Hi! My name is Neidy Lopez, but everyone calls me Sucely, you’re welcome to call me whichever you feel most comfortable with. I’m 23 years old and bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. This is my first time using this app. I have over five years of babysitting experience working with a private family, which is why I don’t have reviews here yet but I bring reliable hands on experience and strong references upon request. I’m excited to connect with new families and provide the same loving and reliable care. I have completed high school, took a child development class on CCSF, and hold a CPR, First Aid and babysitting certification from Redcross. I have experience providing childcare care, I’m known for being patient, responsible, and attentive. I’m very flexible and adaptable, and I feel comfortable working in different environments and with diverse family needs. I enjoy helping with daily routines, playtime, and creating a safe, nurturing space. I value trust, communication, and kindness, and I take pride in providing dependable care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and be someone you can rely on.
“I loudly recommend Neidy (Sucely) as a babysitter and caregiver. She has been an incredible part of our family for the past five years, helping us raise our son from the time he was a newborn. Neidy is loving, responsible, patient, and truly invested in a child’s development. Thanks to her care and dedication, our son has grown into a happy, confident child and even speaks some Spanish. Neidy is no longer working with us only because we are moving out of state, but she will always be part of our family. Any family would be extremely lucky to have her.”
Hello! My name is Moya and I’m a sophomore in college. I’ve loved caring for kids from ages 2-12 for a couple years now but have been working with elementary aged kids for much longer. My responsibilities have included cooking, cleaning, and light housework while as well as homework help, crafts, and all sorts of imaginative and engaging play. I love dogs and cats alike, and even have a big dog of my own, so caring for your pet as well as your child will be no problem at all. Red Cross First Aid
“Moya babysits our three kids (ages 5, 10 and 12) She’s very responsive and professional when scheduling, reliable, and is eager to jump on and help with whatever is needed. She has a calm and warm presence that my kids enjoy and I trust Moya’s judgment. She’s a great sitter!”
Hi. I'm Mica, I’m 27 yo and I'm from Argentina. Currently in Outer Richmond, SF. I’m a full time nanny with an amazing family at outer sunset (one year old baby) and previously with a family from Tiburon (5, 3 and 1 years old siblings) At the moment I’m looking for some extra jobs like date nights or weekends positions at the moment. Open to evening part time roles. Back in Argentina, I was a child’s psychology student. I loved this experience and encouraged me to keep working with kids! Through this years I had the opportunity to work with different families which gave me a lot of experience when it comes to babies and kids. I had the pleasure to work with different families situations. Teen angers, single childs, twins and 4 siblings at the same time! I consider myself full of love, energy, ideas and patience. I am a really easy-going, sociable and communicative.
“She was amazing, both boys had so much fun with her. She was very punctual and friendly. I’m sure my boys would be excited to play with her again.”
Hi! My name is Ingrid, and I currently work in healthcare. In my free time, I enjoy helping families by providing dependable and caring childcare. I have several years of experience caring for children, including my nieces and nephews, whom I absolutely adore! I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for children. I can also help with school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing light meals, and keeping things tidy. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and help care for your little ones!
“Ingrid was great with our 16 month old. She was patient and observant with him, and he took to her right away. She always asked questions and made sure we were comfortable with what she was doing, and was a good communicator throughout. Despite working with us for the first time, her time with us went by really smoothly and she was very adaptable. ”
Hi! I’m Gloria, I’m currently in school studying to become a Medical Assistant, and I’m offering reliable childcare and household support. I’ve been babysitting for about six years. I started by caring for my nephews and soon began helping other families with babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I love spending time with children playing, helping with homework, reading, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I’m also comfortable with pets and can easily follow any family rules or routines. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, and simple meal prep as part of my care. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and very easygoing. I truly enjoy helping households run smoothly and giving kids a positive, caring environment. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter for our infant! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient, always making sure our little one felt safe, happy, and loved. From gentle snuggles to playful moments that brought out the biggest smiles, she made every minute fun while still being so responsible. It was such a relief knowing our baby was in such capable and warm hands—and now our kiddo can’t wait to see her again. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her again in a heartbeat!”
