Meet college nannies and sitters from San Francisco State University

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

Hi Bay Area neighbors! My name is Astrid, and I'm a responsible and energetic careworker invested in providing fun and culturally informed care. I am adaptable to your unique family needs and want to create a fun and safe environment for your family. I'm currently a master of social work student and aspiring birthworker with experience caring for children, teens, and adults in a mental health capacity. I also have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children, older adults and pets. I was raised by my grandmother who ran a small at-home daycare which sparked my passion for supporting healthy family ecosystems. Nowadays, I'm a tía to a 1-year-old baby and a cat mom to 2 rambunctious kittens. Because I am a full-time student with a day-time mental health worker job, I'm looking for one-time, occasional and part-time work. Please message me with your questions and inquiries. Let's see if we'd be a good fit!

Hi! I’m an experienced part-time babysitter with many years of working with children of all ages. I genuinely enjoy engaging kids through crafts, board games, movies, or even just a walk to the park. I believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where kids can be themselves. I’m also a huge animal lover…. I have three dogs of my own that I adore, so I’m more than happy to care for any furry family members too!

I am currently a senior at San Francisco State University, about to graduate with my bachelors degree in cj studies! I have many experience taking care of my younger siblings and baby cousins (from the ages of 9mo to 9yo). I also have experience babysitting on urbansitter from the ages of 2-9 for about 2+ years. In total i've worked with babies for 3-4 years not including watching my younger siblings. I am independent and responsible especially with kids. I love making up stories, songs, dances and other activities with the kids. I feel that I could teach children if my assistance is needed and I could even work around my schedule to work more days if needed. At the moment i am looking for part time but am open to one time gigs as well!

Hello! My name is Savannah, and I am currently an elementary school teacher. I earned my degree in Child Development with an emphasis in Elementary Education from San Francisco State University. I also have an MA in Curriculum and Instruction from SFSU. My passion for teaching began at a young age, inspired by watching my mother teach. I started working with children at 12 as a teacher’s assistant at my dance studio and became a dance teacher at 14, working with students ages 3–12 for six years. I’ve also worked in a child development center with toddlers and have many years of babysitting experience with school-age children. I am passionate about creating positive, engaging learning environments where children feel supported and inspired. Outside of teaching, I’m a big dog lover and have grown up with golden retrievers my whole life!

Hi, I’m Lisa! I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, a special education aide, and a babysitter for many families. My experience includes preparing meals, driving to appointments and extracurriculars, helping with homework, bedtime routines, and providing support with daily needs like feeding, bathing, and toileting. I value compassion, patience, and play in every interaction. I love pretend play, building, dolls, reading stories, arts and crafts, and exploring nature with kids. I’m not afraid to get silly and believe children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and joyful. I’m also experienced with pet care! I currently help care for two cats and an elderly dog by giving medication, going for walks, and providing lots of affection. I grew up with both large and small dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. Families can count on me to be dependable, nurturing, and fun while keeping your little ones safe and happy.

Hi! I’m Melissa, a reliable and caring sitter based in Pacifica. I’ve spent several years nannying and babysitting throughout college and beyond, working with children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve cared for infants as young as three weeks old (including overnight support), as well as toddlers and older kids. I really enjoy creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment whether that’s helping with routines, playtime, or simply being a steady and positive presence. I also bring a strong background in supporting families through my professional experience, which has helped me develop patience, organization, and clear communication. I understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease and informed. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, or homework support. Looking forward to connecting!

Hi there! My name is Kayley and I recently graduated from San Francisco State University with a Major in Communications and a Minor in Africana Studies. During that time I took some Child Development courses and discovered how much there is to learn from kids. I have experience working with kids at the Boys and Girls Club in San Francisco and also helping out my aunts with all my little cousins. I love to babysit not only because it is empowering, and teaches me to play and be patient, but also because I get to help children, show them safe ways to have fun and express themselves, and ultimately help create a community filled with healthy connections. Something about me is that I love to sing, read, design, dance, and act! I have a passion for film and love to entertain! I am also interested in youth organizing and social justice.

Hello! My name is Yeisy and I am a SFSU graduate, however I am currently back in school full time to pursue a dental hygiene career within a couple years! I am looking for occasional jobs, one time jobs, could be recurring as long as they fit within my school window. I have great experience with nannying throughout my college career with an infant and toddler for a couple years during school- however I have been around kids my entire life so this isn't my first rodeo (bunch of cousins!) I love kids and enjoy creating bonds that are integral part of their young life growing up. My responsibilities have included picking up/dropping off to daycare/school, grocery shopping, errands, outings to parks, cooking simple dinners for kids, putting to bed, and tightening up some things at home. I am open to any and all ages for kids! As for pets, I love all of them! I've grown up with dogs all my life. Cats not so much, but always happy to assist.
