I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Please note- I have a 4 hour job minimum! My name is Gabrielle, and I am interested in babysitting for your family. I have over 14 years of experience taking care of newborns, infants, toddlers, elementary school aged children, middle school aged children, preteens, and teenagers. I have provided childcare to over 300 families. I am a reliable, fun, patient, friendly, responsible, and caring babysitter. I have lots of experience babysitting multiple children at a time (up to 5 kids). I have experience feeding newborns, changing diapers, giving and making bottles, cooking meals, getting children ready for bed and putting them in bed, creating exciting games, driving children, and much more. I have great references available upon request. I am CPR and first aid certified for babies through adults by the American Heart Association. I have experience being a summer camp counselor during the summer of 2014, in which I led several games and age appropriate activities for campers. I am a huge fan of the outdoors and do think the outdoors is a great place for discovery and learning, as I enjoy taking kids to playgrounds, museums, libraries, etc in the Bay Area. I am also a fan of music, acting, and arts and crafts. I know of several simple and appropriate art projects for children of all ages and abilities. I do not mind doing light chores such as dishes and laundry. I own a car, and I transport myself to and from jobs. I am able to drive children to and from activities. I have a clean driving record and am fully insured. A little bit about me... I am a San Francisco native. I am a graduate of the University of Nevada and currently working in finance. I hope to fulfill my lifelong dream of working with children for many more years to come. I enjoy watching children grow and mature, as well as creating awesome relationships with families. I have enjoyed babysitting over the years and truly enjoy the opportunity to make a positive impact on a child's life. Thank you so much, and I hope to babysit for your family!

Vaccinated & boosted! Experienced, professional, silly, loving! Most recent background check June 2026 Red Cross Infant/Child/IAdult CPR & First Aid Certification 6/2025 Parents have called me "baby whisperer" and "Maya Poppins"; a three-year-old called me "booty butt"! I can handle anything! It is my great pride to share my resourcefulness and experience; I ask for help and clarification gladly.  I've worked with children from ages 2w to 18y through the site and also seniors. From KG teacher and early childhood curriculum developer, teacher trainer and university lecturer, I've worked extensively in education. After most of a decade abroad and a wild pandemic, I just finished my doctorate in education (March 2023!). I love working with children and appreciate having a flexible schedule. With little ones, I'm silly and creative (and love to share my published children's book!). I understand tears and have the patience to soothe and work with the frustration, exhaustion, or confusion behind them. For parents, I'm super tidy, reliable, a great communicator, and have a CA driver's license! I have lived and worked all over the world and have a social justice mindset that informs my life and work. Also available for high-end tutoring, development evaluations (ages 2-6), middle/upper grade social services, and personal assistant services at other rates. 

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I'm 43years old. I live in San Francisco, Ca. I have been taking care of children, with and without special needs, for over ten years now. I have over 32 units completed in child development, and work as a head teacher for Tinycare at Mission Bay Infants. I have extensive special needs experience! I have current Covid and boosters, CPR, First Aid, TB, DPT and Flu vaccine. I am experienced in food allergies and organic diets. I also know basic sign language, and have worked with families who use the sleep training method. I pride myself in providing engaging and stimulating activities instead of having children sit in front of a tv all day. I have worked as a live-in, live-out and on-call nanny. Some of my favorite activities to do with young children are singing, fingerplays, lots of reading (I love to read!), going on outings to parks, musuems, etc. For older children I love to incorporate activities that have an educational value too, like learning about history, science, etc in a fun and exciting way. I also do lots of art projects and music. I have quite a collection now, both from working in a school, different families and materials I have purchased. Children who I meet are always super excited to go through my "nanny bag" which I prepare for each family depending on the age of the children. Some of my interests are reading, writing, swimming, bike riding, going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I have excellent references and a resume available.

Hi! My name is Laisa. I’m a 35-year-old career nanny from Brazil with 20+ years of childcare experience, including more than 10 years specializing in infants and toddlers—an age group I truly love and where my passion for childcare lies. My caregiving style is loving, respectful, gentle, and responsive. I believe every child is unique, so I take the time to understand their individual needs, personality, and routines while following and respecting each family’s parenting style, values, and boundaries. I’m also flexible and adaptable, understanding that schedules and needs can change from day to day. I love supporting children’s development through meaningful interaction and age-appropriate activities, including talking, reading, singing, sensory play, and opportunities to build their language, motor skills, confidence, curiosity, and independence. I enjoy getting outside with children whenever possible, as well as creating engaging activities at home. I’m energetic, attentive, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to explore and learn. Clear and open communication is very important to me. I want parents to feel informed and connected throughout the day, so I’m happy to share photos, videos, and a daily update covering their child’s activities, meals, naps, mood, and milestones. Most importantly, I see childcare as more than simply supervising a child. I strive to become a trusted partner to the family and to build a strong, respectful, and long-term relationship while providing the highest level of care. I take my commitments seriously and do not cancel unless there is an emergency. I also require agreed-upon hours to be guaranteed, with NO BANKING OF HOURS! References: To respect my previous families’ privacy, I provide letters of recommendation upon request. Reference phone numbers are shared only after an in-person meeting or trial day, once we both feel it’s a good fit and would like to move forward. If my experience and style of caregiving align with your family’s values, I’d love to connect! Extras to consider: • $40/hour net minimum — W-2 or cash • Guaranteed weekly hours • PTO & paid sick days • Federal holidays • Monthly health stipend • Overtime at 1.5× after 8 hours/day, per California law Best, Laisa
