified profiles, you work with a dedicated nanny placement agency that carefully screens, interviews, and matches each caregiver to your home.

Asian nanny caring for children in a San Francisco home
  • Unpredictable work hours – Tech, healthcare, and finance roles often mean late meetings, on-call shifts, and cross-time-zone calls. A live-in nanny or consistent live-out nanny keeps the home routine stable.
  • Small-space city living – Many families live in condos or multi-unit buildings. We help you find a nanny who is comfortable with compact urban living and shared spaces.
  • Bilingual & bicultural goals – Parents want children to speak Mandarin or Cantonese at home while thriving in English-speaking schools.
  • Limited extended family nearby – In a city of transplants, many new parents don’t have grandparents close by. A postpartum nanny can provide the hands-on help family might otherwise offer.

Our mission is to remove the stress from the “search for nanny” process so you can focus on your baby, your work, and your recovery.

We offer a full range of Asian nanny services for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children:

  • Live-In & Live-Out Nannies – Full-time or part-time in-home nanny services that adapt to your work hours, commute, and childcare needs.
  • Newborn & Infant Nannies – Gentle newborn care at home, including feeding, burping, diapering, and establishing healthy, realistic routines.
  • Night Nannies & Night Nurses – Overnight newborn care so parents can sleep, especially helpful after C-section or when returning to work quickly.
  • Mandarin & Cantonese Nannies – Bilingual “nanny Chinese” support with songs, stories, and conversation in your preferred dialect.
  • Household & Homework Help – Light meal prep, children’s laundry, basic tidying, and age-appropriate homework support for older siblings.

Cost Insight: Because San Francisco is a high-cost city, nanny rates are often above the national average. Your final rate depends on experience, schedule, number of children, and whether the role includes newborn care or night shifts. During your consultation, we discuss your needs and share a realistic local range before you decide to hire a nanny.

Chinese postpartum nanny caring for newborn and mother in San Francisco

Many San Francisco families want to blend modern medicine with Chinese postpartum care after delivery. A confinement nanny (yue sao) or postpartum nanny can support you through the first month or longer, whether you live in a condo in SoMa or a single-family home in the Richmond.

  • Newborn care & soothing – Diapering, feeding, burping, swaddling, and safe sleep routines.
  • Support for postpartum recovery – Encouraging rest, warmth, and gentle routines aligned with postpartum recovery care principles.
  • Simple Chinese postpartum meals (if requested) – Warming soups and dishes that follow traditional Chinese postpartum care ideas, adjusted to your comfort and dietary needs.
  • Light household help – Baby laundry, bottle prep, and nursery organization so you can stay in bed longer.

When to Book: To ensure you find the best postpartum nanny for your needs, we recommend starting your search during your second trimester (around 14–16 weeks). San Francisco is a competitive market, and early booking improves your chances of securing an experienced confinement nanny or night nanny.

Asian night nanny providing overnight newborn care in San Francisco

In a city that rarely slows down, sleep is a precious resource. A night nanny or night nurse can help you function at work and at home by covering the hardest hours of the night.

  • Complete overnight coverage – Feedings, diaper changes, soothing, and monitoring so parents can rest.
  • Gentle sleep shaping – Helping your baby ease into longer stretches of sleep over time.
  • Notes for daytime parents – Many night nannies maintain logs of feeds, diapers, and sleep for your reference.

Cost Insight: Overnight newborn care is typically priced higher than daytime care due to specialized skills and night hours. During the intake process we’ll review your target schedule and share current ranges for San Francisco families.

We provide local nanny services across the city and nearby Bay Area communities, including:

  • Chinatown & North Beach – Historic, walkable neighborhoods with strong Chinese roots.
  • Sunset & Richmond Districts – Family-friendly areas with parks, playgrounds, and excellent schools.
  • SoMa & Mission Bay – Condos and high-rises close to tech campuses, hospitals, and downtown offices.
  • Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, and Glen Park – Popular residential pockets for young families.

“We both work in tech and needed someone who understood our irregular hours. My Asian Nanny found us a Mandarin-speaking live-in nanny who keeps our baby on a routine and helps with dinner on busy days. It’s been life-changing.” – L. & M., SoMa

“Our postpartum nanny knew traditional Chinese postpartum practices but never pressured me. She adapted to what I was comfortable with and handled all nighttime feedings so I could heal.” – A.W., Inner Sunset

How much does a nanny cost in San Francisco?

San Francisco sits at the high end of nanny compensation because of local housing and cost of living. Your final rate depends on whether you need a live-in nanny, live-out nanny, infant nanny, or night nanny, and what duties are included. We’ll walk through your needs and share a realistic range before you interview any nanny candidates.

When should I book a postpartum nanny or night nanny?

For postpartum nanny services, we recommend starting your search in your second trimester (around 14–16 weeks). Night nanny bookings should ideally be made a few weeks before your due date or scheduled induction. San Francisco families who book early generally have more options and smoother start dates.

Can I request a Mandarin or Cantonese-speaking nanny?

Yes. Many of our San Francisco families specifically request a Mandarin nanny or Cantonese-speaking nanny. As an Asian-focused nanny placement agency, we prioritize language preferences and match you with caregivers experienced in Chinese households and cultural expectations.

What’s the difference between a postpartum nanny and a night nanny?

A postpartum nanny supports both mom and baby around the clock, often including light cooking and basic postpartum recovery support, especially in the early weeks. A night nanny focuses primarily on overnight newborn care and sleep, coming only during night shifts to help you rest.

How do I get started if I want to find a nanny in San Francisco?

The first step is to complete our Family Registration Form. We’ll review your details, schedule a quick consultation, and then send you carefully screened nanny for hire profiles that match your schedule, language preferences, and childcare goals.
