Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I have experience with taking care of both children and babies. I've taken care of babies 6 months+ and also older kids 2 yrs -16 yrs. In addition to babysitting, I help kids with their homework and provide school pick-ups and drop-offs, along with errands/shopping for parents. My experience includes play activities, going to the park, making meals, story time and bedtime routines. For babies bottle feedings, bathing, and changing diapers. I've also worked with special needs kids, having helped raised my godson who is autistic, and my prior experience in Special Education training courses. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and also can provide references.

Natalie has been working with our family and 3 boys (5-8-10) in San Mateo four days a week. She helps with all the boys after school activities, driving, and short term babysitting. She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.

$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I am Masie. I just graduated from SFSU with a bachelors in Child development to become an elementary school teacher. I am currently in my teaching credential program. I have been working with children in professional settings for the past 6 years now. I have been camp counselor, babysitter, after school child care leader, nanny, TA for early childhood school, and now I am currently a para educator in a TK classroom at an elementary school in the city. I have worked with all ages from infants to middle school. I love to work with kids because it is rewarding and fulfilling to watch tiny humans develop and become their own person. In my free time I love to read, watch the sunsets, go to the beach, read, do yoga, and cook. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi! I’m Nahomi, a San Francisco native, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and truly love spending time with kids. With my background in psychology and experience working with youth, I understand how important it is to create a safe, patient, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy planning fun, engaging activities — whether that’s arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading stories, or creative projects that keep little ones excited and involved. I also specialize in evening and nighttime routines, helping with dinner, bath time, homework, and smooth bedtimes so parents can confidently enjoy a well-deserved break. I’m reliable, warm, and attentive, and I treat every child with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family!

$25 per hour for 1 child

I have a thorough background in childcare and working with children. I was a camp counselor at the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Adventure camp for 5 years and have been CPR certified twice. I am passionate and love to see children learn and grow throughout my time with them. I like to create a fun environment with the potential to ask questions, be curious and have fun as all children should. I am studying Biology so I love to expose children to the outdoor, information about our environment and other fun animal facts to further enrich their experience. I can’t wait to meet you all and share my kindness, passion and enthusiasm with you!
