~ Former AU PAIR ~ Hi families! I’m Kacper, 27, originally from Poland. I live in Noe Valley. I’m currently working on my Associate degree in Psychology before transferring to Bachelor in Cognitive Science. Experience: I’ve babysat in Poland, worked as an au pair for twin 4-year-old girls during my first year, and two boys (6 and 9 years old) on second year.

Booked by 3 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi! My name is Gina, and I’m from Colombia. I’m looking for extra babysitting opportunities. I’m a responsible, respectful, and loving person who truly enjoys helping families and caring for children. Currently, I take care of twin 2-year-olds and their siblings of 4 and 7 years old. I have experience caring for children of different ages — from infants to school-aged kids. In Colombia, I worked with two children, aged 8 and 1, which gave me valuable experience with different developmental stages. I enjoy doing activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with routines. My daily tasks include cooking for the kids, school pick-up, laundry, organizing play areas, and assisting with nap and bedtime routines. I offer child care, and pet care. I also love animals! I have pets myself and I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. I can help with walking, feeding, and playing with your pets if needed.

Booked by 6 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi! My name is Alexis, and I’m a third-year Psychology major at the University of San Francisco. I have a deep passion for working with children, which began when I was twelve years old. With over six years of experience, I’ve cared for kids ranging in age from 9 months to 13 years. I’m comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities, from engaging in creative play and helping with homework to maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified and trained in AED and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority in my care.

“Alexis was great. My two kiddos had a good time. ”

Hello! My name is Margaret! I’m new here, and excited to start my part time position becoming your house sitter, cleaner, or pet sitter. I can also pick up kids from school, do laundry or errands and things of that nature. I can provide people who can attest that I am trustworthy, kind, and that I learn very quickly! I am super diligent and hardworking and most of all, focused. Hope to talk to you soon!

“Margaret has been a fantastic helper for our family. She's always punctual and reliable. She works really hard and takes directions well. She takes on any new household task that we throw her way with enthusiasm. We are very happy to have found her and grateful for her support.”

Cody 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Emeryville, 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. ”
