Kara $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents/families! My name is Kara and I’m searching for occasional or regular part-time opportunities for childcare or pet care in San Francisco. I’m a 23yo grad student at USF and am currently located in outer Sunset, and can reasonably commute to most places in the city. I make my own schedule so I am flexible to work most weekdays or weekends. Though I’m new to this app, I have worked with children of all ages for the past 5 years, ranging 4mo to 12yrs. I was previously a full time nanny to three children and have worked with many families in sf. I am CPR and first aid certified. I’m happy to provide references upon request! I am also a lifelong pet owner and have been caring for dogs/cats my whole life and am open to pet care positions! I would love to meet/work with 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!"
