Booked by 4 families in Daly City, CA

Hi! I’m Alyssa, a 20-year-old college student currently studying Psychology. I’ve babysat for family and friends before, and I work at a daycare school for kids ranging from infants to elementary grades. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and able to connect with kids pretty easily. I also have experience with tutoring and enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to help with homework and meal prep when needed. I have a very flexible schedule for the summer and would love to help out! Looking forward to connecting!

Alyssa was energetic, attentive and engaging. My daughter had an amazing time with her!

Hi! I’m Alyssa, a reliable and caring childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’m currently a lead preschool teacher, where I work closely with children ages 2–5, helping support their development through play, structure, and creativity. In addition to my professional experience, I regularly care for my younger autistic brother, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, and understanding diverse needs. I am transitioning from preschool to 1 on 1 care because i believe the connection you make with a child is so important in helping them grow! I will be going to Sf state this fall for speech pathology and am looking for part time work to help me focus on school. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment—whether that’s doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or keeping a consistent routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Booked by 5 families in Daly City, CA

My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.

Our daughter had a great time with Zazie!

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi families! My name is Thayane and I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids — including children with special needs such as autism and PDA. I’ve worked with several wonderful families, supporting children’s emotional and physical development with patience, kindness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve become confident in handling all aspects of child care: feeding, naps, diapering, soothing, playtime, bedtime routines, and helping children feel safe and loved. I also have extensive experience driving children to school, parks, playdates, and enrichment classes — always prioritizing safety and fun. I’m happy to assist with child-related chores, meal prep, and I’m also very comfortable with date nights and occasional evening care. I’m flexible, reliable, and families often describe me as calm, warm, respectful, and attentive to each child’s unique needs and personality. My experience working with children with special needs has made me especially patient and intuitive. I’m always focused on creating a nurturing, structured, and joyful environment where children can thrive. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

I highly recommend Thayane! She has been caring for our now 10-month-old son for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier. Thayane is incredibly loving and fully engaged with him throughout the day. She creates age-appropriate activities and playtime, while also managing his meals and nap times with ease. Her dependability, kindness and attentiveness have made her a wonderful addition to our family, and we feel so lucky to have her in our care team!

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hello! My name is Ingrid, and I am currently a Medical Assistant as well as a student. I am offering part-time childcare services for infants and toddlers. I bring several years of hands-on experience caring for both children and seniors. Through my past work with IHSS & babysitting. I have provided compassionate support to elderly clients, and I have also spent years caring for children, including my nieces and nephews, whom I absolutely adore. These experiences have helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for helping others. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, light meal preparation, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive space for every child in my care. Please note that I am allergic to cats; however, I am more than happy to work with families who have dogs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring childcare.

Ingrid was great with our 16 month old. She was patient and observant with him, and he took to her right away. She always asked questions and made sure we were comfortable with what she was doing, and was a good communicator throughout. Despite working with us for the first time, her time with us went by really smoothly and she was very adaptable.
