Hi! I have always loved working and engaging with children of all ages. I've been babysitting on and off for kids age 6mo - 12 y/o over the years, including my nephew and friends' children when they need extra backup or simply because I love the 1:1 time with them. I've done sleepover sitting and bedtime routines, school drop off/pick ups, homework help, lots of fun field trip adventures with older kids, creative projects or games at home, etc. I'm comfortable and confident with any aged child. In 2021 I took a professional sabbatical during which time I worked as a substitute teacher with Mission Montessori (for the pure enjoyment of it), working with children 6 months - 3 years old. I have also volunteered as a reading and homework tutor of elementary school-aged children in the past. I'm very good with kids - patient, child-centered and love to make them feel seen and supported emotionally while encouraging their creativity and learning. If you have pets: I’m very comfortable and happy with pets in the home and pet care on a sitting job. Im currently an SPCA dog volunteer so get especially excited about dogs :).

I’m a 22-year-old female nursing student with a strong background in caregiving and child support. I’m CPR certified and have several years of hands-on experience babysitting my younger siblings and cousins, which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and nurturing. I’ve also tutored children in the past and taken education-related classes toward a minor, which helped me understand how to engage kids in fun and age-appropriate ways, even though I don’t have official certification for it. I have my own car and a valid driver’s license, which makes me reliable and flexible with transportation needs. I’m responsible, empathetic, and genuinely enjoy caring for others — whether that’s kids, seniors, or helping out around the house. I bring a calm, warm energy to any home I work in, and I’m committed to creating a safe and positive environment for everyone I care for.

☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️🌉☀️ Hello, I live in San Francisco and I have been working as a Full Time professional nanny in the Bay Area for over 15 years, working with children starting at 1 month old -- to preschool -- to older children. Caring for multiple children is my specialty and I have a lot of newborn experience, families tell me I am great with infants/babies/toddlers and have a lot of patience and energy for these age groups as well as all the others. I absolutely love my job! 💛 Note: if I apply for your babysitting job, I accept the hourly rate that you set! Working with children keeps me young at heart and I have so much fun doing it. I am a confident person, very organized and love structure but also very relaxed/flexible and people say I have a very calming presence. Basically I will go with whatever flow you have going on in your home and follow your lead and preferences. I have always gravitated towards caring for children. After college (UC Santa Cruz, BA Psychology) I worked as a Literacy Tutor for first graders in East Oakland, and even after some time working in office jobs life lead me back to children. I started working for a Family Day Care center and there I learned valuable knowledge about caring for multiple infants and toddlers at a time. Up to 10-12 kids! It was a natural progression towards nanny work. I love to read to children, play games, creative play, running outside, playing sports, being silly/laughing, etc. My mom was an elementary school teacher and people tell me I am like a teacher. I must take after her :) I am great with infants and toddlers, I recognize non-verbal cues very clearly and think ahead. I take instruction well and I also can do well without any instruction because I have so many years experience and I am a no-nonsense type of personality. I have a genuine interest in every child's well being. Your children will be well taken care of, safe and happy in my care. ❤️ I am CPR/First Aid certified. I can travel throughout the Bay Area, I have a very reliable car, a 2016 VW Tiguan.

Hey there! I am a nursing student at USF, with a varied schedule week to week. Prior to starting this program, I worked in oncology & public health research, and earned a masters in public health from UC Berkeley. I have enjoyed working with children for years; through child care, school tutoring, and summer camp settings. I have experience caring for children from a wide range of ages (newborns to middle-school age), and caring for multiple children at once. I've spent the most time with 4-5 year old children working at summer camps including Camp Galileo, where I was given the opportunity to educate, lead, learn, and develop my skills with these kids. I was born and raised in San Francisco, so I am able to suggest plans for taking the kids out for the day, often doing some of the same activities and going to the same places I loved as a kid (parks, the SF zoo, the beach, baking, biking, to name a few). I also love hanging out at home with them, playing their own favorite games, cooking, creating art, and reading. I am also CPR-certified.

“Maddy got along great with our three year old daughter! Maddy was prompt, friendly, and jumped right into an active day with our daughter, which included a walk to the nearby park. Definitely recommend!”

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years of experience supporting families and nurturing kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a calm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is warm, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).
