$22 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Tess and I'm currently studying for my BSc at the University of British Columbia. I'm originally from San Francisco and I will be here for the summer. I have babysat for a number of families throughout the city ranging from ages 3-7 and siblings too! I also have experience with pets and basic house cleaning. Professionally I have worked as a camp counselor and workshop facilitator for older kids 8-12 so I love working with all ages. I'm looking more for occasional jobs but I'm also very flexible so I can work with last-minute scheduling and I don't mind when the night runs later than expected! I look forward to getting to know your family!
“Tesla is a fantastic, reliable sitter whom we've hired several times over the past couple years, and we hope to continue working with her. She has a calm, gentle demeanor, and has an authentic connection with my 4-year-old, who always looks forward to their time together. Tesla has a unique ability to connect with children in a way that feels very genuine. She is mature, smart, and has excellent communication. Highly recommended for any family looking for a trustworthy and engaging caregiver!”

Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’d love to connect! I just started using this app, so my reviews are still building, but I’ve been caring for children since around 2020.

I genuinely enjoy helping families run their homes smoothly and efficiently. I bring professionalism, kindness, and care to everything I do, and I believe in creating calm, supportive systems that make family life a little easier.

Ryann $26 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Ryann (they/them) and I recently graduated from SFSU with a Bachelors Degree in Women and Gender Studies with a minor in LGBTQ+ studies. I'm going back to school in the fall to start my Masters Program in Sexuality Studies. I am flexible, social, playful, a strong communicator, and I love working with kids, animals, and elderly folks. Throughout my life, I have babysat for many families with children of various ages, typically multiple children at the same time. My responsibilities included cooking and prepping food, helping with homework, cleaning, arts and crafts, and transportation to and from school. I frequently care for my friends' and neighbors' pets; dog walking, feeding the animals, refilling water bowls, overnight cat sitting, and offering various forms of enrichment. I am passionate about animals and providing the best quality of life for them. I have been volunteering at Openhouse, the LGBTQ+ senior center, since October every week and it has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills around senior care. I have assisted disabled folks with everyday tasks, ranging from going to the grocery store to the emergency vet. I am patient, able bodied, accommodating, and quick to help out.
