Hi! My name is Arianna and I was born and raised in San Francisco. I recently finished my second year at the University of Denver, where I’m studying psychology.

When caring for kids, I am patient, enthusiastic, and always willing to go along with them. I have experience in caring for my younger brother as well as a family friend.
Hello! My name is Sophia, and I am a babysitter located in San Francisco. I started babysitting in 2025 (mainly kids 5 and above) and have worked a lot with kids in the past as a camp counselor. I am able to drive kids to and from school, and I love to connect with kids through art or non-electronic games. I am very punctual and reliable, and I am very empathetic and caring. I have learned how to navigate complex emotional situations with/between kids from my experience as a camp counselor, a skill that I bring into my babysitting, and I am going to UC Santa Cruz in the fall to study Psychology and Education. I have a background in music and singing as well. I am also an animal lover, and am happy to dog / cat sit. I am also open to house sit and act as a caretaker for seniors. I have helped out with performances for a few senior choirs in the past.
Hi Families, I graduated from nursing school in my home country and worked as a nurse for 2 years, caring for critically ill patients, also actively holding a CA RN license. I now bring the same compassion and dedication to my work as a childcare provider. Being a childcare provider, I love helping children reach important milestones. With a calm, friendly demeanor, I create a welcoming environment where kids can thrive. I have more than 3 years of experience caring for 1-2 children at a time and I am certified in First Aid and CPR to ensure their safety. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and board games with kids, encouraging both physical and mental development. I can also assist with light cooking, meal preparation, housekeeping, and supervise swimming if needed. Thank you for considering my application! Please feel free to contact me, I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!
