Hi! My name is Kylie and am 24 years old! I have graduated from Indiana University in May of 2025 with my bachelors in Psychology! I am currently undergoing an online accelerated nursing program through University of Indianapolis! I am now in my senior year and am absolutely loving it! I also have hopes to become a PICU or NICU nurse in the future! I am currently a tech on an adult Med-Surg Unit so I am trained in CPR and BLS for all ages! I have babysat for many years, starting in 8th grade all the way into my freshman year of college, which was when my kiddos outgrew me:) I have babysat kids of all ages, starting with the newborn stage and even kids as old as 14! I absolutely love working with children in my free time! I look forward to connecting with you and meeting your babies!!
“Kylie was punctual and great with communication. My two grade school daughters had a fun night with her! Highly recommend!”
Hello families! My name is Galen and I’m looking forward to supporting your family’s child and other care needs. I’m a therapist by training and by day with a masters degree in social work, but I’m looking to build community and supplement my income by caring for children on nights and weekends. I have 15+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages as well as tutoring, pet care, cooking, and light housework. I took a few years away from this app to focus on grad school, but I’m excited to get back to childcare. I maintain CPR certification through work and am up-to-date on all vaccines. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Kind, knowledgeable, handled our vivacious 8.5 month old with ease. Followed our instructions but used good judgement when the plan needed some adaptation. Would definitely hire again!”
I’m Gabi and am currently an Associate Teacher for a 2nd grade class. Previously, I worked as a Teacher Assistant for Pre-K classes. I am CPR and First Aid certified. Additionally, I have experience babysitting kids as young as infants to toddlers. I would love to break into the mold and connect with families. I have always had a love for helping children from a young age. As a teacher, I have loved getting to know my students and creating bonds with them. I'm looking forward to connecting with families in which I can add my bright energy, eagerness to learn, compassion, and empathy.
Hello, I'm Mallu! I have +9 years of childcare experience, having cared for kids aged 2 months to 14 years. My expertise covers childcare, household management, and pet care. Over the past years, I've worked as a full-time caregiver for several families in the Bay area. Additionally, I've provided babysitting services to many families with children of different ages. During my educational journey, I also took child development classes, which added an extra layer of understanding to my practical experience. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about helping children grow, achieve milestones, and develop important skills. Whether it's organizing outdoor activities or engaging in indoor play, I take joy in providing engaging experiences for children of all ages. Beyond childcare, I like cooking, staying active through exercise, and immersing myself in good reads. If you're seeking an extra hand to make things easier, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering me. Mallu
“Mallu was absolutely wonderful. Our ~2 year old son took to her very quickly, and we felt lucky to have her help!”
Hi! My name is Eva, and I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a B.S. in Psychology and just moved to San Francisco. I’ve been caring for younger kids my whole life and have years of babysitting experience with toddlers and school-age children. I’m happy to help with school pick-ups and drop-offs, homework support, crafts, and outdoor play. I can also cook kid-friendly meals, tidy play areas, and handle household cleaning. I love animals and am comfortable caring for pets, like cats and small dogs. Whether you’re looking for regular childcare or occasional date-night coverage, I am reliable and energetic and ready to help!

"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."
Theresa M., parent
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
