Hi! My name is Bella and I am a freshman at Dominican University of California. I was born and raised in San Francisco! I am fluent in Spanish and can understand/speak basic Korean! I am offering childcare, senior care, and household assistance. I love working with children and have helped care for my two younger sisters since I was very young. I am also a trained babysitter through the American Red Cross! I am active, responsible, and can also help with tutoring or homework support! I love to play sports and run around, but I also love a nice day in with calm activities! I have experience in taking care of young children in my family and keeping them entertained! I really hope to gain new experience in babysitting while providing a safe and fun environment! I can also provide household support. I can cook, clean, run errands, and organize. Whatever you need to make your home life easier and more comfortable! I am hoping to learn new skills, gain work experience, meet new people, and provide dependable support to families. I look forward to the opportunity to help your family out!

I’m delighted to recommend Bella! Our 8 month old baby took to her immediately. He is going thru a lot of pain with teething right now and I was concerned about bringing in someone, but her calm and warm energy was exactly what baby needed. She also sent great updates and pictures throughout her time with him, and provided the most detailed notes of their time together that I’ve received from any sitter, which is especially helpful given that our little guy isn’t feeling well. She also cared for our and left the kitchen and play area clean and tidy! We are so grateful, big thank you Bella. We loo forward to your next visit!

Dear families, I love being around children, and started babysitting when I was in high school. I’m a warm and friendly person you can trust to take good care of your kid(s). I foster creativity with children through arts and crafts, legos, dancing, playing music and playing games. My experience in caring for children is with infants through school aged kids. I am CPR/AED and First Aid certified. I’m a non smoker with a clean driving record who lives a very healthy lifestyle I am interested in building long lasting relationships with families. My childcare expertise also lies in raising my daughter to become a successful and independent adult, and I do understand the challenges and rewards that parents face. I’m a graduate of San Francisco State University, where I majored in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I’m also able to help with homework, household chores and pet care. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, painting, reading and spending time with family and friends. Thanks for considering me! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family soon.

Full marks for Sara! She was punctual and established instant rapport with our two kids. Very calm and loving personality. We and the kids look forward to having her again!

Hi there! My name is Leticia. I’m 26 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been working as a nanny for 7 years and have experience with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and known for being caring, responsible, patient, and creative. Throughout the years, I’ve worked in different settings, including nanny share with infants and caring for +3 children at once, which made me comfortable managing routines, multitasking, and adapting to each child’s needs. I enjoy exploring outdoors with kids, and when we’re inside, getting creative with arts and crafts and engaging activities. I’m available for occasional babysitting and date nights, primarily in Marin County, but I’m also open to San Francisco. I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I speak fluent English and Portuguese. Strong references are available upon request. I’d love to help out! 🌻💕
