Hi, my name is Faith- I grew up in and love San Francisco. When I'm not babysitting, I'm surf instructing middle and high school age kids, baking, or singing to my cat. I'm CPR and first aid certified for infants, toddlers, and adults. I have experience working with infants and toddlers both on outings and at home, and elementary school aged children at home, sleep away camps, and surf summer camps. I love reading with kids, as well as baking, doing crafts, or leaving the house to walk or go to the park. When working with kids I think it's important to have empathy and and patience, as well as respect for their boundaries and autonomy. I like to resolve conflict by making sure everyone feels heard and allowing children to feel and have space to process big emotions. I take care of my cat, Dumpling, at home, and I have experience feeding, walking, and sitting for dogs. I'm also always open to caring for other pets and broadening my knowledge. In terms of senior care, I 've had the opportunity to intern at the VA hospital in their longer term wards and HDU. I'm happy to provide check-ins, cooking or meal prep services, or companionship. House hold services I can help with are cooking/baking, cleaning, and laundry.
“Faith is super responsible and also super fun! Our son loves spending time with her. Highly recommend.”
My name is Gina, I am 31 years old, I’m a very easygoing girl, responsible, organized and patient. I’m looking for part time jobs and occasional babysitting on weekends. I live in San Francisco. A little bit of my experience: I was an au pair for 3 years, I took care of my two host kids since 2019 until 2021, a 18 month old baby boy and a 5 years old boy. Since I finished the program I started a full time job taking care of an 8 months old baby boy (Jan 2022-April 2024), the family had a baby girl at the end of the year 2023), so I watched her occasionally. They moved out of the city so we finished our contract. Started part time with a 9 months old baby girl (June 2024-currently) The family welcomed their second baby girl on September 2026, so I’m now watching the baby while the oldest girl goes to school in the mornings and then both kids after school. I’ve been babysitting on weekends another ages and multiple kids (ages newborns- 10 years old) I absolutely love children! I speak Spanish and English fluently. I am a nurse in my home country, a non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I’m fully vaccinated (including two booster) against COVID-19. I am also a dog owner so I would definitely not mind being around yours pets. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone.
“Gina arrived on time and our daughter definitely had separation anxiety right away. Gina was so gentle, patient, and kind. They were the best of pals by the end of the day. Just so grateful for Gina stepping in to help us this week (and potentially in future weeks if stars align). ”
