Booked by 1 family in South San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Ingrid, and I am currently a Medical Assistant as well as a student. I am offering part-time childcare services for infants and toddlers. I bring several years of hands-on experience caring for both children and seniors. Through my past work with IHSS & babysitting. I have provided compassionate support to elderly clients, and I have also spent years caring for children, including my nieces and nephews, whom I absolutely adore. These experiences have helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for helping others. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, light meal preparation, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive space for every child in my care. Please note that I am allergic to cats; however, I am more than happy to work with families who have dogs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring childcare.

Ingrid was great with our 16 month old. She was patient and observant with him, and he took to her right away. She always asked questions and made sure we were comfortable with what she was doing, and was a good communicator throughout. Despite working with us for the first time, her time with us went by really smoothly and she was very adaptable.

Hi my name is Lyka! I live in the Bay Area and I’m also a current second year biology major at UC Riverside. I currently work at the Little Gym of Millbrae a children’s physical development and enrichment center that offers gymnastics based classes, camps, and birthday parties for kids ranging from 4 months to 12 years old. I’ve been working at the Little Gym for over 3 years since junior year of high school. Looking to find a side job to help pay the cost for my college tuition so I thought babysitting would best fit since I have working experience with kids in different ranges up till 12!

Lyka is fantastic! Our little guy, 8 months old, absolutely adores her. We’ve been working with her throughout the summer. She is super thoughtful and communicative, asks great questions when she is caring for him and provides thorough updates of her time with him. She’s super warm and positive, and just a joy to be around. We are so grateful we found her! Big thank you, Lyka. We’re already excited for next time.

Millbrae
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ana Luiza, and I am 19 years old. I am currently at college majoring in Medical Assisting. I have been working with children for a couple of years and currently work at the Boys & Girls Club, where I help supervise children, assist with homework, organize educational and recreational activities, and create a safe, positive environment for kids of different ages. In addition to my current position, I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have extensive experience caring for children, especially newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 4 years old. I am comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, playtime, and bedtime routines. I am patient, responsible, caring, and energetic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. My experience working with families and in childcare settings has taught me the importance of communication, reliability, and creating a fun and nurturing environment for every child. I am fluent in Portuguese and English and also I speak a little bit of Spanish, which allows me to communicate with diverse families and even introduce children to a bilingual environment if desired. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I look forward to supporting families and providing loving, high-quality care for their children.

Ana Luiza has looked after my son Anthony since he was just two months old; he loves her. She is very affectionate and caring. She takes excellent care of Anthony—whenever the daycare is closed for holidays, she is always there to look after him. She is trustworthy; you can confidently leave your children in her care, knowing she will look after them exceptionally well.
