Hello, I'm Grace! I am currently working toward becoming a social studies teacher and am attending SF State's credential and masters program. I have ten years of experience in childcare and nannying, ranging from newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids to preteens. I started babysitting in high school, have held summer nannying positions for multiple children, served and trained as a summer camp counselor, and also worked part time as a preschool teacher for a few years. I have held certifications in First Aid and CPR for several years as well! Some of my past childcare work has included: creating engaging and activity-filled themed weeks to help pass the summer days, assisting with morning routines/school drop-offs as well as afterschool care, completing overnight stays, and managing multiple siblings whose ages ranged from toddler to preteen. I am also happy to assist with household needs, petsitting (for dogs, cats, and any other beloved mammal/reptilian/bird/amphibian/fish family members), cooking, and more.
Hi! My name is Edith, and I’m a mom of three children (ages 6, 4, and 1). I’m offering child care, senior care, and pet care. I love working with children and have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids through raising my own children and supporting other families. My experience includes feeding, diapering, naps, school routines, homework help, and engaging kids in reading, crafts, painting, dancing, and imaginative play. I encourage and uplift kids so they feel confident in who they are and what they love. I also have experience providing companion care for seniors, including helping with daily routines, meal preparation, errands, and offering meaningful companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful, and I enjoy building genuine connections. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I’m comfortable with larger pets and those that shed.
Hi, my name is Tammy! I'm a recent college grad from USC who just finished serving as an AmeriCorps and am currently applying to medical school. I'm looking to pick up some work while figuring out my next steps. I am great with people of all ages and backgrounds (my AmeriCorps role involved clinical care for adults and seniors, but I used to volunteer as a tutor for K-12 kids) and am an easygoing, chill person who is responsible and has Basic Life Support (BLS) training, which includes CPR. I am happy to watch older kids (5+), run household errands and help out with household chores. I'm also happy to catsit. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hello - My name is Aileen and I’m currently studying general education. I am offering childcare, basic needs for animals and household services.

I am very responsible & reliable, I can cook, do any household tasks that will need to be done. Look forward to meeting you soon!
Hi everyone! My name is Francesca and I’m currently a full time graduate student looking to work closer to my school with a more flexible schedule. I currently go to school for psychology in a dual masters program for MFT/LPC and forensic psychology. I also work with children 11-17 years old that struggle with their mental health that also have various medical conditions which helps provide me knowledge and experience when it comes to medical emergencies. Not only am I BLS certified, but both of my parents are also nurses so I’ve been around medical knowledge for a very long time. I love working with children of all ages and enjoy cleaning, cooking, and taking care of others. I have experience with kids of all ages from 3 months old to 17 years old. My babysitting experience started when I was 16 years old and began in the family. I took care of my baby cousins who were 8 months old and 6 years old. The 8 month old baby boy is also autistic which taught me so much patience and understanding at such a young age which I continued to grow and develop these skills. The most recent family I was a babysitter for moved to Texas a couple years ago but the children in my care were 18 months old and 4 years old. I was with the family for 3 years but within those years, it has taught me so much and brought so much joy into my life. Activities I enjoy doing are teaching children new skills, tutoring for school, and playing games with kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Working in my current job has also taught me many new arts and crafts skills that I enjoy teaching and sharing with others. When it comes to senior care, I only have experience through family. I have had close relatives who unfortunately became very sick and dependent of care takers and I was able to have the experience of taking care of them by helping transfer them from a wheelchair to the bed, adjusting their bed to ensure stability and comfort, how to keep them clean and fed, and to also keep their minds occupied and happy. I am naturally a caretaker and enjoy being able to care for all no matter the age. I am able to help cook, clean, run errands, and provide transportation. I have a great love for animals of all kind and would also enjoy/be comfortable working with them as well. I’ve had animals all of my life and currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats who I love spending my time with.
