Hi! My name is Jupleen and I'm a recent grad from Georgetown where I studied International Affairs. I have previous experience babysitting mostly elementary school age kids and older. I have also been an overnight camp counselor for a few summers where I was in charge of kids aged 7-12. I love being active and doing creative activities with kids. I sometimes bring my Nintendo switch and kids love to play Just Dance! Depending on the age, I also love to bake with kids, and I am also open to help with tutoring, homework, or cooking. I played cello and tennis up until high school if that is of interest as well!

I'm a full-time professional and mom to a wonderful 22-year-old daughter, with years of hands-on experience supporting others—whether through parenting, helping aging relatives, or caring for pets. I'm now looking to give back to my community by offering caregiving and household help in my free time. I’m known for being reliable, warm, and thoughtful. I bring both energy and empathy to everything I do, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people of all ages. Whether it’s assisting with errands, offering companionship to seniors, or helping maintain a calm and organized home, I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also bring a set of professional skills that translate well into caregiving: I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and analytical. I listen closely, anticipate needs, and follow through with care. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, exploring the city, and finding new ways to support and connect with my community.
Hi! My name is Edith, and I’m a mom of three children (ages 6, 4, and 1). I’m offering child care, senior care, and pet care. I love working with children and have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids through raising my own children and supporting other families. My experience includes feeding, diapering, naps, school routines, homework help, and engaging kids in reading, crafts, painting, dancing, and imaginative play. I encourage and uplift kids so they feel confident in who they are and what they love. I also have experience providing companion care for seniors, including helping with daily routines, meal preparation, errands, and offering meaningful companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful, and I enjoy building genuine connections. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I’m comfortable with larger pets and those that shed.
Hi! I'm Kendall, a nursing student at San Francisco State. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support in San Francisco. I've been caring for kids for over 10 years, from newborns and infants to teenagers. My experience comes from babysitting and nannying, teaching outdoor education, substitute teaching, summer camps, rock climbing instruction, and youth leadership programs. These days, I'm also training in the hospital as part of nursing school and currently work with newborns, which has deepened my love for supporting families during those early stages of life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. You'll usually find me outside exploring parks, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, building forts, baking, climbing trees, making up games, or helping with homework. I love following children's curiosity and creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and have fun. I'm happy to help with schoolwork, transportation, meal prep, bedtime routines, and whatever helps make family life run a little smoother. Before nursing school, I worked as a violence prevention educator, substitute teacher, outdoor guide, and volunteer training coordinator. I also have extensive training in communication, crisis response, and creating safe, supportive environments. I am certified in CPR/BLS (Basic Life Support) and Wilderness First Response. I also enjoy working with older adults. I've helped care for family members with severe illness/neurocognitive deficits and have spent much of my professional life supporting people through challenging situations. I love hearing stories, building connections, helping with errands, preparing meals, providing transportation, or simply being good company. I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs and am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and overnight pet care. My start in the Bay Area was exploring via Trusted Housesitters. Around the house, I can help with cooking, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, organizing, errands, plant care, and general household tasks. I'm tidy, dependable, and the kind of person who notices what needs to get done and jumps in to help. People often describe me as warm, responsible, adventurous, patient, and easy to talk to. Whether your family needs a reliable babysitter, an extra set of hands around the house, support for an older loved one, or someone to care for your pets, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.
