Rilee $35 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you, I am Rilee! I have a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and a Master’s degree in Education, which have given me both the knowledge and hands-on skills to support children’s growth, learning, and well-being. After graduating from college, I worked as a full-time nanny for three years with one wonderful family, where I built a strong, lasting relationship and gained valuable experience in daily care, routines, and developmental support. I then transitioned into teaching where I have been the last seven years in elementary, and currently I teach 3rd grade. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I am reliable, patient, and love creating fun, enriching experiences. I will be available for babysitting starting June 15 when my summer officially kicks off.

Hi, I'm Wendi--a really fun sitter who has worked with kids of all ages for over twenty years. I'm also a mom who has had a fantastic time raising four kids in SF. I love working with groups of kids and was a Nursery Director for seventeen years caring for children from birth to age three. Currently, I teach first and second-grade at a public charter school which led me into the adventure of homeschooling my 13-year-old daughter. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read, bake, explore Golden Gate Park, and play board games. I have also facilitated regular parenting classes dealing with topics such as anxiety in the home, choosing the right SF school for your child, and how to bring "play" into your daily routines. Your kids will be safe and have tons of fun. I look forward to meeting you.

“Wendi was fantastic! I try not to leave the kiddo with a new person when I need him to be put through the bedtime routine, but we were in a pinch. Wendi took the job on short notice answering saved the day!”

Hi, Moms and Dads! 👋 I have over 15 years of childcare experience as an au pair, nanny, tutor, and occasional babysitter. Working with children has always been something I genuinely love and enjoy! I'm an energetic, creative, fun-loving, patient, and responsible person. I naturally connect with children and love creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where they can learn, explore, and have fun. My Childcare Experience I spent two wonderful years as an au pair, caring for children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. During my first year, I cared for two adorable children, Luca (3 years old) and Milly (7 months old). My daily responsibilities included preparing meals, feeding, diaper changes, potty training, dressing, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and maintaining their daily routines. Beyond their everyday needs, I loved planning fun and educational activities! We spent our days reading books, singing songs, doing arts and crafts, playing board games, visiting playgrounds, attending Gymboree classes, and exploring museums and the zoo. I also prepared homemade baby food and helped support the children's developmental milestones. During my second year, I cared for Madeleine, a wonderful 6-year-old girl. We had so much fun exploring the Bay Area together! Some of our favorite destinations included the Oakland Zoo, Lawrence Hall of Science, Chabot Space & Science Center, Pier 39, Dolores Park, and Dracena Park. On rainy days, we enjoyed indoor activities such as ceramic painting, ice skating, and indoor play centers. Before becoming an au pair, I also volunteered at a kindergarten for nearly a year. I helped children with their daily routines, meals, and personal hygiene while organizing educational games, creative projects, and activities to teach colors, numbers, and basic skills. A Little More About Me I'm a Chemical Engineer, and I have a master's degree in Engineering Management from CSU, East Bay. I currently work full-time as a Project Manager for a construction contractor. Still, childcare continues to be a meaningful part of my life. I truly enjoy spending time with children, encouraging their curiosity, supporting their development, and making wonderful memories together.I believe that children learn best when they feel safe, happy, respected, and encouraged to be themselves. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their little ones are in caring and responsible hands.
