Hello! My name is Clara and I currently work for the city of SF managing child nutrition programs. In the years prior, I completed my B.A. in Sociology/Anthropology at Swarthmore College and my M.S. in Food and Nutrition Policy and Programs at Tufts University. I have experience as a camp counselor, nanny, teacher, and babysitter but my primary passion is food and cooking. I'm happy to introduce your child to healthy eating or basic knife and cooking skills! *PLEASE NOTE* I do require a minimum of 3 hours in order to accept a job. My minimum outside of SF is 4 hours. My rate for one child is $30/hr, my rate for two is $35/hr, and my rate for 3 is $42/hr. These minimum rates are non-negotiable. I strongly prefer cash, credit, or check. I do charge for the entire time booked, even if you arrive home earlier than the agreed end time. LATE POLICY: If you think you are going to be late or would like to stay out later, please send me a text or phone call an hour beforehand. If not notified, an overtime charge will be applied to double the time you are late. CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for cancellation up to 48 hours notice. Under 48 hours notice will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. Under 24 hour notice will be charged full fee.
Hi, I'm Wendi--a really fun sitter who has worked with kids of all ages for over twenty years. I'm also a mom who has had a fantastic time raising four kids in SF. I love working with groups of kids and was a Nursery Director for seventeen years caring for children from birth to age three. Currently, I teach first and second-grade at a public charter school which led me into the adventure of homeschooling my 13-year-old daughter. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read, bake, explore Golden Gate Park, and play board games. I have also facilitated regular parenting classes dealing with topics such as anxiety in the home, choosing the right SF school for your child, and how to bring "play" into your daily routines. Your kids will be safe and have tons of fun. I look forward to meeting you.
“Wendi was fantastic! I try not to leave the kiddo with a new person when I need him to be put through the bedtime routine, but we were in a pinch. Wendi took the job on short notice answering saved the day!”
