Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hey! My name is Sana! I have a few years of experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with two cats for most of my life and also lived with the most lovable golden doodle, Nala! Over the past three years, I’ve also helped pet sit for friends’ cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for my roommate’s dog, Nala, for multiple days at a time. I currently work in a hybrid position, so I’m in the office three days a week. On those days, I usually leave around 8 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. I’m very flexible with my schedule and can adjust my in-office days or visit times to fit your pet’s needs. I love meeting new furry friends and will always be patient and attentive to your pet’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :)

Shirley $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced educator and caregiver based in San Francisco, bringing an unique blend of teaching, outdoor education, and enrichment-based childcare. I currently work at a private school as an Extended Day Program Teacher and Technology Co-Teacher, where I support students’ social-emotional growth while teaching coding, animation, and digital literacy to elementary-aged children. My background includes working as a Naturalist and Camp Leader, where I led outdoor education programs, facilitated team-building on ropes courses, and designed engaging, hands-on curriculum in science, history, and environmental stewardship. I’ve worked with groups of all sizes—from small cohorts to over 100 students—and am confident managing a wide range of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I specialize in creating structured, play-based experiences that keep kids engaged, curious, and supported. Whether it’s STEM projects, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental needs. I also speak Mandarin and have experience supporting multilingual learners. With certifications in Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and AED, plus my own reliable vehicle, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I create meaningful, fun, and enriching experiences for every child I work with.

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

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:)

“Absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and fun sitter. She cared for my 2 month and 5 year old for an all day affair, and the older one cannot wait for Grace to come over again. 10/10! ”

"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!"
