Hi, My name is Guadalupe! I enjoy babysitting and have experience taking care of infants, toddlers, kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included getting kids ready for school, assisting with morning & night routines, reading books, crafting, baking and light house work. I have worked with 6-17 years old for the past 5 years through San Francisco local non-profits and after school programs. I have volunteered at various San Francisco Early Childhood Education Head-start programming for kids ages 3-5 years old for 4 years. I am a proud aunt to twin nieces ❤️ CPR trained and certified! I speak both Spanish and English and am able to practice these languages with your kid(s). A few strong traits that I hold are patience, active listening and energetic. I believe kids should have someone who is willing to understand their needs as well as guidance and have fun while being safe! Looking forward to assisting you in anyway possible. Thank you for your time!

“Wonderful with my kids. Always on time. Sings, plays, reads, and cleans up all while keeping up with our insane schedule to get out of the house every morning. Such a big help!!”

Booked by 5 families in San Bruno, CA

My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.

“Our daughter had a great time with Zazie!”

Booked by 1 family in San Bruno, CA

Hi families! My name is Thayane and I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids — including children with special needs such as autism and PDA. I’ve worked with several wonderful families, supporting children’s emotional and physical development with patience, kindness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve become confident in handling all aspects of child care: feeding, naps, diapering, soothing, playtime, bedtime routines, and helping children feel safe and loved. I also have extensive experience driving children to school, parks, playdates, and enrichment classes — always prioritizing safety and fun. I’m happy to assist with child-related chores, meal prep, and I’m also very comfortable with date nights and occasional evening care. I’m flexible, reliable, and families often describe me as calm, warm, respectful, and attentive to each child’s unique needs and personality. My experience working with children with special needs has made me especially patient and intuitive. I’m always focused on creating a nurturing, structured, and joyful environment where children can thrive. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

“I highly recommend Thayane! She has been caring for our now 10-month-old son for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier. Thayane is incredibly loving and fully engaged with him throughout the day. She creates age-appropriate activities and playtime, while also managing his meals and nap times with ease. Her dependability, kindness and attentiveness have made her a wonderful addition to our family, and we feel so lucky to have her in our care team!”

Hi! I’m Gloria, I’m currently in school studying to become a Medical Assistant, and I’m offering reliable childcare and household support. I’ve been babysitting for about six years. I started by caring for my nephews and soon began helping other families with babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I love spending time with children playing, helping with homework, reading, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I’m also comfortable with pets and can easily follow any family rules or routines. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, and simple meal prep as part of my care. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and very easygoing. I truly enjoy helping households run smoothly and giving kids a positive, caring environment. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter for our infant! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient, always making sure our little one felt safe, happy, and loved. From gentle snuggles to playful moments that brought out the biggest smiles, she made every minute fun while still being so responsible. It was such a relief knowing our baby was in such capable and warm hands—and now our kiddo can’t wait to see her again. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her again in a heartbeat!”

"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!"
