Hi! I am a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco and have been a nanny in the city for over a year now. I have ~10 years of babysitting experience, I now work for a few families, and they have recommended me to others on numerous occasions. I truly believe children are our future and want to foster a fun but safe space for them. I try to make time for fun, including indoor and outdoor activities, but try to incorporate time for reading or more education based games. Respecting kids’ autonomy is also really important to me, letting them speak and advocate for themselves but still expecting respect and keeping on schedule.
“Kaylen was fantastic with our 18 month old son. She was on time and quickly learned his afternoon and dinner routine. We'd definitely have her back to look after our kids.”
I’m a CPR/AED‑certified caregiver and STEM tutor who pairs a calm, reliable presence with truly engaging, age‑appropriate activities. My background includes mentoring and outdoor supervision, accessibility support for students with disabilities, and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science & Management. Families who hire me get a safety‑first professional who communicates clearly, follows through, and creates structure kids thrive in. My care style blends warmth with intention. I build simple routines that make days run smoothly, then layer in enrichment: story time and sensory play for little ones; crafts, nature walks, and beginner science experiments for school‑age kids; study skills and math/science tutoring for preteens and teens. I’m patient, adaptable, and great at meeting each child where they are—especially when a quieter, steadier approach makes all the difference. I bring advanced training and hands‑on experience that high‑expectation families value. I’m CPR/AED certified and trained in accessibility from directly assisting a blind student with note‑taking, reading, and exam support. I’m food‑safety informed and meticulous about home standards—tidy spaces, prepped snacks, organized activity areas, and smooth transitions. I’m also outdoorsy and happy to plan healthy, active time outside whenever appropriate. Day to day, I can handle school pickups, homework and test prep, light meal prep, kid laundry and room reset, activity planning, and bedtime routines. I’m pet‑friendly and comfortable integrating care with family schedules and house rules. Expect proactive updates, clear boundaries delivered with kindness, and thoughtful problem‑solving if challenges come up. If you’re seeking a dependable sitter who delivers both exceptional care and meaningful enrichment, I’d love to support your family. References are available upon request, and I’m happy to align on routines, goals, and a schedule that fits your needs.
“Victoria helped me watch my two boys. She’s great with pets too. She’s a reliable and kind care giver. She’s great with sports and arts and crafts. She encouraged my kids to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Tori is a trustworthy babysitter/nanny.”
Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!
“We hired Jocelyn for a one-day sitting job and she was wonderful. She arrived right on time, was polite and respectful with us, and was genuinely sweet and caring with our son. He had so much fun with her, which says everything. We'd happily have her back and recommend her to any family looking for someone kind and reliable.”
Hi! My name is Alicia. I’m a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver who truly enjoys working with children. I have experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children. I’m comfortable with playtime, meals, nap routines, diaper changes, and keeping children safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and always treat every child with patience and kindness. I would love the opportunity to help your family!
“Alicia is an amazing person, very kind, friendly and loving with children. I would highly recommend her because she is a young woman with a lot of energy and very helpful.”
Hi! My name is Neidy Lopez, but everyone calls me Sucely, you’re welcome to call me whichever you feel most comfortable with. I’m 23 years old and bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. This is my first time using this app. I have over five years of babysitting experience working with a private family, which is why I don’t have reviews here yet but I bring reliable hands on experience and strong references upon request. I’m excited to connect with new families and provide the same loving and reliable care. I have completed high school, took a child development class on CCSF, and hold a CPR, First Aid and babysitting certification from Redcross. I have experience providing childcare care, I’m known for being patient, responsible, and attentive. I’m very flexible and adaptable, and I feel comfortable working in different environments and with diverse family needs. I enjoy helping with daily routines, playtime, and creating a safe, nurturing space. I value trust, communication, and kindness, and I take pride in providing dependable care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can rely on.
“I loudly recommend Neidy (Sucely) as a babysitter and caregiver. She has been an incredible part of our family for the past five years, helping us raise our son from the time he was a newborn. Neidy is loving, responsible, patient, and truly invested in a child’s development. Thanks to her care and dedication, our son has grown into a happy, confident child and even speaks some Spanish. Neidy is no longer working with us only because we are moving out of state, but she will always be part of our family. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her.”
