Hi! My name is Maya, and I’m a 20-year-old junior at UCLA, double majoring in Architecture and Geography. I’m originally from San Francisco and currently living in Los Angeles for school. I have several years of experience babysitting and have also worked as a camp counselor at the Bay Club for multiple summers, where I supervised groups of children of different ages, planned activities, handled conflict resolution, and ensured a safe and fun environment. Through this experience, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, organization, creativity, and responsibility. I genuinely love working with kids and enjoy engaging them in games, crafts, outdoor activities, and homework help. I’m calm under pressure, attentive to children’s needs, and always prioritize safety while making sure kids feel supported and happy. I’m also very comfortable with pets and dog sitting, as I love animals and have experience caring for them as well. Whether it’s babysitting, caregiving, or pet sitting, I’m reliable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust. I’d love the opportunity to support your family, feel free to reach out!

Hi! My name is Jamie, and I am a clinical psychologist. I love working with kids and can provide tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and help with household tasks! I am available on weekday evenings and weekends. I have experience babysitting and tutoring elementary through middle school-aged students over the past 8 years. I have worked at several educational summer camps, a summer school, and a program that taught social-emotional skills to elementary-aged students. I also have experience providing one-on-one tutoring and babysitting for kids ages 4-13. I can provide tutoring for homework help or for educational enrichment. I also have experience teaching executive functioning strategies for organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks, improving attention span, and managing distractibility. I love connecting with kids and finding creative ways to make learning fun and engaging. I enjoy helping kids explore their passions and express their creativity. I love creative writing, storytelling, playing sports and outdoor games, enjoying nature, and being silly with children. I also have 2 years of experience as a household assistant and enjoy completing household tasks to make things run smoothly. Through my graduate training, I have learned to be very reliable and organized and to communicate effectively. Please reach out if you are interested in tutoring or babysitting for your children or a household assistant!
“Jamie was on time, thorough with the job, and communicative, leaving the condo spotless. I would highly recommend her service.”
My name is Leah, and I’d be happy to help out with your kiddos! A little about me — I’m a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, California, and recently moved to San Francisco. I’ve worked with children for many years as a camp counselor, tutor, and behavior interventionist for children with special needs. I also have several years of experience as a medical assistant, so I’m CPR-certified and have strong medical knowledge. I’ve been babysitting for about three years and have worked with kids of all ages. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, or extracurricular activities. I love being outdoors and doing creative projects like arts and crafts. My schedule is very flexible, and I have a car for any transportation needs. I’d be glad to provide additional information or references — I look forward to meeting you and your family!
