Booked by 2 families in Daly City, CA

I am an experienced caregiver who enjoys interacting with children seeing the world through their eyes. I studied public health and have a masters in counseling psychology, with training working with children. I am also a distance runner who loves to explore the outdoors in my spare time. Recent work with young people also includes my work as a preschool teacher for toddlers ages 2-5 years old. I also have experience in elder care and pet care. I love making life easier for families and am open to other ways to do that, including cooking and cleaning while you spend time with your children as you'd like to!

Amazing with children, responsible, self-motivated and personable. Our family is so fortunate to benefit from Tory's expertise and we trust her implicitly.

Compassionate Childcare & Family Support from a Professional You Can Trust As a mom of multiples, I know what it’s like to need help. I enjoy playing games, singing, and reading with children. I’ve worked with children as babies through adolescence. I’m currently looking for part time work to supplement my current career. I miss working with children and families. I would love to be able to support your family! As an associate social worker, lactation educator, and experienced parental educator, I bring over two decades of professional expertise in supporting children and families—combined with the real-life experience of being a mother of three, including twins. In my current role as a hospital supervisor, I guide care teams through high-stress, high-needs situations with calm, confidence, and compassion—skills I carry into every family I work with. Whether you're in the newborn stage and needing postpartum support, juggling school schedules and homework, or simply looking for someone you can trust for a break, a date night, or time to yourself, I’m here to help. I provide a safe, nurturing, and emotionally responsive environment tailored to your family's unique needs—including those with special needs, sensory sensitivities, or developmental differences. My Services & Strengths: Postpartum and mother’s helper support for new parents Lactation guidance and infant care expertise School pick-up/drop-off and dependable transportation Homework assistance in a calm, encouraging setting Skilled care for children with special needs and behavioral differences Respite care, date night sitting, and trusted coverage when you need time for yourself Trauma-informed, strengths-based caregiving approach Thoughtful communication and consistent, grounded support for both parents and children As a fellow parent, I know how important it is to feel at ease with the person caring for your child.

Margaret $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a college student looking to pick up some part time gigs! I love outdoor activities, music, cooking, and running around!! I have 2 years of paid babysitting experience but have grown up with younger siblings my whole life and really feel comfortable working with kids of any age but prefer working with 2 yrs and up! I have experience in household chores, meal prep, and taking care of pets so whatever needs to be done I am more than happy to help :) I also worked as a tutor in high-school and am very available to help with school work. I’m a big fan of sending picture updates/facetime’s while babysitting so parents know everything is ok; communication is my biggest concern. Thanks for reading, I’m looking forward to meeting you and 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!"
