Hello! I love interacting and taking care of children. I have had experience taking care of my cousins ​​and neighbors, along with helping raise my little sister. These few years, I got more experience by taking care my two little brothers too. I am really interested in child development. Therefore, I am taking class to understand better their development. I am currently a college student. On the lighter side, I love pets, dance, reading and outdoor activities. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family!

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!

Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years of experience supporting families and nurturing kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a calm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is warm, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).
