Hello ! My name is Ariana. I recently graduated from SFSU with a bachelors in nursing and currently working on my Masters. I’m offering child care and senior care. I have volunteered at Think Together after school program for about five years assisting and tutoring students. I helped raise and watch my three siblings and many cousins when I was ten. Ever since I just love taking care of children. I have so much patience and passion for the little ones and teens! I love creating activities or arts and crafts, reading, making towers with legos, and dancing. * I did take a long break from babysitting due to the outbreak. Then once I decided to resume I focused on my school and joined a beautiful nanny share.
“Ariana is great and our daughter loves playing with her. She's always super friendly, energetic and very professional.”
I’m Gabi and am currently an Associate Teacher for a 2nd grade class. Previously, I worked younger grades as well. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Additionally, I have experience babysitting kids as young as infants and toddlers to older children. I would love to connect with families. I understand that trust is a major factor and key role so I take my position very seriously. I love having silly and goofy moments with kids playing but also love to instill in them responsibility and good decision making. I would love to connect with you and can provide a reference if needed. I have always had a love for helping children from a young age. As a teacher, I have loved getting to know my students and creating bonds with them. I'm looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bright energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.

Hello families! My name is Galen and I’m looking forward to supporting your family’s child and other care needs. I’m a therapist by training and by day with a masters degree in social work, but I’m looking to build community and supplement my income by caring for children on nights and weekends. I have 15+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages as well as tutoring, pet care, cooking, and light housework. I took a few years away from this app to focus on grad school, but I’m excited to get back to childcare. I maintain CPR certification through work and am up-to-date on all vaccines. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Galen was fantastic. Not only was she kind and engaging with our 2yo but she was also very proactive in helping to tidy up toys and helping me out with my todo list in the kitchen while my daughter was napping. She was delightful and we’ll be having her back!”
