Melina 1 review
San Francisco
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melina. I was born and raised in San Francisco and have been working with children in various roles for over 10 years. I currently work in a local school district as a behavioral therapist, supporting children with developmental and emotional needs—experience that has helped me develop deep patience, creativity, and an understanding of how to connect with kids at all levels. Childcare has always been a part of my life. My family has run three successful private daycares in San Francisco, and since I was 15, I’ve helped care for families needing an extra hand during evenings, weekends, or special events. I'm also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust with your child. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every home, and I’m also happy to help with things like tidying up, organizing, or running errands to help keep the household running smoothly. Right now, I’m attending City College of San Francisco, studying to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. My background gives me extra tools to support children’s emotional and developmental needs in everyday moments. If you're looking for a caring, dependable sitter with both experience and heart—I’d love to connect with your family!

I can't recommend Milena enough. She worked with my autistic son as his RBT for a year and also babysat for us until she moved out of state. Milena was the only one that could connect with him at his therapy center. My son trusted her from the first day they met and she cared and loved him like her own child. She handles unexpected situations calmly and efficiently, ensuring the child’s safety and comfort. Milena is incredibly dependable; she was always punctual, patient, kind, and excellent at creating a positive fun atmosphere. She was such a great asset to our family and I haven’t found anyone I can trust like her since she moved away from Florida. She provided not only exceptional care for our son but also became a cherished part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have her!!! Karla Serrano Cape Coral Florida

Hi! I’m Sophia, a behavioral aide at a therapeutic day school who is passionate about supporting children’s growth, learning, and well-being. I’ve been babysitting and tutoring since I was 14 years old and have experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a family assistant, helping with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, running errands, and caring for pets. I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands and helping families keep their busy lives running smoothly. In my current full-time role, I work with elementary and middle school students who have a variety of learning disabilities and mental health challenges. This experience has made me especially comfortable working with neurodivergent children and supporting kids in educational settings. My strengths include creating consistent routines, planning fun and engaging activities, helping with homework and academics, and building positive, supportive relationships with children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children!
