Leslie San Francisco
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Leslie, and I'm a warm, reliable sitter with 2-3 years of experience caring for children and pets. My goal is to ensure a safe, fun, and happy environment for everyone in your family. I specialize in caring for school-aged children and pre-teens, focusing on activities that match their energy and interests. I love encouraging creativity with arts and crafts, getting active by playing sports, and fostering imagination through reading books. I'm happy to assist with homework, manage after-school routines, and prepare simple, healthy meals. I am committed to making sure your children feel secure, engaged, and well-cared for while you're away. I have a great fondness for animals and experience caring for a variety of pets, including both big and small dogs, as well as cats. Whether your dog is a tiny terrier or a large lab, or your cat needs quiet cuddle time, I provide attentive care that meets their specific needs. This includes walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure they get plenty of affection. I'm comfortable with animals that shed and will always treat your pets with the love and respect they deserve! I look forward to meeting your family and discussing how I can provide the best support for your home!

Tesla 1 review
San Francisco
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tess and I'm currently studying for my BSc at the University of British Columbia. I'm originally from San Francisco and I will be here for the summer. I have babysat for a number of families throughout the city ranging from ages 3-7 and siblings too! I also have experience with pets and basic house cleaning. Professionally I have worked as a camp counselor and workshop facilitator for older kids 8-12 so I love working with all ages. I'm looking more for occasional jobs but I'm also very flexible so I can work with last-minute scheduling and I don't mind when the night runs later than expected! I look forward to getting to know your family!

Tesla is a fantastic, reliable sitter whom we've hired several times over the past couple years, and we hope to continue working with her. She has a calm, gentle demeanor, and has an authentic connection with my 4-year-old, who always looks forward to their time together. Tesla has a unique ability to connect with children in a way that feels very genuine. She is mature, smart, and has excellent communication. Highly recommended for any family looking for a trustworthy and engaging caregiver!

Hello families, My name is Celia I am 22 years old and I have a valid driver’s license. I am a caring, responsible, and energetic person with experience looking after children from 2 to 15 years old. Over the years, I have helped children with their daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and a variety of fun and educational activities.

I enjoy organizing creative activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, reading stories, and encouraging children to learn and grow in a positive environment. I believe that patience, kindness, and good communication are essential when caring for children. Families describe me as reliable, mature, organized, and trustworthy.

Sophia 1 review
San Francisco
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Pacifica, CA

Hello Families! My name is Sophia and I have a degree in Early Childcare Education. I’ve been a childcare provider since 2012 working at various preschools in San Francisco as well as babysitter for families all over SF. I specialize with the needs of infants to grade school children. I love taking children on fun outdoor explorations such as Golden Gate Park to dive deep in nature within the city!

Sophia was amazing! She immediately connected with my two kiddos (my 9 month old has major stranger anxiety) and she got them both happily to sleep. You can tell she’s comfortable with kids of all ages. We definitely recommend Sophia and can’t wait to see her again!
