Cepideh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cepideh (Cep for short) and I currently work part-time researcher at UC San Francisco, a role I secured after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2021. In undergrad, I was an active student involved in the Undergraduate Mentorship Program which mentors and guides first year students through academic and personal situations. One of my first ever jobs was as a swim instructor at the local swim school De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA). I taught children ages 7-11 basic swim strokes and safety during their lessons. I also had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor during my high school career. I led a group of elementary school children through their activities in a weeklong excursion in the Watsonville outdoor school. I find an incredible sense of wonderment when I have the opportunity to work with children. I end up learning more than I anticipated through conversations and activities I engage in with the children. I look forward to continuing to work with children in my local area!

Brittany Aryn 2 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I’m 25-years-old and looking for some occasional or part-time babysitting/nannying work. My legal first name is Brittany but I go by my middle name, Aryn. This past year I worked as an elementary school garden teacher in San Francisco as part of a year long AmeriCorps program! I taught students TK through 5th grade all things plants, nature, vegetables, as well as social emotional learning in a beautiful school garden :) I’m passionate about regenerative agriculture, urban food systems, and outdoor education, among many other things. I live in San Francisco now and went to UC Berkeley for undergrad. Prior to working as a teacher I was a full-time nanny for various kids ages 10 months all that way up to 11-years-old in New Orleans. I’ve been working with kids since on and off since I was 15-years-old so have lots of experience. I was a camp counselor for years so I know lots of games and fun activities. I have experience changing diapers, putting kids down for naps, cooking and preparing meals/ lunches, helping around the house, bedtime/bath time, creative play, and have been known for helping facilitate creativity (I love arts and crafts!). I have babysat kids as young as 3 months old. I also have a car so am able to pickup/ drive kids when needed. I would be happy to chat in person and/or provide references!! Looking forward to chatting!

Aryn has watched our 2 year old son several times and we would highly recommend her. She’s the perfect balance of taking initiative and direction. She’s thoughtful and fun and our son loves time with her!

Kayla 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with children since I was 13 and have experience in a wide range of childcare roles, including part-time babysitter, full-time nanny, daycare assistant, and camp counselor. I’m also an aunt to four amazing kids, which has deepened my love for caring for children of all ages. I consider myself caring, fun-loving, and dependable, and I value creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids. I currently work part-time virtually as a therapist and hold a Master’s degree in Social Work. Along with my professional background, I’m drawn to babysitting as a way to connect with others and provide meaningful, in-person care. I take pride in being someone families can trust and children enjoy spending time with.

Kayla watched my 4-year-old, Jameson, regularly, and I am being 100% serious when I say this woman saved our marriage, our sanity, and possibly society at large. The moment she entered our lives, our household went from complete chaos to running smoothly. She is preternaturally patient, unfailingly reliable, and somehow both calm and magical with kids. Like how is that possible? Jameson was obsessed with her. She truly feels like part of our family. I would recommend Kayla to anyone with a pulse. If you can book her, do it immediately.

Booked by 2 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi, I’m Ann! I work full-time as an interior designer, and am looking to help out families with date nights and occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends. I’ve been babysitting off and on for family and friends since I was teenager (newborns- age 9). I have various other experience working with children including volunteer ski coaching for kids age 4-7, being a first grade teaching assistant, and being an outdoor school camp counselor for middle schoolers. In my spare time I enjoy a mix of both active and creative hobbies, and when babysitting enjoy all sorts of kid's activities from park outings, games, arts & crafts, baking/cooking, or just watching a movie. I'm also a huge animal lover and grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. I currently have a sweet cat named Fig.

Ann was great! Very kind & professional!

Yamileth 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

I am dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a deep love for working with children.Though I don't have children of my own, I speak Spanish and I could teach them. In my free time, I enjoy dance, hike, and swimming. I have a great references of my ex jobs .

Our family cannot say enough good things about Yami. She has been our nanny for the past six years and we hate to see her go! Our youngest is starting full-time preschool this fall so we no longer have a need for a full-time nanny. Yami has helped us raise all of our children since they were newborns. She is the kindest, gentlest, most cheerful nanny you could ask for. She is also extremely reliable, eager to help out around the house and very deferential to what parents want. We hope she can find an amazing next family to work with.
