Hello! - My name is Debbie, and I am a medical student at UCSF. I am offering child and pet care services. I have experiences watching toddlers and kids since the age of 18. In particular, I have worked as a camp counselor for 2-5-year-olds for the Neil Klatskin summer camp in 2018. Additionally, I have served as an undergraduate tutor for K-8 underrepresented students through the Latino Student Fund. I understand how much of a privilege it is take on this role and recognize how important it is to be a source of comfort and guidance to children in their childhood and adolescent years. I am also happy to work with families that have cats!
“Debbie has taken care of our cat, Gigi, several times. Would highly recommend! She is communicative, punctual and caring. She also takes great pet photos that have made us feel confident our fur baby is doing well while we're away :)”
Hi — I’m Katriel (Kat), a caregiver based in San Francisco. I hold a BA in Psychology with an emphasis on child development and currently serve as a director at a nonprofit. I am available for regular afternoon, evening, and/or night babysitting and bring over 10 years of experience working with children ages 0–15. My background includes many years as a behavior specialist and family support specialist in the school district, three years of intensive early intervention therapy, and extensive experience supporting children with developmental differences (speech delays, ADD/ADHD, ASD). I am trained in ABA methods, play therapy, ESDM intervention, DIR Floortime, and occupational therapy strategies. I also offer early intervention services and parent coaching for families who feel they would benefit from additional support. In addition to providing consistent, dependable childcare, I take pride in offering individualized care tailored to each family’s unique needs. I am happy to assist with homework support, structured routines, engaging developmental activities, light household tasks, and overall household support. My goal is to create a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment while also helping make daily life easier for families. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), adaptable, versatile, and reliable. I have a reliable car, a California driver’s license, and a clean driving record. I am also a huge animal lover and very comfortable around pets, and I’m happy to help with pet care as needed. Rates reflect the level of care and specialized support provided, and may vary based on each family’s needs. My priority is that you feel confident and at ease when your child is in my care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to request references—I would love the opportunity to support your family.
“Kat watched my 11 month old son while I took care of my baby girl. She was wonderful! Played turn based games and sang to him. Helped with feeding his lunch and cleaning up. Proactive and easy to work with. Would love to work with her again! ”
NOTE: Please send a message before requesting any bookings. I don’t receive notifications right away with bookings, and unfortunately it affects the “cancellation” rate on my page. Do not send booking requests unless confirmed. Thank you. ————————— Hi friends, my name is Anne and I currently offer child and pet care services :) I currently attend SDSU pursuing degrees in Philosophy and Child Development. My future endeavors are to become an immigration or family lawyer, giving back to the communities that raised me. I believe working with children has helped me grow into a more patient, passionate person and I can’t wait to see where it all takes me! I used to run a youth development program for the YMCA at an elementary school while studying. I now work for TRNC! I enjoy creating an enriching environment that provides opportunities for growth and provide more stimulation for youth. When I have time, I like to babysit! :3 Some of my hobbies are creating arts of all kind, cooking, baking, and playing sports! Although I had a serious knee injury, I am still able to play sports and be active outside! I love trips to the park and taking walks when I can. I also love animals; I used to foster kittens with my grandparents and it is such a rewarding experience. I often take care of pets. Feel free to send me a message and ask questions! I will get back to you as soon as I can, and look forward to meeting you! :)
“Anne and our 3yo very verbal, very curious daughter took to each other immediately. We'd love to have her back!”
NOTE: I am currently not accepting bookings. Sorry for any inconvenience! Hi! I am a young professional working in biotechnology. I started babysitting 7 years ago when I was in college and immediately realized how much I enjoy it! I am also a youth girls softball coach and umpire. I believe that kids should be in an environment where they can expand their minds while having fun! As a sitter, I am attentive and engage with kids, always joining to play imaginative games, sports, dolls, or whatever they are passionate about! In my free time I like to rock climb, play board games, play with my dog, and do embroidery. I have just moved to San Francisco and am looking to build my clientele base! I moved away from a few great families in Los Angeles but am excited to meet new ones! Note: I'm not currently responding to messages from Wellthy here. Other messages are welcome. Sorry for any inconvenience.
“Alyssa responded to our last-minute request, arrived exactly on time and quickly befriended with our 1,5 y.o. daughter. We were happy to work with her!”
Hello families! ¡Hola, Familias! I am Paula (or Pau). I was born and raised in Colombia; I moved to the US in 2014 as an Au Pair (live-in nanny). I worked with two families in two different cities and have remained a nanny ever since. Some of the things I love are music, spending time outdoors, animals, hiking, dancing, swimming, and reading. My experience with kids began when I was 10. I come from a huge family, so I've been around kids my whole life. I am very energetic and creative so I like to come up with different activities age-convenient outside and inside the house, I have worked with kids of all ages including twins, newborns and toddlers; I love to spend time with kids, I like to play with them and teach them new things (like Spanish) and I think that security is the key to proper development for the kids so my primary goal is to make kids feel safe to play and learn and have fun of course! If you have any questions/or you don't see availability in my calendar, please feel free to message me. Hablo español porque soy de Colombia. Si tiene dudas, preguntas o peticiones, por favor no dude en enviarme un mensaje, con mucho gusto le atiendo. Thank you for your interest. ****SITTER POLICY*** - By scheduling a booking with me, you're acknowledging that you've read and will abide by this policy. -PAYMENT: Cash only, please. -AVAILABILITY: Occasional and temporary part-time care. Pet and house sitting. -RATES: My rates are the same whether the child is awake or asleep and the rate per hour depends on the amount of chores and responsibilities I’ll be in charge of. I charge double time for the following holidays: New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving Day, Day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Day after Christmas. CANCELATIONS: I understand that plans change. However, I do recommend a 48-hour notice so I can try to fulfill my calendar with a new booking. BOOKINGS: I charge for the full time I was booked for , regardless if I get dismissed earlier than expected because I plan my time and my budget around my bookings. So please, give me a 48h notice if you need to cancel. Also, if you plan on arriving later than expected, please let me know at least 1 hour before the booking is supposed to end. I'm usually flexible with late arrivals, but sometimes I have more than one booking on the same day, and your late arrival can negatively affect the rest of my day. Thanks for reading! :)
