Michael $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Michael! I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who spends a lot of time working with kids, loves animals, and lives in the Outer Sunset! As a therapist, I work with kids of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism and ADHD. I am currently looking to make some extra money while I pursue licensure as a therapist and would love to support my community by helping them care for the kids and pets they love! In my free time, I love to read, go on runs, play video games, and spend time with my girlfriend and our dog, Betty. I like to have fun and keep things light. I would be happy to help you with babysitting, pet-sitting, dog-walking, house-cleaning, whatever!

Lawson 3 reviews
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Colma, CA

Hi! My name is Lawson and I am a senior at the Urban School of San Francisco. I am the oldest of three kids, including a brother 10 years younger than me whom I regularly take care of, so I have been around kids my whole life. I have also babysat and worked as a camp counselor plenty of times throughout my life. I am no stranger to driving, entertaining, coaching, and putting kids to bed. I am a very active person and am more than willing to play sports and spend energy with kids. I can also help with homework and tutoring, especially in math and science. I can cook and clean as well as drive to run errands or to take kids to and from their activities. I love cats and dogs and have a cat of my own. I can feed, walk and play with pets, though I am slightly allergic and less comfortable with pets that shed a lot.

“Kind, on time, and easy to communicate with. Our child felt comfortable, and we’d happily book again.”

Sarah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework. Some of my strengths are patience, creativity, and good organization skills. I am also fluent in both English and Thai. I am looking for a part time position, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!

Nadia $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Nadia! I’m a babysitter with experience caring for children ages 2-12. I believe in the importance of listening and talking to children, without talking “down” to them. My warm and communicative approach creates positive experiences for the kids and cooperative care-taking relationships. That’s why when I worked at a summer day-camp for 4-11yo children learning English in my hometown, there was popular demand from children and their parents for me to be on-site every day. I helped ease children’s separation anxiety and made them feel comfortable and confident in an unfamiliar environment. Originally scheduled to work just 4 days over the summer, I ended up as a full-time aide. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are baking and reading stories. I also have a good track record of getting children involved in simple, age-appropriate chores (e.g., making the bed) in a way that feels fun. I can provide references, including from parents who can attest to my ability to care for multiple kids at once. I also have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, and would be happy to provide homework help: - I have experience tutoring pre-k, elementary school, and high school students in reading, math, and test prep. - I have two years of experience as an instructor at UC Berkeley, and another three years of experience mentoring college students. - I speak English, French, Arabic, and a bit of Spanish. I love to encourage children’s multilingualism and can help with foreign language homework. I’m confident with preparing meals and snacks. I previously was a head chef at a student co-op, where my dinners got rave reviews. I still get recipe requests from former co-opers (especially my hummus recipe!). I’m happy to bring these skills to your children’s snack time. I try to incorporate learning experiences into my caregiving, and I especially enjoy working with families who value curiosity and learning. I was a National Merit Scholar in undergrad, and I recently graduated with my PhD in a social science discipline from UC Berkeley. I have a full time job scheduled to start in 2027. Until then, you can hire a (non-medical) doctor for a discount.
