Julia Caroline $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Julia! I’m originally from Brazil, and I’ve always loved working with children. Back home, I was an English teacher for both kids and adults, and now I’m living in the U.S. as an au pair. These experiences have given me the chance to care for children of different ages, from babies to teenagers, and also to connect with them through both learning and play. I really enjoy spending time with kids in creative ways! Reading stories, painting, dancing around the living room, or just playing games that make them laugh. I’m also happy to help with homework, especially when it comes to English. For me, it’s important to make every activity both fun and meaningful. Besides childcare, I’m also very comfortable with pets. I grew up around animals and I love giving them attention, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just making sure they feel loved and cared for. At home, I can help with everyday tasks like light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal prep, or errands. I like keeping things organized and cozy, so families can feel more at ease.

Tyler $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Tyler, and I was born and raised in Burlingame and recently moved to San Francisco! I recently graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder and moved back home to start my career. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m excited to offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household services to local families. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages. My responsibilities have included driving to activities, organizing crafts, lifeguarding, tutoring, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m experienced as a household assistant and can help with cooking, organizing, running errands, and managing household tasks. I’ve also cared for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable providing senior care, whether it’s cooking meals, driving to appointments, assisting with daily tasks, or simply offering companionship. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and great with kids—always ensuring their safety while making sure they have fun. I look forward to supporting your family!

Booked by 1 family in Mill Valley, CA

Hi, I'm Michelle! I've been working with young children for over 10 years, from summer camps, to babysitting, to working in preschools. I have two years of formal full-time teaching experience, plus many years of volunteer experience in Extended School Year programs for children with disabilities. I have also taught drama and musical theatre to young children. My first priority is making sure children feel safe and supported, and I look to strike a balance between fun activities, and calm moments to decompress. My background in preschool classroom environments helps me to stay calm in moments of transition, and has provided me many positive guidance tools to help children regulate their emotions and express their needs. I am also happy to provide pet care and household cleaning/assistance as needed. I'm originally from New York, grew up in New Jersey, and now live in San Francisco's beautiful Inner Richmond with my partner and our rambunctious dog, Maisy. I speak conversational Italian, love to sing, and have a degree in Theatre. In my spare time, I can be found outdoors with my dog, cooking, doing yoga, and playing ice hockey recreationally. I look forward to meeting you!

Michelle saved us with a last-minute booking when another sitter cancelled. She was very prompt, responsive, and clear with her communication. She was kind and engaging immediately with the kids (ages 2 & 4); very thoughtful and helpful. Did a great job keeping it fun while redirecting some rowdier kid energy. Would love to have her another time!

"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!"
