Melina 1 review
$26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Melina. I was born and raised in San Francisco and have been working with children in various roles for over 10 years. I currently work in a local school district as a behavioral therapist, supporting children with developmental and emotional needs—experience that has helped me develop deep patience, creativity, and an understanding of how to connect with kids at all levels. Childcare has always been a part of my life. My family has run three successful private daycares in San Francisco, and since I was 15, I’ve helped care for families needing an extra hand during evenings, weekends, or special events. I'm also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust with your child. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every home, and I’m also happy to help with things like tidying up, organizing, or running errands to help keep the household running smoothly. Right now, I’m attending City College of San Francisco, studying to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. My background gives me extra tools to support children’s emotional and developmental needs in everyday moments. If you're looking for a caring, dependable sitter with both experience and heart—I’d love to connect with your family!

“I can't recommend Milena enough. She worked with my autistic son as his RBT for a year and also babysat for us until she moved out of state. Milena was the only one that could connect with him at his therapy center. My son trusted her from the first day they met and she cared and loved him like her own child. She handles unexpected situations calmly and efficiently, ensuring the child’s safety and comfort. Milena is incredibly dependable; she was always punctual, patient, kind, and excellent at creating a positive fun atmosphere. She was such a great asset to our family and I haven’t found anyone I can trust like her since she moved away from Florida. She provided not only exceptional care for our son but also became a cherished part of our family. Any family would be lucky to have her!!! Karla Serrano Cape Coral Florida”

With over five years of professional childcare experience, I provide high-quality, dependable, and nurturing care focused on children’s safety, development, and emotional well-being. I have worked with children from 3 months to 13 years old, creating structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environments that support each child’s individuality and growth. I am CPR, First Aid, and EpiPen certified, and trained to respond calmly and efficiently in any situation, ensuring a safe and secure environment for the children in my care. My experience includes working with children with autism, which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide individualized support based on each child’s unique needs. In addition to childcare, I offer comprehensive household support, including home organization, pet care, errands, transportation, and meal preparation. I take pride in maintaining a well-structured and harmonious home environment that helps families function smoothly and stress-free. I have been caring for children in the United States for the past two years (ages 2–7), and I also bring extensive long-term experience in Mexico, where I have worked with children ranging from 1 to 6 years old since 2013. I am a native Spanish speaker with an upper-intermediate level of English, which I continue to improve daily through professional experience and communication. I value clear, respectful, and reliable communication with families.

Booked by 1 family in Pacifica, CA

Hello! My name is Chloe and I am currently a full-time social media manager. I have very flexible scheduling which allows me to do babysitting and pet sitting on the side. I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now, primarily helping with kids between the ages 4 and 10. Tasks I regularly do while babysitting are cooking, cleaning, taking the kids for some time to play outdoors, take them to and from school, etc. I also used to assistant coach soccer so I don’t mind working with large groups of kids.

Selome $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Selome. I am a mother and a wife originally from Ethiopia, and I come from a large family. Over the past seven years, I have dedicated my career to working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I have experience at a childcare center that serves children from infancy through 13 years old. In this role, I worked in the preschool section with infants and toddlers, as well as in the after-school program for kindergarten through 6th grade. I hold over 12 units of early childhood education certificates and trainings, and I am CPR certified. My experience with infants and toddlers includes essential tasks such as changing diapers and maintaining their cleanliness, feeding them, and providing consistent, healthy sleep routines. I prioritize playtime and engage them in age-appropriate activities, such as visiting the park and participating in hands-on fun that promotes fine motor skills. With older children, I not only organize enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities but also read to them and assist with their schoolwork, fostering a supportive and enriching environment. I have a deep love for animals. I cherished a beautiful dog named Spanky, who was with me for 16 wonderful years until he passed away. Currently, I have two lovely cats named Sophi and Cammy, who have been part of my family for the past 10 years. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them and playing together.
