Hi! I’m Yuri, a recent graduate from San Francisco State University with a Master’s degree in Cell Biology. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially for date nights and weekend help! I’ve been babysitting professionally for about 12 years and also grew up helping care for my 6 younger siblings. As a San Francisco native, I love building strong connections with local families and creating fun, enriching experiences for kids. I especially enjoy nurturing children’s creativity and curiosity through arts and crafts, reading in silly voices, building forts, digging for “gems” in edible sand (blended cereal!), Legos, nature walks, museums, and play groups. I have a Montessori-inspired, gentle parenting approach and love encouraging children’s independence, imagination, and confidence in a warm and supportive environment. Working with children genuinely brings me so much joy, and I hope to continue babysitting while I work toward finding a permanent full-time position in research. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!
Hello! My name is Shaden. I’m 29 years old, a Culinary Arts student, and I speak both Spanish and English. I would describe myself as an honest, responsible, and caring person. I have several years of childcare experience, including over 4 years working with the same family here in San Francisco, plus many years of babysitting experience back in my hometown. I started caring for their youngest when he was just 4 months old, while also helping with his older brother and sister, who were 6 and 8 at the time. Today they are 4, 10, and 12, and it has been such a special experience growing alongside them through every stage. I originally came to San Francisco as an au pair in 2022, and after completing my program, I continued working with the same family as their nanny while studying. In my free time, I’ve also completed many babysitting jobs with local families, building strong connections in the community with 100+ bookings and 50+ positive reviews. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I can help with school drop-offs, activities, homework, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, outdoor play, and engaging creative activities. I’m warm, responsible, patient, and energetic, and I truly enjoy helping children grow while making parents feel supported and at ease
“I highly recommend Shaden! We had a brief call to meet her the night before the booking. She arrived on time (actually a little early and she waited for the extacr time) for a very early morning booking, she was kind and professional. I immediately felt at ease with her, especially since my son was still sleeping. She drove him in her car to his camp and everything went very smoothly. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks Shaden!”
