Hi there! I’m Scout. I’m a reliable, friendly, and creative caregiver with experience working with kids from toddler age through high school. In addition to my day job as a swim instructor in San Francisco, I’ve taught after-school programs, professionally run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for children ages 9-16 (and casually for family and friends of all ages), and spent most of last year as a live-in caregiver for two children under 10 before the family moved out of town. I bring patience, empathy, and a love of hands-on learning to every job. Always happy to help with homework, organize crafts and games, or help keep things calm and structured during busy moments. Kids tend to feel comfortable and confident around me, and I take pride in creating a fun, supportive environment for them to learn and grow. I love how so often the littlest humans are the most authentic (and, at times, brutally and hilariously honest) of us all. I’m also a life-long cat lover (I grew up with some incredibly beloved kitties back home in NYC, and I currently have a sweet boy who loves spending his evenings switching between my roommates and my rooms for snuggles), and am always happy to help out with kitties. I’m also happy to help out with chores around the house or running errands, as I get that having a few extra tasks off your plate can make a day far less overwhelming. When I’m not working with kids or giving swimming lessons, you can find me planning my next big hike (I recently completed the Appalachian Trail), reading, spending time with my family, or working on a new D&D campaign.
“We absolutely love having Scout care for our kids. They are incredibly energetic, playful, and fully engaged. As a swim instructor, they confidently swim with the kids and actively teach them, which has been amazing for building both skills and confidence. They also jump right into imaginative play—Barbies, LEGOs, and creative games—and love getting outside for hikes and adventures. Our kids adore them, and we always felt they were safe, happy, and having so much fun. We would highly recommend Scout to any family looking for someone active, trustworthy, and genuinely great with kids.”
Hi families! My name is Lacey, and I’ve been working with children for 6 years! The last 2 years, I’ve worked as a full-time nanny for two different families, and I currently nanny Monday–Thursday while attending school for pre-med. I have the most experience with babies and little ones ages 6 months to 6 years, but I’m comfortable with other ages as well! I genuinely love working with kids and being someone families can count on. I’m CPR certified, have taken babysitting and childcare classes, and am a safe, reliable driver with my own vehicle. I’m happy to help with just about anything, including meal prep, bedtime and bath routines, homework, school pickups, driving to activities, and keeping the kids entertained with crafts, outdoor play, and other fun activities. Since I already work as a nanny, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your children. I always do my best to follow your family’s routines, keep you updated, and make sure your little ones feel safe and comfortable with me. I’m mainly available for date nights, evenings, weekends, and occasional babysitting outside my regular nanny schedule. I’d love to meet your family and see if we’re a good fit! 🤍
Hello! I’m Marisol. I’ve helped raise my two younger siblings and have worked at a church for the past year, caring for multiple children at a time, ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years, including many children on the spectrum. I’ve also volunteered at the Oakland Zoo’s summer camp where I helped supervise groups of 20+ children during tours and lessons. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish)! I’m an avid sports fan and athlete, participating in both boxing and flag football. I truly enjoy working with children and can guarantee that I will always do my very best to care for your child. I’m very hands-on and love engaging with kids, whether it’s sitting on the ground for tummy time or running around playing tag. I would love to learn more about your child’s unique personality and specific needs so I can support them in the best way possible. Feel free to ask any questions!!
“Marisol was great! She was very punctual and actually got here a few mins early both times. She was sweet, caring and engaging with our son, and our son absolutely loved her!”
Hi there, I’m Juliana. I have experience taking care of kids and pets. I’m fluent in Spanish and English. I like outdoors activities, going on hikes, to the pool, to the park but I’m also good at finding fun things to do indoors. Let me know if you have any questions, I can’t wait to meet you.
Hiya!!!! My name is Ashé (Cyrus) 🤓👋🏾 I’m a calm caregiver with 2+ years of childcare experience with kiddos aged 3–14. I am certified in CPR + First Aid training for children, infants, and adults, Mandated Reporter certified, Registered Behavior Technician, and Physical Safety certified. I’ve got a background in theater so I love jumping into play! Making up stories, going with the flow, matching high energy, or calmly reading are all facets of the environments I like to create. My approach to childcare is compassion-based and neurodiversity-informed and I seek to ensure all kids under my care feel safe, understood, and engaged! Hope to talk soon and please let me know if there are any questions I could answer! 😁

"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!"
