Hello! This past year, I've worked as a Mommy's helper for 15-17 month olds. While the parents worked from in and out of the home, I assisted in regular childcare, park time, serving dinner and tidying/ cleaning of play spaces. I currently work at the Cal Academy of Sciences as an elementary grade educator and have also been teaching outdoor and science education (K-12) for some years now! I really value the natural world and helping my students harness scientific and artistic methods (asking questions, making observations, using senses...) to foster hands-on learning and fun. I'm also Wilderness First Responder certified (WFR), which means I am trained in emergency protocols, risk management, and providing medical care to all ages. The WFR includes a CPR adult and infant certification. At the end of the day, my goal as a caregiver is simple: to make sure the people I spend time with feel safe, supported, and able to have fun!
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Amanda both personally and professionally, and I can confidently say she is incredibly reliable, responsible, and caring. With a degree in Environmental Studies and experience in education, Amanda brings a thoughtful and creative approach to childcare. She’s skilled at engaging children in meaningful, age-appropriate activities—whether it’s exploring nature, doing arts and crafts, or supporting learning through play. Her calm demeanor and natural ability to connect with kids make her someone both children and parents can trust and feel comfortable with. I recommend Amanda to any family looking for a dependable, compassionate, and knowledgeable babysitter. She truly goes above and beyond to ensure that every child in her care feels valued and supported.”
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 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!”
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.”
Hi. I'm Mica, I’m 27 yo and I'm from Argentina. Currently in Outer Richmond, SF. I’m a full time nanny with an amazing family at outer sunset (one year old baby) and previously with a family from Tiburon (5, 3 and 1 years old siblings) At the moment I’m looking for some extra jobs like date nights or weekends positions at the moment. Open to evening part time roles. Back in Argentina, I was a child’s psychology student. I loved this experience and encouraged me to keep working with kids! Through this years I had the opportunity to work with different families which gave me a lot of experience when it comes to babies and kids. I had the pleasure to work with different families situations. Teen angers, single childs, twins and 4 siblings at the same time! I consider myself full of love, energy, ideas and patience. I am a really easy-going, sociable and communicative.
“She was amazing, both boys had so much fun with her. She was very punctual and friendly. I’m sure my boys would be excited to play with her again.”
