Hello! My name is Paula (children call me Lala/Yaga) and I’m a fun and caring 30-year-old with over 10 years of experience working with children. Throughout the years, I’ve worked as an au pair, live-in nanny, full-time nanny, co-teacher at a Reggio Emilia inspired school in Brazil, and most recently as a teacher at a nonprofit organization supporting families at risk and children with diverse medical needs. I also spent four years as a family consultant/caregiver for an amazing family in San Francisco, supporting them through infancy and toddlerhood while helping create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I’m currently a master’s student at SF State for Early Childhood Education with concentration in Special Needs. Caring for children has always been my passion. I love seeing their excitement as they learn something new and the way they view the world with such imagination. I’m proactive, responsible, and have wonderful references from my past positions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love the chance to share my experience and work with your family! Warmly, Paula
“I can't recommend Paula enough! Her background in Early Childhood Education truly makes her exceptional. She isn't just a caregiver—she's an active teacher who cares both about the child and the family as a whole. She brings so much intentionality to our days. She plans fun, age-appropriate activities that make learning feel natural. Her knowledge of child development is clear in how well our child has developed into a thoughtful and curious young man. She's calm, professional, and I completely trust her. I also consider her language skills with Spanish and Portuguese to be an huge plus. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as a partner!”
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!”
Hello! My name is Ingrid, and I am currently a Medical Assistant as well as a student. I am offering part-time childcare services for infants and toddlers. I bring several years of hands-on experience caring for both children and seniors. Through my past work with IHSS & babysitting. I have provided compassionate support to elderly clients, and I have also spent years caring for children, including my nieces and nephews, whom I absolutely adore. These experiences have helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for helping others. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, light meal preparation, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive space for every child in my care. Please note that I am allergic to cats; however, I am more than happy to work with families who have dogs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring childcare.
“Ingrid was great with our 16 month old. She was patient and observant with him, and he took to her right away. She always asked questions and made sure we were comfortable with what she was doing, and was a good communicator throughout. Despite working with us for the first time, her time with us went by really smoothly and she was very adaptable. ”
Hi! My name is Neidy Lopez, but everyone calls me Sucely, you’re welcome to call me whichever you feel most comfortable with. I’m 23 years old and bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. This is my first time using this app. I have over five years of babysitting experience working with a private family, which is why I don’t have reviews here yet but I bring reliable hands on experience and strong references upon request. I’m excited to connect with new families and provide the same loving and reliable care. I have completed high school, took a child development class on CCSF, and hold a CPR, First Aid and babysitting certification from Redcross. I have experience providing childcare care, I’m known for being patient, responsible, and attentive. I’m very flexible and adaptable, and I feel comfortable working in different environments and with diverse family needs.

I would love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can rely on.
“I loudly recommend Neidy (Sucely) as a babysitter and caregiver. She has been an incredible part of our family for the past five years, helping us raise our son from the time he was a newborn. Neidy is loving, responsible, patient, and truly invested in a child’s development. Thanks to her care and dedication, our son has grown into a happy, confident child and even speaks some Spanish. Neidy is no longer working with us only because we are moving out of state, but she will always be part of our family. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her.”

"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!"
