Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a nursing student and collegiate softball player at Dominican University. I’ve been caring for children since I was 13, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. Over the years, I’ve helped families with school drop-offs and pick-ups, meal preparation, homework support, playtime, and running errands. I’m also a big animal lover and very comfortable around pets. I believe in being patient, kind, and attentive with children while making sure they feel cared for and have a great time. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy.
“At our first meeting Taylor confidently jumped in with the boys. They had fun and when i came home they were happy and calm. ”
Hi, I’m Colleen! l’m a San Francisco native and have babysat for over 100 different families here. I've babysat infants and children up to 12 years old, so I have experience with all ages! I babysit for many families who have 3 children under the age of 4 so I am very comfortable managing multiple young children. I also have my own car and I am comfortable driving children. I'm very organized, always on time, and very tidy, so I'm always cleaning up after children. :) I've always loved babysitting and hope to find more families to babysit for!
Hello, Bay Area Families! My name is Ashley, and it’s great to meet you. I really enjoy babysitting kids and getting to know them and their unique personalities! I am an Aunt to five nieces and nephews under the age of 10, who live in Phoenix and Kansas City, and a dog mom to a miniature Aussiedoodle, Charles Barkley “Chuck”. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and have a working proficiency of French. I mainly babysat for one family with three young boys from the age of 14-17 during high school in the evenings and weekends in Wichita, Kansas. I went to school in New York City and nannied throughout the week, and babysat during the weekend for a few families with elementary school age children. I studied abroad in France and nannied for one family for the duration of my six months where I helped their three children with their English language skills, and primarily cared for their youngest child. I have lived in SF for 7 years, and am looking for occasional evening sits. Please reach out and let me know if I can help!
“Ashley was really thoughtful about confirming / being on time / associated logistics. She was very engaged with our kids and followed up my walkthrough with a lot of questions. Really kind and easy-going. My kids had a great time.”
Hello, cherished parents and guardians! With a heart full of love and nine years of professional experience, I've been on a delightful journey of caring for children since I was just a child myself, tending to my four nieces and two nephews. Holding a college degree in sociology with a minor in childhood development, I am not only skilled but deeply passionate about understanding and nurturing young minds. My mission is to provide a haven of safety and warmth, where parents can confidently entrust their little ones into my care. Whether you're seeking a well-deserved night out or a moment to tackle life's demands, I am here to ensure your children are not just looked after, but truly cared for. With CPR certification, a clean background check, and complete vaccination, your child's safety is paramount to me.
“Hailey did an amazing job with our three you kids. She fed them, put them to bed and cleaned up afterward. We are very thankful!”
Hi! - My name is Joy, I work as a barista so my schedule is pretty flexible and love working with kids! I spend a lot of my free time reading, baking and doing many different arts and crafts! I have been working with children for the last 10 years and have experience watching infants, toddlers and school age kids. I have done school pick-ups, naps, bedtimes and bath time, taken kids to extra curricular activities, worked events with groups of kids and spent time as a program director for middle school and high school students. I love to get creative with craft times while using imagination and am great with time management and details. I am a highly responsible person whose top priority while working is taking care of your child. Communication is super important to me, I am super punctual and am happy to work with you on what’s best for your family and your child.

"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!"
