Hi there! 👋 I’m Pearl and if you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves being around kids, you’ve found her. I’ve spent over 20 years working with children in nearly every setting imaginable: summer camps, preschools, two years living with a family as an au pair, and ongoing nanny work. What started as a passion became a calling. Every single stage shaped how I show up for the children in my care, present, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic. What families tell me sets me apart: • I come prepared. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before naptime, I’m calm, creative, and never at a loss. • I use positive discipline, no yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I treat your home like my own and your routines like law. Your rules are my rules, full stop. • Kids tend to open up to me fast. I think it’s because I take them seriously. I’m currently available for occasional bookings, perfect if you need reliable backup coverage, a regular date night sitter, or someone to step in when life gets busy. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Send me a message, I always respond quickly! Pearl

She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!

As I am currently working on my early childhood education degree, I am grateful for the opportunities I have to practice what I learn from my college classes to the families I work with. Creating a safe and fun environment for the children is my number one priority. Along with this, I prioritize listening to the child’s needs and good communication with the children’s parents. I also have experience in teaching children’s music classes for 6 years.

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!
