Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bella and I am a first grade teacher in Pacific Heights. I offer babysitting, tutoring, and pet sitting. I love working with and caring for children of all ages! I started babysitting and nannying in 2015 and have lots of experience with infants, toddlers, and young children. My responsibilities while babysitting have included driving children to and from school and activities, preparing easy meals, helping children with homework and reading, tidying up, and planning fun activities. I am CPR and epinephrine-injection certified, and hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and special education. I also earned dual-teaching licenses from Regis University in Denver, CO. I have done both full-time and part-time nannying, and I’m currently available anytime after 4 pm Monday-Friday and all day/night on weekends. I am looking for something part-time (1-3 shifts per week). Unfortunately, I do not have a car, and would prefer to not have to drive. Please let me know if you’re interested if you have any questions about me! Thanks so much! 😊

Perla $25 per hour for 1 child

hey! my name is Perla and i’m currently finishing my year as an au pair. I’m offering child care and household services. I’ve been babysitting for multiple years now. I’ve been a pool supervisor in a summer camp for one season when I was 18. I took care of different kids before coming to the US to be an au pair. And also a have a younger sister. My responsabilities with my current host family are helping helping with the morning routine, lunch prep and getting them ready for school. After school i prepare them dinner, play any boardgames, watch a movie, or anything that comes at the moment. it really depends on the day and the kids mood. I don’t have a drivers license, i mostly manage via public transport or uber. I feel comfortable working with animals. We have two cats here where i live and i have one cat on my own back at home, so i love animals a lot🫶🏻

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

I’ve always enjoyed taking care of kids. My brother is nine years younger than me, so I grew up co-raising him. From feeding to changing diapers, to putting little folks to sleep - the foundational experience is there. I also had pets growing up so I took on a that responsibility as well. As time has gone on, people friends and family have asked me to babysit. I’d describe myself as fun and energetic, and I love helping kids have a great time while also learning and growing.
