Rachael $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Rachael. I'm 27 and live in the Marina. I found my passion for working with kids when I was 13 years old and became a mothers helper. From there, I've worked at different schools, internships at speech clinics, and eventually earned my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I've also worked for several ABA clinics supporting children with disabilities, and I'm very comfortable with positive behavior strategies. I am experienced working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. What matters most to me is connecting with your child, using positive reinforcement (like praise, attention, and play), and creating a comfortable, safe space for them. When I'm with your child, you can leave and genuinely not worry. I come prepared with high energy and hands-on activities. 99% of the time, they're having so much fun that they forget to check the door :)

Bella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Bella and I am a first grade teacher in Pacific Heights. I offer babysitting, tutoring, and pet sitting. I love working with and caring for children of all ages! I started babysitting and nannying in 2015 and have lots of experience with infants, toddlers, and young children. My responsibilities while babysitting have included driving children to and from school and activities, preparing easy meals, helping children with homework and reading, tidying up, and planning fun activities. I am CPR and epinephrine-injection certified, and hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and special education. I also earned dual-teaching licenses from Regis University in Denver, CO. I have done both full-time and part-time nannying, and I’m currently available anytime after 4 pm Monday-Friday and all day/night on weekends. I am looking for something part-time (1-3 shifts per week). Unfortunately, I do not have a car, and would prefer to not have to drive. Please let me know if you’re interested if you have any questions about me! Thanks so much! 😊

Tori $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Tori! So lovely to connect. A little about my experience: I have 4 years of nannying experience with the same family - two kids under 11 (7-11). The kids had packed schedules (a more robust social calendar than I) and I loved helping them hone their talents, taking them to and from activities, and helping with homework. I find it fun and energizing to play and listen to and create with the kids. I also have 3 nephews ages 1, 3, & 5 and I’ve babysat them their whole lives. I’m comfortable with babies, toddlers and kid age. A little about myself: I’m from Phoenix, Arizona. I’ve been living in the bay for 7 years now since graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. I have a Bachelors degree in Biology & Psychology with a focus on child development. In my free time I like to do pottery, hike, and swim in the bay. I love pups - please let me pet your dog! I can’t wait to meet your family!

Rilee $35 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you, I am Rilee! I have a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and a Master’s degree in Education, which have given me both the knowledge and hands-on skills to support children’s growth, learning, and well-being. After graduating from college, I worked as a full-time nanny for three years with one wonderful family, where I built a strong, lasting relationship and gained valuable experience in daily care, routines, and developmental support. I then transitioned into teaching where I have been the last seven years in elementary, and currently I teach 3rd grade. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I am reliable, patient, and love creating fun, enriching experiences. I will be available for babysitting starting June 15 when my summer officially kicks off.

Juliana $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Juliana, and I’m a caring, experienced, and highly reliable childcare provider with almost 10 years of experience working with children from 2 months old to 3+ years old. I was an au pair for 2.5 years and never went through a rematch. I also have over 2 years of nanny share experience and have cared for babies starting at 4 and 5 months old, supporting them through important developmental stages into toddlerhood. At the moment, I’m looking for overnight childcare opportunities for specific situations, such as events, date nights, weekend trips, or times when parents need extra support. I’m available for weekend overnights, for example from Friday night to Sunday, as well as weekday overnights from around 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM. I also have overnight experience caring for a family with three older children, ages 16, 14, and 12, so I’m comfortable providing overnight support for both younger children and older kids. One family trusted me enough to travel to Mexico for a full week while I stayed with and cared for their baby. I would be happy to provide references upon request. I’m confident with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, naps, diapering, bedtime, play, and emotional support. Families often describe me as trustworthy, patient, calm, and genuinely devoted to the children in my care. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and deeply cared for.
