$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hello families! My name is Sophie and I am 29 years old. I’m originally from Germany and live in the Marina with my husband. I‘m offering child care and household services which I have years of experience with. I enjoy taking care of kids and helping them throughout their daily activities. I am an Occupational Therapist and have been working with kids since I was a teenager. I was an Aupair (2[removed]) here in the Bay Area and loved being a part of my hostkids‘ (6 and 8 years old) daily life. I also have experience watching toddlers and taking care of babies through nannying jobs and family. I look forward to bringing support and joy to your home and making your life easier. See you soon, Sophie 😊 - Valid Green Card / Work authorisation - California Driver’s License since 2021

“Sophie was wonderful with our almost-3-year-old. Ollie took to her immediately, and they had a blast together at the park. She’s warm, attentive, and clearly experienced with little ones, and as a German speaker she was a great fit for our family. Communication was easy and she showed up right on time. We’re already booking her again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

Jessica $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jess. I'm 31 years old and love working with kids. My mom was a kindergarten teacher growing up, so I was always a booked babysitter and carried on to be a part-time nanny to multiple families through my 20s. I've been working in tech as a UX designer in SF for the past 6+ years (Georgia Tech graduate in 2017), but I was part of a recent lay-off, so I'm looking for some part-time babysitting or nannying again! I live in North Beach and have a flexible schedule! Comfortable with multiple kids and all genders. Being around kids energizes me - I love being part of their world. I love animals, music, fashion, and travel!

Olivia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!

Cassidy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Cassidy and I'm a junior at SFSU. I am offering child care and household services. I started babysitting a bit more than a year now, but have worked with children since I was 16 (volunteering at an elementary after-school program). I love being creative with children, so I do crafts, draw, build, and make up games with kids when I babysit them. I also have experience helping kids with homework and am happy to provide extra academic support! I can drive to the kids' appointments or anywhere needed, cook, and clean. I am allergic to cats.

"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!"
