Meet college nannies and sitters from Academy of Art University

I graduated with a degree in design, which has fueled my creativity and nurtured my ability to engage children in imaginative and enriching activities. With over five years of babysitting experience and a close-knit family dynamic, including caring for my three energetic nephews, I've honed my skills in fostering a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids. On a personal note, I'm an avid reader and nature enthusiast, and I love sharing my passions with curious young minds.

Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a full-time healthcare professional working in San Francisco. I offer evening and weekend babysitting for families who need reliable care for date nights or occasional help. I have several years of babysitting experience and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with dinner, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment while parents are away. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I always strive to make evenings smooth and stress-free for everyone. I’m based in Mission Bay and happy to help families in nearby neighborhoods such as Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, SoMa, and surrounding areas. I’m also comfortable with pets and light tidying after activities. Looking forward to helping families enjoy a worry-free night out!

Hi I’m Lisa! I haven’t had a lot of child care experience, but I am responsible, nurturing, and intuitive with kids. I’m a crafty person and would love to engage kids with art and crafts if it permits! I also love animals. I enjoy hikes so I can easily take care of dogs. I have two cats of my own so I am also great with cats. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, and other household tasks are not a problem. Please feel free to ask me any questions.

Hi, I'm Kristin, and I have been working with children since early 2020. I am a teacher that loves working with kids, and strives to encourage them to be happy and healthy. I work hard to promote kindness, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. I am patient, warm, and engaging. I am also an academic wizard with an invested interest in any child's academic success. When I am with your child, I bring activities that take them away from screens. Save for dance parties; everyone should get a dance break at least once a day!

I've always had a passion for helping children develop and grow. With over 25 years of experience, I have the skills and knowledge to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child from new born, toddler and preschoolers. I'm extremely patient, and friendly. I know how to communicate effectively with parents about their child's day. I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules and am comfortable caring for one child or two children at a time. I'm a big kid at heart. I'm not afraid being silly with kids. I enjoy playing all sorts of games with children, both indoors and outdoors. Also love to have my own story time, music dancing and art class with a little one !!! In addition to my Early Childhood Development coursework, I have First Aid and CPR training, and am TrustLine certified. I also speak Chinese and English. As a caregiver, I'm committed to fostering a positive and enriching experience for both children and their families.

I have a experience caring for children, assisting with household tasks, and looking after pets. As the eldest sibling, I played a key role in raising and mentoring my younger siblings. I am patient, responsible, and attentive, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I also love caring for dogs and cats, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities and can help with homework, meal prep, pet care, and light cleaning. My goal is to provide reliable and compassionate care, making families feel at ease.

I have been a babysitter for children both inside my family, and outside of my family since I was 12 y/o and have cared for senior family members in the past as well. I have cared for children from Newborns to 12 years old, and every age in between. I raised 3 children ( 6 months, 2 years, 3 years) for 2.5 years while their parents were unable to. I have cared for children with special needs as well. I have cared for children with Autism, ADHD, developmental issues, as well as cerebral palsy. I have cared for quiet children, and rambunctious children, and everywhere in between. I love doing arts and crafts and playing sports and dancing and singing with the kids I have cared for. I have helped senior family members with all sorts of tasks and with keeping them company, cooking and cleaning for them. I never get tired of stories (even if repeated). As for Pets, I have cared for various breeds of dogs, and have owned dogs myself in the past. I have 3 cats right now, and my friends call me the cat whisperer. I love birds, reptiles, bunnies/rabbits, and all animals, and have no problem doing the "cringey" tasks to care for them as well. I love animals, and caring for them. Housekeeping and other services, I am well versed in, I was a professionally trained housekeeper before moving here to California. And, I was the housekeeper at an airbnb here in town for 2 months before moving to my current residence. Whatever the task, whatever needs to be done, I can and will help the best I can. :)

Hi, my name is Mahtash I am graduated from art university and i love to be a baby sitter and have been watching newborn,infants and toddlers since I was 35 years old. My responsibilities have been making snacks and light meals. I am patient, energetic and playful when it comes to children.

For eight years, I have had the privilege of assisting families as a nanny for children from infancy through adolescence. I was previously with a family of 6 children, all under age 6, which included a set of twins on the autism spectrum. Every day was an adventure but it was the most rewarding experience so this just might be my calling. I am patient, creative, and innovative. I am just as comfortable with newborns as I am with teenagers. For newborns and infants, I am very experienced with implementing a sleeping and eating schedule, introducing solids, toilet training, and meeting milestones. For children, I enjoy introducing them to new sports and engaging activities such as baking and arts and crafts. I am able to assist with homework and tutoring using various methods, whether it be visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. I am a firm believer in positive communication and believe it is important to teach children how to communicate their emotions. I use emotion cards or simply have a conversation and after a rough day I most commonly introduce art or sound therapy. I am experienced caring for more than one child at a time and of all abilities. I am happy to help prepare snacks and cook meals, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I am First Aid, CPR, and AED trained. I believe in open communication and will always keep you informed about your child’s day, using your preferred method. Ultimately, I hope to create a fun and safe environment for children to thrive as well as being a great support system to parents.
