Gillian $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gillian. I have a Bachelor's degree in Education and have been working with children of all ages and abilities for over 10 years. For the last two years, I have worked as an educational behavior specialist and care coordinator, supporting kids and families in school settings. I’ve also been a summer camp counselor (Camp Galileo, Camp Kesem), preschool aide, and worked at a children’s museum (Pretend City), so I’m very comfortable jumping into different environments and connecting with kids in a way that works best for them. I like to be an active, engaged sitter, whether that means getting creative with an art project, playing a game, reading together, or going to the park. I enjoy building on each child's interests and finding activities we can genuinely enjoy together. I also know every family has their own routines and preferences, and I'm happy to follow what works best in your home. Ultimately, I want kids to have fun and feel at ease with me while giving parents the peace of mind that they're in capable, caring hands. In my free time, I love cooking and am currently into experimenting with new sourdough recipes. I minored in Graphic Design in college and am working on illustrating a children’s book alongside my other creative pursuits like sewing, polymer clay, and scrapbooking. I like to get outside every day, whether that is exploring the different neighborhoods of SF, going on hikes, or reading at Golden Gate Park.

Gabriela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Gabriela, and I’ve been working with children for almost 10 years. Being a nanny is something I truly enjoy, and over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to work with wonderful families and be part of their children’s lives. I have experience with children of different ages, from newborns to school-aged kids, including twins. I’m also certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. I’m a mom myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your children with. I know every child is different, and I always take the time to get to know their personality, what they enjoy, and what makes them feel comfortable. I enjoy spending time with kids, whether we’re reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outside, going to the park, or just having fun together. I also like helping children learn new things and become more independent as they grow. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I’m also happy to help with preparing meals, children’s laundry, and keeping their play areas organized. For me, being a nanny is more than just watching children. It’s about building a good relationship with them and their parents, making sure they feel safe and happy, and being someone the family knows they can depend on. I’d love to hear from you and learn more about your family!

Rachael $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Rachael. I'm 27 and live in the Marina. I found my passion for working with kids when I was 13 years old and became a mothers helper. From there, I've worked at different schools, internships at speech clinics, and eventually earned my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I've also worked for several ABA clinics supporting children with disabilities, and I'm very comfortable with positive behavior strategies. I am experienced working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. What matters most to me is connecting with your child, using positive reinforcement (like praise, attention, and play), and creating a comfortable, safe space for them. When I'm with your child, you can leave and genuinely not worry. I come prepared with high energy and hands-on activities. 99% of the time, they're having so much fun that they forget to check the door :)

Tyler $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Tyler, and I was born and raised in Burlingame and recently moved to San Francisco! I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder and moved back home to start my career. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m excited to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services to local families. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages. My responsibilities have included driving to activities, organizing crafts, lifeguarding, tutoring, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m experienced as a household assistant and can help with cooking, organizing, running errands, and managing household tasks. I’ve also cared for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable providing senior care, whether it’s cooking meals, driving to appointments, assisting with daily tasks, or simply offering companionship. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and great with kids—always ensuring their safety while making sure they have fun. I look forward to supporting your family!

"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!"
