Hi, I'm Cat! I work in after-school child care and I am highly energetic and passionate about working with kids. When working with children, I am great at having a balance between discipline and being gentle and kind. I lead with empathy and strive to understand what your child is feeling instead of reacting. I believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings even though they may not know how to express them. I love playing games, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and off their screens! I am also a great cook and love to make healthy snacks or meals that children will enjoy. Having my own younger siblings makes me a great candidate to take care of others because I always think about how I would want my own family to be treated. I will always treat others with care and respect.
Hi, my name is Hashi! I am a recent UCLA graduate currently working in youth development in San Francisco. I am looking for part time babysitting jobs. I love babysitting and working with children of all ages. I have worked as an academic counselor for high school students, have worked with kids ages 4-12 as a swim instructor and have also baby sat children of all ages throughout my high school years. I am able to drive children anywhere needed, work on arts and crafts (I have lots of beads and love working with children on making jewelry), and able to tutor in all subjects up to high school level. I can also cook, clean, run errands, and other household help needed. Happy to feed pets or walk dogs as well. Also hope to pet or house sit.
I’m a nanny with 17 years of experience here and in London with kids all ages and I have great references. I’m currently working for a family for 6 years taking care of their 2 kids since they were babies, but now they both are at school and I have mornings to 1pm free.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
