Hi! I'm Perla, I currently work at a K-8th charter school for the Special Education department as well as for the education department of a nonprofit where I work with children ranging from kindergarten to 6th grade. I have been babysitting since for 8 years for different families around the city of San Francisco. I can help with anything ranging from feeding to sleep time to homework. I am a very patient tutor when it comes to homework help. I love taking the kids outside to play in the fresh air, but reading and doing arts and crafts inside is just as fun. I am a highly dependable and adaptable Babysitter with a lot of patience and a love for kids (as well as furry friends). I have a lot of experience with different social and emotional behaviors. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. Flexible scheduling availability. In my free time I love to watch movies, hang out with friends, eat new delicious foods, traveling, and reading books.

Hello Families! My name is Natalie and I just graduated from nursing school. I’ve worked at preschools and summer camps every summer since I started high school, so I have lots of experience with younger and school-aged children. I am CPR/BLS, ACLS, PALS, and First Aid Certified and up to date with all my vaccines, including COVID. I am also bilingual in English and Chinese. If desired, I would be glad to offer tutoring, dog sitting, and household services as well.

“Natalie was fabulous!! She jumped right in with my 17 month old and he seemed to really like her right off the bat. She was very calm and made me feel immediately comfortable. She completely reorganized his toys once he went down which we did not ask her to do but it was such a treat to come home to. We would love to have her back!! ”

“Kiki was truly fantastic with my children (aged 4 and 1). The little ones loved spending the evening with Kiki, and everything was wonderful. they even went to bed on time and slept thru the night! Kiki è stata davvero fantastica con i miei bambini (di 4 e 1 anno). I piccoli hanno adorato trascorrere la serata con lei ed è andato tutto a meraviglia; sono persino andati a letto in orario e hanno dormito tutta la notte!”

"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!"
