Hi! I’m Karina. I went to college at UC San Diego and since graduating in 2013 I’ve worked in both preschool and elementary schools. I was a Behavioral Health/Case Manager at two SFUSD elementary schools. Before that, I spent many years as the after school Program Manager at an SFUSD elementary school. I have been babysitting since I was a teen and genuinely enjoy being with kids. Some of my favorite activities with children include arts & crafts, playing board games, imaginative play and reading. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dancing and taking long walks. I’m interested in occasional babysitting opportunities. Thanks!

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).

Hi, my name is Jiahui, but I go by Kelly. I’m a recent college graduate and am open to any babysitting opportunities. I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I grew up with two younger siblings and also worked as a seasonal babysitter at a private childcare. Duties involved meal prepping, feeding, changing diapers, potty training, managing routines, and leading fun indoor and outdoor activities. I have also worked as a K-5 tutor, supporting groups of up to 10 students in reading, writing, and math, as well as organizing science and art activities. I’m happy to assist with any homework help as well. Currently, I volunteer at the farmers market where I lead and facilitate group field trips that encourage children to build a positive relationship with food and explore their curiosities surrounding food. Feel free to reach out if this seems like a good fit! I’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have!

Kelly was lovely, on time, creative and great with our son! We will be hiring her regularly!
