Hi! I’m Nahomi, a San Francisco native, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and truly love spending time with kids. With my background in psychology and experience working with youth, I understand how important it is to create a safe, patient, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy planning fun, engaging activities — whether that’s arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading stories, or creative projects that keep little ones excited and involved. I also specialize in evening and nighttime routines, helping with dinner, bath time, homework, and smooth bedtimes so parents can confidently enjoy a well-deserved break. I’m reliable, warm, and attentive, and I treat every child with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family!

Hi! My name is Jupleen and I'm a recent grad from Georgetown where I studied International Affairs. I have previous experience babysitting mostly elementary school age kids and older. I have also been an overnight camp counselor for a few summers where I was in charge of kids aged 7-12. I love being active and doing creative activities with kids. I sometimes bring my Nintendo switch and kids love to play Just Dance! Depending on the age, I also love to bake with kids, and I am also open to help with tutoring, homework, or cooking. I played cello and tennis up until high school if that is of interest as well!

Hi! I'm Kendall, a nursing student at San Francisco State. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support in San Francisco. I've been caring for kids for over 10 years, from newborns and infants to teenagers. My experience comes from babysitting and nannying, teaching outdoor education, substitute teaching, summer camps, rock climbing instruction, and youth leadership programs. These days, I'm also training in the hospital as part of nursing school and currently work with newborns, which has deepened my love for supporting families during those early stages of life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. You'll usually find me outside exploring parks, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, building forts, baking, climbing trees, making up games, or helping with homework. I love following children's curiosity and creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and have fun. I'm happy to help with schoolwork, transportation, meal prep, bedtime routines, and whatever helps make family life run a little smoother. Before nursing school, I worked as a violence prevention educator, substitute teacher, outdoor guide, and volunteer training coordinator. I also have extensive training in communication, crisis response, and creating safe, supportive environments. I am certified in CPR/BLS (Basic Life Support) and Wilderness First Response. I also enjoy working with older adults. I've helped care for family members with severe illness/neurocognitive deficits and have spent much of my professional life supporting people through challenging situations. I love hearing stories, building connections, helping with errands, preparing meals, providing transportation, or simply being good company. I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs and am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and overnight pet care. My start in the Bay Area was exploring via Trusted Housesitters. Around the house, I can help with cooking, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, organizing, errands, plant care, and general household tasks. I'm tidy, dependable, and the kind of person who notices what needs to get done and jumps in to help. People often describe me as warm, responsible, adventurous, patient, and easy to talk to. Whether your family needs a reliable babysitter, an extra set of hands around the house, support for an older loved one, or someone to care for your pets, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.

"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!"
