Find a babysitter in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Melina. I was born and raised in San Francisco and have been working with children in various roles for over 10 years. I currently work in a local school district as a behavioral therapist, supporting children with developmental and emotional needs—experience that has helped me develop deep patience, creativity, and an understanding of how to connect with kids at all levels. Childcare has always been a part of my life. My family has run three successful private daycares in San Francisco, and since I was 15, I’ve helped care for families needing an extra hand during evenings, weekends, or special events. I'm also a mom to a wonderful 4-year-old, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust with your child. I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every home, and I’m also happy to help with things like tidying up, organizing, or running errands to help keep the household running smoothly. Right now, I’m attending City College of San Francisco, studying to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. My background gives me extra tools to support children’s emotional and developmental needs in everyday moments. If you're looking for a caring, dependable sitter with both experience and heart—I’d love to connect with your family!

I am also studying Early Childhood Education (ECE) at City College of San Francisco and have completed 12 ECE units.

I understand the importance of keeping children safe, making them feel loved, and creating a warm, positive environment where they can learn and grow. I look forward to supporting your family!

Hi! My name is Grace, and I am a recent college graduate from UC Santa Barbara and a new resident of San Francisco. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services to families in the area. For the past two or so years, I was a teaching assistant at a university-run childcare center, where I worked with young children ages 2–5. Beyond babysitting for family members and friends, I have also been both a swimming and rowing instructor for the past five years, which has made me very comfortable working with children ages 6–14. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating fun, engaging activities for them. I enjoy both art and being outdoors, so I would be happy to create age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and staying active. If needed, I can also help with after-school homework and provide occasional tutoring. Additionally, I would be happy to take on household responsibilities such as running errands, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, and helping with other day-to-day tasks that make a family's schedule a little easier. I've grown up with dogs, so I am very comfortable working for a family with dogs or cats, as well as helping with dog-related tasks such as walks and feeding. I am responsible, dependable, and excited to get to know a new family and help wherever I can. I would be happy to discuss your family's specific needs, schedule, and any questions you may have!
