Joanne — Experienced Infant & Toddler Caregiver | CPR/First Aid Certified | Trustline Registered About Me Hello! My name is Joanne, and I specialize in caring for infants and toddlers in their most important early years. Families describe me as nurturing, dependable, and deeply committed to helping little ones grow and thrive. I’ve cared for children from newborn through preschool age, supporting parents through transitions like returning to work, introducing solids, and establishing healthy sleep routines. Experience & Approach I’ve worked with San Francisco families in a variety of roles — part-time, as-needed, combined with light housework and cooking. My approach is gentle and consistent: I create a calm, loving environment where babies feel secure and parents feel at ease. I’m known for my punctuality, empathy, and communication; I keep detailed notes and send updates or photos so parents always feel connected. What I Offer -Specialized infant and toddler care (newborn to preschool age) -Feeding, bottle prep, and transition to solids -Nap and bedtime routines / safe sleep practices -Engaging play, walks, and baby or toddler classes Certifications & Safety -American Red Cross Pediatric CPR/First Aid/AED Certified -TrustLine Registered (CA State Background Check) -Trained in Safe Sleep and SIDS Awareness Why Families Love Working With Me I’ve been called a “third parent” and “trusted auntie” because I bring both professional care and heartfelt warmth to every home. I believe every child deserves not just supervision but genuine connection, encouragement, and joy.

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi, I'm Meghan! I'm 27 years old and currently working in ecommerce Merchandising in San Francisco. I have extensive experience with children of all ages, as young as 6 months to 16 years of age. I babysat regularly in high school, and in addition, I worked in the childcare facility at my workplace. I also have long term nanny experience for multiple child families in Seattle as a college student. I love spending time with kids outside, playing sports and am very active, cooking/baking, reading, coloring, trying science experiments, caring for pets, and using our imagination. I’d love to help care for anything you may need!

Meghan was wonderful! Adaptable, hard working, willing to dive right in and super engaged with my children. Full of love, patience and diligence

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

I’m the middle child of six, so moderating sibling conflict is something I’m extensively familiar with. This also means I have a ton of nieces and nephews, so I’ve had experience with children from infants up to high school. Arts and crafts are my jam! Anything artsy is right up my alley. I’m also reasonably good at most ball sports (don’t ask me to surf though; it’s not pretty) and like the outdoors. I’m a hands-on learner, so I try to impart any academic lessons in a fun, participation-oriented way to keep kiddos engaged. I’m also an experienced housekeeper, cook, and pet sitter (I’m a current cat servant -iykyk- and grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, sheep, lizards, and horses).

Cody was great. The kids had lots of fun with her.

Felicity $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Felicity, and I am an 18-year-old college student majoring in Jazz Studies at SJSU. I offer child care, pet care, and household assistance services. I love working with children and have been babysitting kids ages 1–6 for the past six years . I have gained valuable experience caring for my many nieces, nephews, and family friends’ children of various ages. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals and snacks, helping with routines, keeping children entertained, and ensuring a safe and positive environment. As a musician, I enjoy sharing music with others and can even bring my electronic vibraphone to introduce children to music through fun activities, simple lessons, and creative play! I am also a vocalist and can sing lullabies, kids’ songs, and other simple songs for children! In addition to childcare, I am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I can also assist with light housekeeping, organizing, meal preparation, and other household tasks as needed. My community describes me as responsible, patient, trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and positive. My goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for children and pets.
