Hello! - My name is Debbie, and I am a medical student at UCSF. I am offering child and pet care services. I have experiences watching toddlers and kids since the age of 18. In particular, I have worked as a camp counselor for 2-5-year-olds for the Neil Klatskin summer camp in 2018. Additionally, I have served as an undergraduate tutor for K-8 underrepresented students through the Latino Student Fund. I understand how much of a privilege it is take on this role and recognize how important it is to be a source of comfort and guidance to children in their childhood and adolescent years. I am also happy to work with families that have cats!

ā€œDebbie has taken care of our cat, Gigi, several times. Would highly recommend! She is communicative, punctual and caring. She also takes great pet photos that have made us feel confident our fur baby is doing well while we're away :)ā€

A Little About Me 🌿 I'm a veterinary professional currently pursuing my education in veterinary medicine, with a background in wildlife conservation and hands-on animal care. My work has taught me patience, compassion, attentiveness, and how to care for those who depend on us. Over the past 10 years, I've enjoyed caring for my nieces and nephews, from infancy through adolescence. I bring that same nurturing approach, creativity, and sense of responsibility into every childcare experience. I'm currently available for occasional babysitting, date nights, weekend care, last-minute bookings, and short-term opportunities. Whether you need a few hours of help or an extra set of hands for a special occasion, I'd love to help! I enjoy incorporating reading, arts and crafts, gardening, outdoor adventures, and hands-on activities into children's routines. I believe childhood should be filled with curiosity and creativity, with plenty of opportunities to explore the world beyond a screen. I'm also comfortable with infants and toddlers, bottle-feeding, diaper changes, meal preparation, homework assistance, light housekeeping, and homes with pets. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable being themselves and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in caring hands. The world is our backyard, and children are the flowers that sprout up to save it. 🌻 I look forward to meeting your family!

ā€œGinette was on time and professional. Responds to messages quickly. The kids (5 and 7 yr old) and our dog (4 month old) were comfortable with her! They all had fun playing outside.ā€

Hi! I’m a 29-year-old recent medical school graduate with a deep love for caring for others, especially kids. I graduated from the University of San Francisco and have spent time working at UCSF in cancer research, as well as building a nonprofit organization that I’m incredibly passionate about. I’ve had several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, including those with medical complexities. I’ve supervised up to 15 kids at a time while directing a summer science camp, provided consistent after-school care, and worked closely with families over multiple years. I also spent three years working at a tutoring center, so I’m very comfortable helping with homework and learning activities. I truly enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for kids, whether that’s baking together, doing arts and crafts, playing sports, exploring parks, or organizing little ā€œadventuresā€ around the city like trips to museums, hikes, or the beach. I’ve also supported families during overnights, vacations, and special events like birthdays and weddings. I’m known for being extremely patient, dependable, and a strong communicator with parents. Most importantly, I genuinely love building meaningful connections with the children I care for and always put my whole heart into the families I work with. I’d love to connect and support your family however I can! :)

NOTE: I am currently not accepting bookings. Sorry for any inconvenience! Hi! I am a young professional working in biotechnology. I started babysitting 7 years ago when I was in college and immediately realized how much I enjoy it! I am also a youth girls softball coach and umpire. I believe that kids should be in an environment where they can expand their minds while having fun! As a sitter, I am attentive and engage with kids, always joining to play imaginative games, sports, dolls, or whatever they are passionate about! In my free time I like to rock climb, play board games, play with my dog, and do embroidery. I have just moved to San Francisco and am looking to build my clientele base! I moved away from a few great families in Los Angeles but am excited to meet new ones! Note: I'm not currently responding to messages from Wellthy here. Other messages are welcome. Sorry for any inconvenience.

ā€œAlyssa responded to our last-minute request, arrived exactly on time and quickly befriended with our 1,5 y.o. daughter. We were happy to work with her!ā€
