Grace $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace and I work in interior design and live in San Francisco. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have primarily watched children ages 1-9. I spent one year as a live in au pair in Italy and enjoy childcare, pet care and general household assistant roles. I love bonding with children, playing, running errands and cooking and am excited to be around any and all pets. I always maintain a tidy home and am happy to help out with household chores. My availability is generally limited to evenings and weekends. Ask me anything:)

Mary-Frances $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with decades of experience caring for children of all ages. My background includes work in elementary education and supporting students in school-based settings, which has given me strong skills in communication, emotional support, and creating safe, structured, nurturing environments for kids. I’m kind, energetic, organized, and naturally good at building trust and rapport while maintaining consistency, boundaries, and safety. Families often describe me as calm, reliable, intuitive, and easy to work with. In addition to childcare, I have years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs and am happy to help with errands, meal prep, organizing, and light household chores. I have professional experience in events catering and as a pastry chef, along with formal culinary arts training, and I genuinely enjoy cooking and preparing meals for others. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, which supports my thoughtful, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I love helping families feel supported and making busy lives run a little more smoothly however I can.

Sophia 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hello Families! My name is Sophia and I have a degree in Early Childcare Education. I’ve been a childcare provider since 2012 working at various preschools in San Francisco as well as babysitter for families all over SF. I specialize with the needs of infants to grade school children. I love taking children on fun outdoor explorations such as Golden Gate Park to dive deep in nature within the city!

Sophia was amazing! She immediately connected with my two kiddos (my 9 month old has major stranger anxiety) and she got them both happily to sleep. You can tell she’s comfortable with kids of all ages. We definitely recommend Sophia and can’t wait to see her 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!"
