Hello Families! A little about me is that I grew up taking care of all of my 4 siblings make sure they were fed and taken care of while also making sure the house is being taken care of too, I learned that I loved to clean. When I turned 18 I applied for Americorps and that is where I got to work with kids in preschool and school age kids and I even worked with middle school kids as well! And that is where I worked for about three years gaining more experience everyday working with all types of different kids!

Hi! My name is Mallorie and I am a mother to one 14 month old. I am currently going to college for Occupational Therapy with a focus in Pediatrics. I have always had a passion for working with kids and would love to provide your family with safe and loving childcare! I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have experience working with children 0-12 year olds. I would be happy to provide references if you ask. I would love to babysit in my home and can do pickups/dropoffs. I can do last minute drop ins depending on the situation. If I am caring for your child in my home I am open to installing in home cameras that you will have access to while they are with me. I will always have fun activities planned and can provide meals+snacks unless you want to provide your own. I love all animals and have two cats and a dog of my own.

Hi SF Families! ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒ‰โœจ New to the app but not to child care! I have references available :) Iโ€™m a beach lover, student, nature enthusiast, 25-year-old nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for kids of all ages and abilities. Iโ€™m currently studying psychology with a minor in counseling and plan to attend graduate school here in the Bay Area. My long-term goal is to become a Child Life Specialist or Pediatric Psychologist. Supporting kids through their growth isnโ€™t just work for me, itโ€™s truly my calling. Iโ€™ve worked closely with autistic children as a nanny, B.C.A, and a para-educator with SFUSD, and I deeply value meeting each child exactly where they are. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿผ My background in psychology, love of neuroscience, training in Waldorf education and yoga training, all shape the way I show up: grounded, playful, attuned, and developmentally aware. I focus a lot on emotional regulation, connection, creativity, and building confidence. ๐Ÿง ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’Ÿ Iโ€™ve cared for everything from a bustling household of six kids to providing steady overnight support for a nurse mom working long shifts. Iโ€™m adaptable and calm under pressure, and I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of busy family life. Iโ€™ve also worked private events, helping create safe and fun spaces for little ones while parents can relax or focus! ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ๐Ÿงบ๐ŸŒบ Before fully diving into childcare, I worked for a catering company, music venue, and restaurants, so Iโ€™m very comfortable with meal prep, packing lunches, prepping healthy snacks, and helping families stay organized around food and daily tasks like laundry or organizing. ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ Iโ€™m also comfortable with basic medication administration and toileting support. โ›‘๏ธ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿ™ˆ I love taking kids outside โ€” beach days, park hangs, nature walks, or city adventures. Fresh air and movement are big in my care style. I incorporate music, storytelling, and creative play often. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒป๐ŸŽผ I also speak ASL and light Spanish. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ I am certified in CPR as well. ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฉบ If youโ€™re looking for someone warm, intuitive, outdoorsy, and deeply invested in your childโ€™s well-being, Iโ€™d love to connect. ๐Ÿค open to setting up zoom meetings or interviews any time. Thank you!

โ€œSierra arrived 10 minutes early, took my kids to play outside and kept them safe on a city excursion to the local hardware store. The kids were already asking if sheโ€™d come back. Highly recommended! โ€

Booked by 2 families in Pala, CA

I started babysitting when I was 12 and have continued to throughout my life. Iโ€™m a 50 year old mother of two boys, 22 and 20 and we had a dog and multiple cats along the way. I worked at gym daycares when the kids were little as well as traded babysitting with friends with kids. I myself was raised with a younger sister and many animals including a pony, dogs, cats, fish, birds, a bunny, turtles and rats. I spent my summers at our families ranch in Northern California which has horses, cows, dogs, cats, peacocks, turkeys and pheasants. All in all Iโ€™ve had the joy of enjoying and taking care of many children and animals through the years and look forward to doing the same with yours.

โ€œCourtney was so incredible with our 1.5 and 3.5 year olds. They loved playing with her and she was so helpful feeding them dinner and putting them to bed. We would love to have her again!โ€

"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!"
