Hi, my name is Lisa and I am offering child. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified by the American Red Cross as of Nov 2025, and up to date on flu & Covid vaccines. I’m a dog mom to Callie (featured in my photo) and am a natural care taker. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old and have taken care of infants, toddlers, small children and pre-teens. I enjoy spending time with my friends and their children. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors (hiking, tennis etc), being active (yoga, Pilates), trying new restaurants with friends, traveling, walks with my dog, art, volunteering (tutoring middle school children). * Please note, I’ve returned to families houses for babysitting but via text, so it’s not recorded on the app that I’ve had returning visits. **I accept cash and venmo, but cannot accept credit cards. Childhood development is an area that’s always interested me as I helped care for my sister (who was born when I was 13), and I am considering getting my masters in the field to ultimately make a career transition. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
“Lisa was very reliable & kind!”
TrustLine & CPR Certified | Evenings & Weekends Available 🤍 About Me Hi families! I’m Ale, a bilingual professional nanny with over 13 years of hands-on childcare experience and a deep passion for supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. I currently work full-time as a nanny in Pacific Heights, caring for a precious baby, and I’m now available for part-time care after 5:00 pm on weekdays and flexible weekends. My childcare journey began as an au pair in San Francisco, and since then I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I hold a degree in Philosophy and Literature, am CPR certified, TrustLine registered, and a Nanny Pro certified caregiver. I’m also a swim instructor for young children and love incorporating movement, creativity, outdoor play, and gentle structure into our time together. On weekends, I collaborate with TIFFAN.org, where I teach the in-person Nanny Pro course, mentoring other nannies on professional childcare, communication with families, and respectful, heart-centered caregiving. This role reflects my commitment to high standards, trust, and professionalism in childcare. I believe in nurturing independent, curious, and emotionally secure children. Whether it’s story time, imaginative play, park adventures, or calm evening routines, I bring warmth, reliability, and intention to every family I work with. Availability • Weekdays: After 5:00 pm • Weekends: Flexible • Location: San Francisco (Pacific Heights, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, nearby areas) I’m happy to provide excellent references and my resume upon request. For your peace of mind, I’m fully vaccinated (Tdap, MMR, COVID-19) and have up-to-date TB clearance. If you’re looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced nanny for evenings or weekends, I’d love to connect. Warmly, Ale 🤍 Please read my reviews! :)
“Alejandra was great! She arrived right on time and took great care of our 3yo son River, including getting him to bed, which is notoriously difficult. I would definitely recommend Alejandra!”
Hello there! I’ve been working as a teacher for children for the past 10 years or so, and I’ve worked as a babysitter/nanny several times as well. I love at home activities like arts & crafts, cooking, or reading/writing, but I also enjoy field trips away from home to get kids running around. I’ve worked with all kinds of kids and students so I’m pretty adaptable to most settings. I’ve worked abroad in the past as well , so I have many cultural experiences to share. 广东话没事 国语还可以 日本語も少し話せます I have a bit of a fur allergy though, so unfortunately I’m not great with pets. Mainly looking for part time work. Thanks so much for your consideration!
“Michelle was great! She quickly got Gia to calm down and read her books before bedtime. Will happily hire again!”
Hey there - I’m Jasmine! I have loved working with children for as long as I can remember and have worked with many families as a babysitter and part-time nanny over the past 10 years. I have experience with all age groups from newborns to teens, but have primarily worked with babies and toddlers. I am experienced with bottle feeding, diaper changes, bathing children, feeding solids, and putting children down for nap/bedtime. I strive to provide a fun, engaging, safe and developmentally appropriate environment for your children to thrive in! A little more about me! I’m originally from Los Angeles and have called San Francisco home for almost a decade after initially moving here to get my BA in Communication from USF. I previously worked in corporate HR. In my free time, I enjoy: reading, going to the movies, baking bread, building legos and cuddling with my two kitties, Junie & Louis! I am currently open to part-time (mornings only) and/or occasional jobs. If you have any questions for me please don’t hesitate to reach out to set up an introductory call!
Hi! I’m Eva, a lifelong childcare enthusiast with just shy of 20 years experience supporting families and kids of all ages, from newborns to tweens. I have extensive newborn/infant experience and am well versed in all things diapers, bottles, swaddles, and infant sleep! I often support twins and triplets, and families with 3+ young children. I’ve been a pediatric play based therapy provider for 13 years and I work full-time as a behavior analyst with children ages one to six, helping them build independence through silliness, play, routine, and connection! Whether it's navigating toddler play or supporting school-age routines, I aim to bring a warm, joyful, and dependable presence to every family I work with. Here’s a quick snapshot of my nanny experience in addition to hundreds of evening and weekend babysitting jobs for many families: Triplet Caregiver (Part-Time (20 hrs a week) from 3 months to 3 years): Provided care M-F, from 9 AM to 1 PM including meals, naps, play, outings, and household help. Continued to support the family for years through evening and weekend care after the kids began pre-school. Full-Time Nanny (40 hrs/week): Supported two sisters (ages 1.5 and 3) with daily routines, drop-off/pickup, meals, outings, playtime and household tasks becoming an extension of their family. Current Weekly Care: Evening/weekend sitter for two sweet brothers (ages 2 and 4), managing everything from active play to community adventures to bedtime routines. My approach is positive, patient, and play-based and I will aim to adapt to your family’s values and routines while creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for your child (Whether we’re exploring the outdoors, making up silly stories, or winding down for bedtime).

"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!"
