Kayla 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with children since I was 13 and have experience in a wide range of childcare roles, including part-time babysitter, full-time nanny, daycare assistant, and camp counselor. I’m also an aunt to four amazing kids, which has deepened my love for caring for children of all ages. I consider myself caring, fun-loving, and dependable, and I value creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids. I currently work part-time virtually as a therapist and hold a Master’s degree in Social Work. Along with my professional background, I’m drawn to babysitting as a way to connect with others and provide meaningful, in-person care. I take pride in being someone families can trust and children enjoy spending time with.

“Kayla watched my 4-year-old, Jameson, regularly, and I am being 100% serious when I say this woman saved our marriage, our sanity, and possibly society at large. The moment she entered our lives, our household went from complete chaos to running smoothly. She is preternaturally patient, unfailingly reliable, and somehow both calm and magical with kids. Like how is that possible? Jameson was obsessed with her. She truly feels like part of our family. I would recommend Kayla to anyone with a pulse. If you can book her, do it immediately.”

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi! My name is Jhennifer, I’m Brazilian, and I'm currently living in San Francisco, California. I am offering child care services. I have more than 12 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from babies to teenagers. In Brazil, I worked at a preschool as an assistant teacher and cared for several children across different age groups. Currently, in San Francisco, I work as a caregiver for an 8-month-old baby and his siblings (4 and 5 years old), handling routines like feeding, baths, bedtime, and engaging activities. I’m responsible, patient, and truly enjoy creating fun, age-and-development-appropriate activities. I also love cooking and keeping kids safe and entertained. I speak Portuguese natively and am currently improving my English. I am excited to help local families who need a reliable and experienced babysitter!

"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!"
