Melissa 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Melissa, a reliable and caring sitter based in Pacifica. I’ve spent several years nannying and babysitting throughout college and beyond, working with children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve cared for infants as young as three weeks old (including overnight support), as well as toddlers and older kids. I really enjoy creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment whether that’s helping with routines, playtime, or simply being a steady and positive presence. I also bring a strong background in supporting families through my professional experience, which has helped me develop patience, organization, and clear communication. I understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease and informed. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, or homework support. Looking forward to connecting!

“Melissa is a really sweet and responsible babysitter. She helped us with our twins (21 mos) and 4.5 year old last summer on the weekends. She is playful and kind and extremely helpful around the house. ”

Sho $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sho. I'm 21 with a passion for working with kids, and helping them to learn, to grow, and to have fun! I’m SFUSD certified since 2025. I began working with children in as an intern at Sunset Elementary School in San Francisco, where I interned until I got promoted later that year. After completing my internship, I joined Bay Area Community Resources working with students at Sunset Elementary through their before school and afterschool programs. Right now I currently work as a second grade afterschool teacher. I'm responsible for supervising students, leading activities, conflict resolution, and creating a safe, fun, and welcoming environment. I also help run the morning care program at our elementary school, where I supervise children from K through 5th. I'm also majoring in Childhood Development Administration at City College of San Francisco. I'm really into soccer, music, art, and writing. I love getting my hands dirty with arts and crafts, whether it’s painting, drawing, or just finding something fun that the kids enjoy doing. I'd say I'm pretty chill, patient, and entertaining. I like being someone kids can have fun with and feel comfortable around, but I also know when to set boundaries and routines to make sure that they’re safe and that things are organized. Working with kids has honestly been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in my career. I’ve really enjoy getting to know each of my kids and watching them grow over time. I'd love to bring that same energy to babysitting, and hopefully get to know your family! :)
