Arianna $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arianna and I was born and raised in San Francisco. I recently finished my second year at the University of Denver, where I’m studying psychology. I am passionate about working with kids because I love seeing the world through their point of view and watching them grow and develop. When caring for kids, I am patient, enthusiastic, and always willing to go along with them. I have experience in caring for my younger brother as well as a family friend.

Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sophia, and I am a babysitter located in San Francisco. I started babysitting in 2025 (mainly kids 5 and above) and have worked a lot with kids in the past as a camp counselor. I am able to drive kids to and from school, and I love to connect with kids through art or non-electronic games. I am very punctual and reliable, and I am very empathetic and caring. I have learned how to navigate complex emotional situations with/between kids from my experience as a camp counselor, a skill that I bring into my babysitting, and I am going to UC Santa Cruz in the fall to study Psychology and Education. I have a background in music and singing as well. I am also an animal lover, and am happy to dog / cat sit. I am also open to house sit and act as a caretaker for seniors. I have helped out with performances for a few senior choirs in the past.

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi there! I'm Charlotte. I have a degree in Sociology from the USF, and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter/nanny. I am currently a full time nanny for a one year old in Bernal Heights for 3 weeks of the month, every 4th week the baby is cared for by her grandmother, and I am looking to pick up some short term/date-night gigs during that week, or evening gigs during the other weeks. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers, as well as caring for multi-child homes with 4+ children. I truly love working with kids, I am a certified yoga instructor and have worked at a kids summer theater camp. I can provide multiple references upon request.

“Charlotte has been watching our child since she was 7 months old as her full time nanny, essentially raising our kid with us. Her attention to detail, collaborative nature, and overwhelming kindness make her the perfect person to watch your kids in any capacity. ”

Brooklyn $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m currently living and working at a Buddhist monastery in San Francisco, where I meditate daily and study Buddhist psychology. I’m preparing to begin graduate school this fall to become a therapist, and I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to my work with children. I’ve spent many years caring for kids in a variety of settings. I grew up babysitting and recently returned from Asia, where I worked as a camp counselor in Japan leading groups of children and supporting ADHD, autism, and mental health needs. I’ve also taught English to children in Vietnam and worked as a tutor in the U.S. for two years. I love to dance, play, and do crafts, and I enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment.

"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!"
