Hi! I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable caregiver with 4+ years of childcare experience. I spent 3 years working in an after-school program with children ages 6–12, and for the past 1.5 years I’ve been caring for two wonderful children who are now 2.5 and 5 years old. I’ve also cared for infants (4–9 months old) through occasional babysitting jobs, so I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, and bedtime routines. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, which gave me a foundation in child safety, health, and development. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have reliable transportation, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down with a bedtime routine, I love keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Hello! My name is Chloe. I do have a day job but it tends to be very flexible, allowing me to have mornings and nights open . I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now, primarily helping with kids between the ages 4 and 10. Tasks I regularly do while babysitting are cooking, cleaning, taking the kids for some time to play outdoors, take them to and from school, etc. I also used to assistant coach soccer so I don’t mind working with large groups of kids.

Hi! My name is Pamela, and I am currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) studying Child Development. I am a friendly, bubbly, and caring person who loves working with children, helping families, and creating positive experiences for those around me. I have hands-on experience working with children as a Teacher Aide at a preschool, where I assist with classroom activities, supervise children, support their social and emotional development, and help create a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. I also have volunteer experience working with children through summer programs, organizing activities such as arts and crafts, cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. Watching children learn, grow, and have fun is something I truly enjoy. In addition to my childcare experience, I have over five years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to different situations. I am comfortable interacting with people of all ages and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I am available to provide childcare services, including babysitting, homework help, playtime activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each family's individual needs. I also offer pet care services. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, walks, or general pet care, I am happy to help keep your furry family members happy and safe. In addition, I provide household services to help busy families manage their daily routines. These services can include light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, washing dishes, running errands, and helping maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by being a reliable, caring, and responsible helping hand. Whether you need childcare, pet care, or household assistance, I am committed to creating a positive experience and supporting your family's needs. I look forward to connecting with you and helping however I can!

“Thank you! Pamela is punctual and friendly! Would definitely love to work with Pamela again! :)”

"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!"
