Hello! My name is Ingrid, and I am currently a Medical Assistant as well as a student. I am offering part-time childcare services for infants and toddlers. I bring several years of hands-on experience caring for both children and seniors. Through my past work with IHSS & babysitting. I have provided compassionate support to elderly clients, and I have also spent years caring for children, including my nieces and nephews, whom I absolutely adore. These experiences have helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and a genuine love for helping others. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, light meal preparation, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive space for every child in my care. Please note that I am allergic to cats; however, I am more than happy to work with families who have dogs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, caring childcare.
“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 Families, I graduated from nursing school in my home country and worked as a nurse for 2 years, caring for critically ill patients, also actively holding a CA RN license. I now bring the same compassion and dedication to my work as a childcare provider. Being a childcare provider, I love helping children reach important milestones. With a calm, friendly demeanor, I create a welcoming environment where kids can thrive. I have more than 3 years of experience caring for 1-2 children at a time and I am certified in First Aid and CPR to ensure their safety. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and board games with kids, encouraging both physical and mental development. I can also assist with light cooking, meal preparation, housekeeping, and supervise swimming if needed. Thank you for considering my application! Please feel free to contact me, I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!
“Wise was very sweet and friendly. Our daughter started playing with her right away, and couldn’t stop smiling. She was also punctual, asked a lot of important questions and followed our instructions. We highly recommend her! ”
Hi! I’m a nurse based in San Francisco with 14+ years of babysitting and nannying experience. I currently work at a pediatric urgent care on the weekends. I’m looking for local families who may need occasional help for date nights, full Time/part time, weekends, or just a few hours to recharge! I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers and have been with my current family since their twins were just 3 months old (they’re now three!). I’m also happy to assist with dog-sitting, light organizing, and transportation to activities like sports practices, tutoring sessions, or even trips to the zoo! I’ve also assisted in supervising during birthday parties (ie. Extra set of eyes on the pool, and surroundings) ad well as events to keep the children entertained while still being in the vicinity of parents. I have my own reliable car for transportation needs. I am CPR-certified (infant, child, and adult), First Aid certified, PALS and ACLS certified, and also trained as a doula. I have one year of experience working in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), so I’m very comfortable handling a range of childcare needs with a calm, safety-first approach. My schedule varies slightly with my current roles, so flexibility (with notice) is important. I love building lasting relationships with families and would be happy to share my availability, experience, and references upon request. The best way to connect with me is by phone, as that’s where I communicate and rebooking with all my families. Looking forward to hearing from you! ** I typically communicate through the app but respond better via text as a lot of notifications get missed and easier to rebook** Thank You, Saoirse
