Hi - My name is Maca, and I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 16 years old. I’ve cared for my nieces and nephews when they were little and have also babysat for friends. My responsibilities have included engaging in crafts, playing games, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I also enjoy taking care of pets and have experience looking after friends' dogs and cats. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m happy to lend a hand. Additionally, I can assist with household tasks like light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to help! (:
“Macarena did a great job. She was diligent and thorough. She cleaned up after a long day with three kids making a mess of our house. We hope she can come over again soon.”
Hello! My name is Tess and I'm currently studying for my BSc at the University of British Columbia. I'm originally from San Francisco and I will be here for the summer. I have babysat for a number of families throughout the city ranging from ages 3-7 and siblings too! I also have experience with pets and basic house cleaning. Professionally I have worked as a camp counselor and workshop facilitator for older kids 8-12 so I love working with all ages. I'm looking more for occasional jobs but I'm also very flexible so I can work with last-minute scheduling and I don't mind when the night runs later than expected! I look forward to getting to know your family!
“Tesla is a fantastic, reliable sitter whom we've hired several times over the past couple years, and we hope to continue working with her. She has a calm, gentle demeanor, and has an authentic connection with my 4-year-old, who always looks forward to their time together. Tesla has a unique ability to connect with children in a way that feels very genuine. She is mature, smart, and has excellent communication. Highly recommended for any family looking for a trustworthy and engaging caregiver!”
Hello families, My name is Celia I am 22 years old and I have a valid driver’s license. I am a caring, responsible, and energetic person with experience looking after children from 2 to 15 years old. Over the years, I have helped children with their daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and a variety of fun and educational activities. Thanks to my experience with different age groups, I am able to adapt to each child’s personality, needs, and interests. I enjoy organizing creative activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, reading stories, and encouraging children to learn and grow in a positive environment. I believe that patience, kindness, and good communication are essential when caring for children. Families describe me as reliable, mature, organized, and trustworthy. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I look forward to becoming a positive part of a family’s daily life and building meaningful connections with both parents and children.
I have taught infants, toddlers, pre-school age, pre-K students at a private school in San Francisco. I also taught elementary & middle school students during school hours & after-school programs in SF public schools. I have also tutored elementary students. I have babysat children ages 1-5. I was a full-time caretaker for my now 5 year old daughter when she was an infant & toddler. Also, I have worked with young children with autism as a Behavior Technician as well. I can work as a household assistant & can cook, clean, & run errands. I can drive to appointments, activities after school or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats & dogs.
Hi I’m Meagan, I am a person who is passionate about caring for and teaching young children from infants through age 5. I have 23 years of child care experience. I am CPR and first aid certified, I am a creative and active person who enjoys helping children explore the world through art, music, outdoor activities, and sensory play. I have 72 units of early childhood education including infant and toddler development courses. I’m fluent in English. I also speak Spanish, some Portuguese and a little bit of French. I enjoy watching children explore the world around them and conquer the challenges life puts on their paths. My care taking style is play based because I believe children experience the world best when they are actively engaged in playing, exploring and using their imaginations to create new experiences for themselves. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. I look forward to speaking with you soon! Respectfully, Meagan
“Meagan is an amazing childcare provider. She started working with us when my son was 11 months old. She really helped him develop in so many ways. Meagan helped us transition from co-sleeping to sleeping on his own in crib without needing to be breathed or rocked to sleep. He started walking around 12 months and running all around by 13-14 months). Meagan is very knowledgeable. She helped us childproof our home and gives us so many great recommendations on anything can think of (e.g., best sippy cups, shoes etc). She knows about sleep schedule, wake windows, eating solids you name it! And if she doesn't know she will research and find out. Just like she did helping us teach him French. Our son knows many site words, alphabet, counting 1-20 in English and French by 15 months. Meagan helped him learn while having fun. Meagan also takes him out to explore and socialize with other kids (playground, children's gym, story time at library etc). This I am sure has helped his learning and development. She supports his emotional development, she is so patient and when he tantrums helps him sooth, models adaptive coping skills, and names feelings. As he has aged and is currently 5 years old a in school now, Meagan still supports our family with babysitting for special occasions and date night. She’s demonstrated skills with him at each age of his development from infant, toddler, to preschooler and now school age. She fun and connects well with him, he loves her. But she is has consistent routines and holds boundaries to ensure his safety and care. She also is knowledgeable about child development sharing resources and information. She also knows the east Bay Area well and shares engaging resources and activities to do with him. Meagan is all around amazing. She’s consistent and reliable as well as kind and thoughtful person. I highly recommend.”

"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!"
