Caroline $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hi! As an oldest child, I've said that I've been in childcare since I was 5 years old. More formally, I've been a sitter/nanny in varying capacities since I was 13 years old. I've worked with families with ages 4 months - 10 years old so I have experience with everything from tummy time to tutoring. Even as I joined the work force after college, I still was the go-to sitter for several families. Now, I have recently moved to the Bay and miss the joy of working with kids so am looking for part-time opportunities to connect with and support families in the area.

Sarah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework. Some of my strengths are patience, creativity, and good organization skills. I am also fluent in both English and Thai. I am looking for a part time position, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!
