Booked by 4 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi! I am a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco and have been a nanny in the city for over a year now. I have ~10 years of babysitting experience, I now work for a few families, and they have recommended me to others on numerous occasions. I truly believe children are our future and want to foster a fun but safe space for them. I try to make time for fun, including indoor and outdoor activities, but try to incorporate time for reading or more education based games. Respecting kids’ autonomy is also really important to me, letting them speak and advocate for themselves but still expecting respect and keeping on schedule.

“Kaylen was fantastic with our 18 month old son. She was on time and quickly learned his afternoon and dinner routine. We'd definitely have her back to look after our kids.”

Booked by 5 families in San Bruno, CA

As the second oldest of seven children, I have spent most of my life caring for kids. From ages 17 to 19, I was the sole caregiver for my two youngest siblings, then ages 0 to 4, due to an illness in the family. I started babysitting at a young age and quickly built a reputation for being especially good with young children. I went on to work in K-12 summer camps for four summers, then spent two years as a program leader in a K-8 public school afterschool program. During my thirteen years as a flight attendant, I completed annual first aid training, including infant and child CPR and Heimlich maneuver certification. I live in Cole Valley with my small, perfect dog Lola and my partner, who works at a tech start up. I'm reliable, responsible, and very flexible with scheduling. I hold an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and am currently transitioning into education and social impact work. I stay active in the community through food insecurity and youth literacy volunteer programs, as an avid reader, I love to spread my love of books to the next generation! I am a deeply curious and empathic person who believes in meeting someone where they are at and always listening first. I have pets my entire adult life and am also happy to pet sit or take your furry friend for a walk.

“Kayla was wonderful with our 12 month old!”

Booked by 1 family in San Bruno, CA

Hi, my name is Kelly , I’m 29 years old and I’m a responsible, caring, and trustworthy person. I have over a year of experience taking care of children: I worked as an au pair for one year, living with a host family and actively supporting the children’s development and daily routines. After that, I’ve been working as a part-time nanny. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and taking care of them. I’m also happy to help keep their things organized, do their laundry, and assist with light household tasks related to the children. I speak both English and Spanish, have had a driver’s license for two years, and I’m currently studying Marketing and Advertising virtually, which gives me a flexible schedule. I love creating a safe and positive environment for kids, encouraging their creativity, and supporting them as they grow with care and respect. I’d be happy to support your family and get to know your little ones!

Galilea $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I recently graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and am settling into a new chapter in San Francisco. I’m excited to meet new families and help out wherever I can! I’m the oldest of three siblings, so I’ve grown up being responsible, helping out, and looking after others. I enjoy spending time with kids and would love to help families with babysitting, keeping kids entertained, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to help with activities, crafts, reading, and keeping little ones busy! In my free time, I enjoy baking, arts and crafts, reading, running, and hiking. I’ve also had dogs my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of animals, so I’m comfortable around family pets, too. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and respectful of each family’s routines. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and lend a helping hand!

"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!"
