Booked by 1 family in Pacifica, 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.

Hi! My name is Letícia. I’m a caring and reliable nanny with over 7 years of experience caring for infants and young children. I truly enjoy helping kids learn and grow in a safe, loving, and engaging environment. I love spending time outdoors with children, doing creative activities, music, and age-appropriate play that supports their development. I’m especially comfortable caring for infants and helping maintain routines like feeding, naps, and playtime. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a responsible driver, and a non-smoker. I value open communication with parents and always try to create a warm, trusting relationship with the families I work with.

Booked by 2 families in Pacifica, CA

Hello my name is Katie I am a native San Franciscan I will be returning to school to pursue a degree in nursing (hopefully to eventually work in pediatrics) after working in public accounting for the last few years. I started babysitting while I was a teenager and continued through college and beyond. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair living with a family and taking care of their two girls. I have experience with newborns, teenagers and every age in between. Outside of working, I enjoy traveling the world and being outdoors. In the last few years I have completed 121km (74 miles) of the Camino de Santiago, seen Machu Picchu and will be exploring South East Asia in the summer of 2026. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think I would be a great fit for your family!

Katie was super responsive to my request for some help with my sick kiddos. She was punctual and had great communication leading up to her arrival. She hung out with my kiddos, colored, read books and played games to keep them occupied during their sick day so I could get work done. Looking forward to hiring Katie again soon!

Hi! I’m a nurse based in San Francisco with 14+ years of babysitting and nannying experience. I currently work at a pediatric urgent care on the weekends. I’m looking for local families who may need occasional help for date nights, full Time/part time, weekends, or just a few hours to recharge! I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers and have been with my current family since their twins were just 3 months old (they’re now three!). I’m also happy to assist with dog-sitting, light organizing, and transportation to activities like sports practices, tutoring sessions, or even trips to the zoo! I’ve also assisted in supervising during birthday parties (ie. Extra set of eyes on the pool, and surroundings) ad well as events to keep the children entertained while still being in the vicinity of parents. I have my own reliable car for transportation needs. I am CPR-certified (infant, child, and adult), First Aid certified, PALS and ACLS certified, and also trained as a doula. I have one year of experience working in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), so I’m very comfortable handling a range of childcare needs with a calm, safety-first approach. My schedule varies slightly with my current roles, so flexibility (with notice) is important. I love building lasting relationships with families and would be happy to share my availability, experience, and references upon request. The best way to connect with me is by phone, as that’s where I communicate and rebooking with all my families. Looking forward to hearing from you! ** I typically communicate through the app but respond better via text as a lot of notifications get missed and easier to rebook** Thank You, Saoirse

Booked by 4 families in Pacifica, CA

I am a rising third-year college student with three years of driving experience, making me highly flexible and reliable for pickups, drop-offs, and last-minute schedule changes. I have 1–2 years of experience caring for toddlers and infants, and 2–3 years working with kids ages 4 and up—handling everything from daily routines and homework help to planning fun activities and outdoor play. I am exceptionally organized and proactive around the house, and I am more than happy to assist with household chores, light cleaning, and keeping things tidy. Outside of childcare, I work in real estate on the side, which has further sharpened my organizational, communication, and time-management skills—qualities I bring into every home I work with. As someone who grew up with both cats and dogs, I also have firsthand experience managing pet routines and behaviors. Because of this, I'm incredibly comfortable pet-sitting and managing a full, multi-pet household if needed. Overall, I am independent and calm under pressure, and I always treat every family's home, pets, and routines with the utmost respect.
