Hello Families ! My name is Salma, 27 years old and currently work as a credentialed School Psychologist. In my free time, I open my availability to new or returning families for sittings in the evening time (preferably on the weekend or Fridays). A little about me and my experience working with children and families. Simply put— it has always been something I was naturally good at and truly enjoyed doing! I have an extensive background experience working with kids of all ages (infants-high school) and I aim to integrate these experiences to explore what works best for everyone I work with. Spending time, caring for and being a role model for children is truly one of the biggest and most important jobs anyone can take on! Overall, it has taught me how to be patient, loving, fun and an out-going individual. Thank you for your consideration!

“Very professional with an amazing vibe. Reliable, easy to work with, and SF local is a bonus. Highly recommend.”

Booked by 13 families in Daly City, CA

Hello, my name is Michelle. I am a mother of adult children and a proud grandmother of eight. I have been caring for children for many years, including helping raise my grandchildren from newborn through school age. My oldest grandchild is now 28, and my youngest is 9. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. Most recently, I cared for a baby boy for a year until the family relocated. In February, I also helped a family by caring for their 3-year-old and assisting as a mother’s helper after they welcomed a newborn. In addition to childcare, I have experience with school drop-offs and pick-ups, and I am comfortable with flexible, changing schedules. I provide household support services during the evening hours. My responsibilities include folding laundry, meal preparation, cooking dinner, cleaning up after meals, loading and unloading the dishwasher, and vacuuming kitchen and dining areas. I worked with a family in San Francisco for over three years, both before and after COVID. During that time, I assisted with laundry, organizing kitchen cabinets, closets, and children's wardrobes, maintaining kitchen cleanliness, and preparing vegetables and ingredients for the week. I am flexible and dependable, and I am happy to take on whatever household tasks are needed to help keep a home running smoothly and efficiently. I also provide pet care and dog sitting, as I truly love animals. I am reliable, nurturing, and experienced, and I would be happy to support your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. ⸻

“Michelle was very punctual and communicative! Thank you Michelle!”

"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!"
