Hello families! I am active, energetic and compassionate when it comes to working with your kids. I like to focus on human development with the help of nature and staying away from screens. Feel free to learn more about the way I operate

“Natasa was wonderful with my kids, two dogs, and 2 cats! She was with our family for 3 years- until the kids started school. We loved having her high energy and great attitude sing through the halls of our home. She's caring, understanding and creative- your kids will be lucky to have her.”

~ Former AU PAIR ~ Hi families! I’m Kacper, 27, originally from Poland. I live in Noe Valley. I’m currently working on my Associate degree in Psychology before transferring to Bachelor in Cognitive Science. Experience: I’ve babysat in Poland, worked as an au pair for twin 4-year-old girls during my first year, and two boys (6 and 9 years old) on second year. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I create a safe and fun environment while also respecting your parenting style. I have a car and I’m okay with driving your kids. I’m happy to share more references from families I’ve worked with on the Bambino app. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 🙂

“Punctual, friendly and great communication! Thank you Kacper! ”

Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a full-time healthcare professional working in San Francisco. I offer evening and weekend babysitting for families who need reliable care for date nights or occasional help. I have several years of babysitting experience and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with dinner, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment while parents are away. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I always strive to make evenings smooth and stress-free for everyone. I’m based in Mission Bay and happy to help families in nearby neighborhoods such as Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, SoMa, and surrounding areas. I’m also comfortable with pets and light tidying after activities. Looking forward to helping families enjoy a worry-free night out!

“She is simply the best! My toddler daughter loved every second she spent with Melissa!”

Olivia $31 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Olivia! I work in healthcare and love working with families. I'm reliable and I have firm boundaries. I'm curious and one hundred percent engaged. Happy to help with homework, run errands, cook, do chores and of course spend time with your kids. I want to support in any way that I can because being a parent is hard. I'm available after 5pm on weekdays. I like some flexibility on weekends will room for accommodation.

"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!"
