I am a mother of two amazing girls. When they were toddlers I had them in a co op preschool where the parents worked a few days a week. I really enjoyed it and my girls did as well. That was definitely my calling for working with children. I am comfortable with multiple children at one time. I love babies, toddlers and kids of all ages. Some of my favorite activities are reading books, playing games and exploring the outdoors.

“Lillian was lovely ! Our little boy loved her ! She was on time and very communicative we can’t wait to have her babysit again ! ”

Hi! I’m a 29-year-old recent medical school graduate with a deep love for caring for others, especially kids. I graduated from the University of San Francisco and have spent time working at UCSF in cancer research, as well as building a nonprofit organization that I’m incredibly passionate about. I’ve had several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, including those with medical complexities. I’ve supervised up to 15 kids at a time while directing a summer science camp, provided consistent after-school care, and worked closely with families over multiple years. I also spent three years working at a tutoring center, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework and learning activities. I truly enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for kids, whether that’s baking together, doing arts and crafts, playing sports, exploring parks, or organizing little “adventures” around the city like trips to museums, hikes, or the beach. I’ve also supported families during overnights, vacations, and special events like birthdays and weddings. I’m known for being extremely patient, dependable, and a strong communicator with parents. Most importantly, I genuinely love building meaningful connections with the children I care for and always put my whole heart into the families I work with. I’d love to connect and support your family however I can! :)

Hi there! 👋 I’m Pearl and if you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves being around kids, you’ve found her. I’ve spent over 20 years working with children in nearly every setting imaginable: summer camps, preschools, two years living with a family as an au pair, and ongoing nanny work. What started as a passion became a calling. Every single stage shaped how I show up for the children in my care, present, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic. What families tell me sets me apart: • I come prepared. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before naptime, I’m calm, creative, and never at a loss. • I use positive discipline, no yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I treat your home like my own and your routines like law. Your rules are my rules, full stop. • Kids tend to open up to me fast. I think it’s because I take them seriously. I’m currently available for occasional bookings, perfect if you need reliable backup coverage, a regular date night sitter, or someone to step in when life gets busy. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Send me a message, I always respond quickly! Pearl

“She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!”

Hi, I’m Samara! I’m an experienced and caring nanny with a true passion for childcare. I volunteered for 8 years in a daycare in Brazil, caring for kids from 6 months to 7 years old, and I’ve been babysitting in the U.S. since 2016, including 2 years as an au pair. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. I love helping children learn, develop, and have fun! I look forward to meeting you and your family! Sincerely, Samara

“Samara was on time and adapted well to the two new kids she was looking after like a professional. You could immediately tell she was experienced and comfortable taking are of the young ones and keeping them engaged and learning. Highly recommend!”

Hi! I’m Yuri, a recent graduate from San Francisco State University with a Master’s degree in Cell Biology. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially for date nights and weekend help! I’ve been babysitting professionally for about 12 years and also grew up helping care for my 6 younger siblings. As a San Francisco native, I love building strong connections with local families and creating fun, enriching experiences for kids. I especially enjoy nurturing children’s creativity and curiosity through arts and crafts, reading in silly voices, building forts, digging for “gems” in edible sand (blended cereal!), Legos, nature walks, museums, and play groups. I have a Montessori-inspired, gentle parenting approach and love encouraging children’s independence, imagination, and confidence in a warm and supportive environment. Working with children genuinely brings me so much joy, and I hope to continue babysitting while I work toward finding a permanent full-time position in research. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!
