Booked by 3 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi, I’m Lisa! I have over six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, a special education aide, and a babysitter for many families. My experience includes preparing meals, driving to appointments and extracurriculars, helping with homework, bedtime routines, and providing support with daily needs like feeding, bathing, and toileting. I value compassion, patience, and play in every interaction. I love pretend play, building, dolls, reading stories, arts and crafts, and exploring nature with kids. I’m not afraid to get silly and believe children thrive when they feel safe, seen, and joyful. I’m also experienced with pet care! I currently help care for two cats and an elderly dog by giving medication, going for walks, and providing lots of affection. I grew up with both large and small dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes. Families can count on me to be dependable, nurturing, and fun while keeping your little ones safe and happy.

Booked by 2 families in Brisbane, CA

Hello my name is Katie I am a native San Franciscan I will be returning to school to pursue a degree in nursing (hopefully to eventually work in pediatrics) after working in public accounting for the last few years. I started babysitting while I was a teenager and continued through college and beyond. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair living with a family and taking care of their two girls. I have experience with newborns, teenagers and every age in between. Outside of working, I enjoy traveling the world and being outdoors. In the last few years I have completed 121km (74 miles) of the Camino de Santiago, seen Machu Picchu and will be exploring South East Asia in the summer of 2026. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think I would be a great fit for your family!

“Katie was super responsive to my request for some help with my sick kiddos. She was punctual and had great communication leading up to her arrival. She hung out with my kiddos, colored, read books and played games to keep them occupied during their sick day so I could get work done. Looking forward to hiring Katie again soon!”

Booked by 3 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi! My name is Valentina. I’m a Chilean-certified Early Childhood Teacher and Montessori Guide looking for extra babysitting, nannying, light household duties or pet care opportunities during the week and/or on weekends. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, as well as excellent recommendations from families I still keep in touch with today. I recently renewed my CPR certification for both children and adults. I’m very punctual, organized, responsible, and active. I love creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment for children, and I’m also happy to help with light household duties, such as tidying up, meal prep, or organizing things. As a vegan and animal lover, I would also be happy to be considered for pet care roles. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions

“It has been a pleasure working with Valentina and having her in our home. Not only is she punctual, but our little ones look forward to seeing her. Cannot recommend enough!”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
