Find an emergency babysitter in Daly City, CA

Hi there! 👋 I'm Paveerat, but everyone calls me Pearl. I've spent over 20 years caring for children, and babies, toddlers, and kids up to about 10 years old are my specialty. The youngest baby I've cared for was just 1 month old. As an au pair, I lived with a family for two years and cared for their two little ones from ages 1½ and 2½. I've also worked in preschools and summer camps, and most of the families I sit for here have kids from babies to 10 years old. I love getting kids outside! We go to the park, the playground, museums, or anywhere they're excited about. On days we stay home, I plan play that fits their age, like blocks and pretend play for little ones, or crafts and games for older kids. What families tell me sets me apart: • Babies and toddlers are second nature to me. Bottles, diapers, naps, and keeping a newly mobile baby safe. • I'm calm and creative, whether it's a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before bedtime. • I use positive discipline. No yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I follow your routines and rules exactly, from mealtime to bedtime. • Kids open up to me fast. I think it's because I take them seriously. I'm available weekday evenings from 5:30 PM to midnight and all day on Saturdays. I'm perfect for date nights, events, or a regular go-to sitter. I'd love to hear about your family. Send me a message! Thank you, Pearl

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I’m a reliable, energetic caregiver with years of experience caring for children from toddlers through elementary age kids. I’ve worked with families in both Washington, DC and San Francisco, providing consistent, trusted support for busy parents. I currently work part-time as a consultant, so I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with kids. Caregiving is something I choose to do because I love it—not just as a job, but as a way to stay engaged, active, and connected. I especially enjoy working with curious preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3–6 are my favorite!). My style is hands-on and interactive—I prioritize play, creativity, and outdoor time over screens. Whether it’s building forts, doing puzzles and Legos, reading together, or heading to the park, I bring a high level of energy and engagement. I also have some experience supporting children with ADD/ADHD and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. Outside of caregiving, I’m a long-distance runner and love staying active—something that translates well to keeping up with high-energy kids who enjoy being on the move. I also volunteer as a reading tutor at a local elementary school, which has been a rewarding way to support early learning. (Fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified.)

Hi my name is Krystal and I have been babysitting since I was about 12 or 13 and love it! I babysit children of all ages and enjoy playing outside games or even staying inside to play. In my spare time I enjoy watching and playing sports, baking, and volunteering! I have volunteered at soup kitchens, marathons, and the Ronald McDonald House!

Hello! ☺️ I am a current graduate student at San Francisco State working toward a Master in Social Work. I was a full time nanny in the city prior to Covid and am looking to jump back in for occasional jobs while I'm in school. I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, twins, and kids as old as ten and as young as six weeks. I've also done weekend stays and overnights with families. I am BLS (Basic Lifesaving Skills) certified and comfortable around pets. Thanks for reading!

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years experience supporting families and kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a warm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. I took care of feedings, making bottles, changing diapers, putting the kids down for naps and bedtime, making and feeding meals and more! Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks and really became an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to meals and bedtime routines. My approach is positive, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).
