Hello, I'm Caley and I have lived in SF for a decade now! I used to babysit while I was younger and help volunteer at elementary school/library during my time off during summers in college. I'm reliable and work well with any range of child or dog breed. I work full time so looking for positions thats are evening or weekends only. I love to swim and happy to take kids to either the kiddie pool at the rec and park in the Mission or Hamilton. I also enjoy going the library and happy to walk to a close location with kids as well.
“Would recommend! Caley was communicative, warm, and our kids enjoyed her.”
Hello! My name is Corinne and I'm a student at CCSF studying to become a nurse. I've lived in San Francisco for three years and enjoy biking, hiking and knitting in my free time. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, in groups or individually. My responsibilities have included leading online schoolwork during the pandemic, and I'm comfortable tutoring and helping with homework. Outside of schoolwork, I enjoy outdoor activities, reading to children, and arts and crafts. I also have worked as a chef, and love to cook for families and teach children age-appropriate cooking tasks if they're interested! I'm CPR certified for infants, children, and adults and certified for Basic Life Support and First Aid. I'm happy to help with clean-up, errands, cooking, and other household tasks. I am also comfortable working with families with pets.
“Corinne was a dream to work with and our kids loved her! We’re still hearing stories a week later of all of the fun they had. Corinne made everything feel stress free and went with the flow, which was exactly what our family needed. Highly recommend! ”
Hello wonderful San Francisco Families, With over 20 years of experience working with children ranging in age 0-12, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical experience in early childhood development. I hold a formal education in teaching, which i have continuously applied throughout my time I support and nurture young learners. My professional journey includes roles as both a former au-pair and a full time nanny, where i developed strong, lasting relationship with families and provided attentive, individualized care for children. Throughout the years, I have been committed to helping families create supportive and enriching environments for their children to thrive. I am cpr/1st aid certified, fully vaccinated (dtab, covid, flu). I received my Masters Degree in HR management, but I have always had passion to coming back and working with little ones again. I hope you will consider my candidacy and let me help you with taking care of your little ones. Best, Mila
“Mila is the best and has a way with children where my daughter who truly does not warm up easily ran up to her after first meeting. She is loving and caring and just so grateful we found her! ”
I am patient and I love to spend my time with kids, I'm very sweet and funny, so I get along really well with them. I'm also creative when I teach. And last but not least, I am very independent, so I will adapt easily.
“From the very first day, Diana was punctual and reliable, always arriving on time. My kids adore them and often talk about the fun games they play together. Diana has a great way of keeping my children engaged with creative activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play. Diana is one of our best sitters, and we highly recommend 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!"
