Margaret $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a college student looking to pick up some part time gigs! I love outdoor activities, music, cooking, and running around!! I have 2 years of paid babysitting experience but have grown up with younger siblings my whole life and really feel comfortable working with kids of any age but prefer working with 2 yrs and up! I have experience in household chores, meal prep, and taking care of pets so whatever needs to be done I am more than happy to help :) I also worked as a tutor in high-school and am very available to help with school work. I’m a big fan of sending picture updates/facetime’s while babysitting so parents know everything is ok; communication is my biggest concern. Thanks for reading, I’m looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Autumn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Autumn. I have been working with children since I was sixteen years old and I am now 26. I recently moved to California from Colorado in May. In Colorado, I worked for an elementary school where I assisted children between the ages of four and eleven years old, primarily focusing on small group management, and building their educational skillsets. When school was out for the summer, I worked for a popular summer camp called Galileo. I recently worked at the Galileo in Burlingame this summer. Outside of that, I have done my fair share of babysitting and can provide references upon request. I currently work at an elementary school in Millbrae as a SPED paraprofessional. Aside from my experience in childcare, I graduated with a bachelors degree in photography at The University of Colorado Denver. I used to spend my free time volunteering at the Dumb Friends League animal shelter in Colorado. I also have experience in pet sitting and can provide references for that as well. I am an extremely organized and detail-oriented person. I am very tidy and believe that clean spaces will allow for more productivity. I am a very fun and nurturing person. People will often describe me as silly, engaging and loving. I am extremely good with kids between the ages of four and nine. While I don’t have much experience with infants, it is something I would be potentially open to. I have my own car and reliable transportation. I am looking forward to meeting and working with some wonderful and amazing families. Please reach out if you think I’d be a great fit for you.

Andee 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Millbrae, CA

Hi! My name is Andee, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience working primarily with children ages 4-12, along with 7 years of experience as an educator. After working as a special education and elementary school teacher, I am now earning my credential in mathematics to become a middle school teacher. I love incorporating learning into everyday moments and am always happy to support with homework or provide math tutoring during our time together at no extra cost. I’ve led summer enrichment programs including science and cooking camps, so I enjoy creating engaging, structured activities. I also greatly value the importance of unstructured play and giving kids the space to relax, explore, and be themselves. I strive to find a thoughtful balance between fun, creativity, and gentle structure. I have experience working with neurodivergent children and take on a collaborative, individualized approach, partnering closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs so they can feel supported, comfortable, and confident. One of my personal passions is financial literacy, and I love finding age-appropriate ways to introduce simple money mindset concepts through fun, optional activities (only if this is something your family is interested in!). I’m a big animal lover and grew up with pets: currently I have two cats, Dougie and Mac (named after rappers), and a sweet dog named Mila, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals. I also have a reliable car and a clean driving record. Above all, I aim to create a warm, positive, and dependable environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together. Due to my full-time work + school schedule, my availability isn't as open as I would like. However, I do occasionally have weekend or night openings when schedules align, so feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family! 😊

Andee was an absolute joy! She came prepared with arts and crafts, was a great communicator, and immediately connected with both of our kids. They absolutely raved about her afterward. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily have her back!

Pamela 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Millbrae, CA

Hi! My name is Pamela, and I am currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) studying Child Development. I am a friendly, bubbly, and caring person who loves working with children, helping families, and creating positive experiences for those around me. I have hands-on experience working with children as a Teacher Aide at a preschool, where I assist with classroom activities, supervise children, support their social and emotional development, and help create a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. I also have volunteer experience working with children through summer programs, organizing activities such as arts and crafts, cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. Watching children learn, grow, and have fun is something I truly enjoy. In addition to my childcare experience, I have over five years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to different situations. I am comfortable interacting with people of all ages and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I am available to provide childcare services, including babysitting, homework help, playtime activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each family's individual needs. I also offer pet care services. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, walks, or general pet care, I am happy to help keep your furry family members happy and safe. In addition, I provide household services to help busy families manage their daily routines. These services can include light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, washing dishes, running errands, and helping maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by being a reliable, caring, and responsible helping hand. Whether you need childcare, pet care, or household assistance, I am committed to creating a positive experience and supporting your family's needs. I look forward to connecting with you and helping however I can!

Pamela is organized, responsible, dependable, so good with children, and just a joy to be around. She watched my daughter and another 2.5 year old for a week and went above and beyond to make sure they were engaged: beading, water table, making slime, fun hair dos, etc. We already asked her to babysit again for other days preschool is this year. Feel so lucky we found her!
