Hello, cherished parents and guardians! With a heart full of love and nine years of professional experience, I've been on a delightful journey of caring for children since I was just a child myself, tending to my four nieces and two nephews. Holding a college degree in sociology with a minor in childhood development, I am not only skilled but deeply passionate about understanding and nurturing young minds. My mission is to provide a haven of safety and warmth, where parents can confidently entrust their little ones into my care. Whether you're seeking a well-deserved night out or a moment to tackle life's demands, I am here to ensure your children are not just looked after, but truly cared for. With CPR certification, a clean background check, and complete vaccination, your child's safety is paramount to me.

“Hailey did an amazing job with our three you kids. She fed them, put them to bed and cleaned up afterward. We are very thankful!”

Hi! - My name is Joy, I work as a barista so my schedule is pretty flexible and love working with kids! I spend a lot of my free time reading, baking and doing many different arts and crafts! I have been working with children for the last 10 years and have experience watching infants, toddlers and school age kids. I have done school pick-ups, naps, bedtimes and bath time, taken kids to extra curricular activities, worked events with groups of kids and spent time as a program director for middle school and high school students. I love to get creative with craft times while using imagination and am great with time management and details. I am a highly responsible person whose top priority while working is taking care of your child. Communication is super important to me, I am super punctual and am happy to work with you on what’s best for your family and your child.

Hi! My name is Toyosi. I was born and raised in Chicago and moved to San Francisco last year for medical school. I graduated from Princeton University in 2021, and I currently attend UCSF School of Medicine. I have always loved working with children, and I have been babysitting since high school. I am also interested in pursuing pediatrics after medical school. Outside of school (and babysitting), I enjoy reading, watching and playing soccer, practicing yoga, and taking long walks along the beautiful streets of San Francisco. All in all, I am a very genuine, kind, and thoughtful individual, and I always strive to provide my very best in my work and care for others. I hope to work with you soon!

“Toyosi is a delight! Reliable and my boys loved her. ”

Hey I'm Mallory 👋 I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old (that seems wild in this day and age) and I am an aunt to 3 kids ages 1, 3 & 7 with one on the way. I love children and have experience with all ages. I was a nanny throughout college and babysat for date nights and other events throughout my career. I have a 15 year career as a head of sales in the consumer good space and am on a career break. Some things I love - cooking (will cook with your kids!), nature, going on walks, all the pets, trying new things, dancing, hiking and all water activities.

“Mallory was great with our 19 month old. She got right down on his level and read him a book while we left the house - no tears! He ate second helpings of dinner and was asleep when we got home. Great experience, would love to have Mallory back.”

Booked by 14 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! I’m Frankie, I’m a senior at Urban School of San Francisco. I offer cleaning services, pet care, and especially childcare. I’ve babysat for twelve local families as well as my cousin’s since they were newborns. I have experience with kids as young as newborns to as old as preteens, but i specialize in infants to ~five years old. I care for both individual children as well as twins, and multiple children. I believe that children should nurture their imagination and creativity. I try to keep kids off of screens as much as possible through playing outside reading, playing with toys, etc. When I have down time, I will tidy up the house as well. I also have my license and am happy to travel or help with any sort of drop off, pick up, or general errands.
