I recently graduated from CU Boulder with a degree in Business Marketing and moved to San Francisco. I'm excited to meet families in the area who could use some extra help with childcare, pets, or around the house. I'm a very organized and hands-on person — I love staying busy, planning fun activities and keeping things running smoothly. I enjoy cooking, baking, crafts and anything creative! I'm also always happy to help with light chores or meal prep if needed. Childcare Experience: - Worked at a local country club’s childcare center from July 2019–March 2020, and again the following summer. I cared for kids from 3 months to 12 years old, planned games and crafts, and got to know many families well. - Babysat regularly throughout high school for children ages 6 months to 13 years, gaining experience with a wide range of ages, routines, and personalities. - Since graduating, I’ve worked with several families caring for infants (around 4 months to 1 year), which has given me even more hands-on experience with feeding, naps, and early development. - Comfortable helping with homework (especially math) and school projects. - Happy to drive kids to activities or school if needed. Pet Care: - I’m an animal lover and have experience pet sitting with both dogs and cats. I’m happy to feed, walk, or just hang out and give them some extra love and attention! If you’re looking for someone responsible, organized, and great with kids and pets, I’d love to chat! I’m happy to help as a regular babysitter, occasional sitter, or even assist with house sitting and other household needs.
“Emma was great! Punctual, very sweet with our son, and super responsive. Will definitely book again!”
I'm an enthusiastic, experienced caregiver who loves to play games / go outside with the children, as well as help them with arts and crafts, homework or any other academic or creative endeavors! I consistently babysat for 4 different families in Marin from 2[removed], only stopping because I got a full time job on the east coast in 2019 after graduating from Boston University. I regularly babysat for the Zirkle family, who had two children (aged 6 and 8), the Violet family who had 3 children (4, 7 and 10), the Smith family who had twins (3), and the Wilson family with one son (3). I also helped with two infants for two months (4-6 months old). For all of these families I would cook meals, read stories and play games, assist with homework, change diapers, and manage all aspects of a dinner / feeding and nighttime routine. I also cared for all pets owned by the families (both dogs and cats), walking them and feeding them as well. I am also comfortable assisting with late night and overnight stays!
“Isabella was a very sweet sitter! Our children were both napping most of the time but upon arrival she made quick friends with our daughter who is normally shy around sitters. Isabella was also very attentive to our 6 month old son and gave him his bottle and played with him. She also helped us with some light household chores. She did a terrific job and we look forward to working with her again! ”
Hello, My name is Alec. I am a student at the University of Michigan home for the summer. I would love to help your family with babysitting, housesitting, errand help, cooking, and more. I have my own vehicle and have experience with children Pre-K through Middle School. I love playing sports, doing crafts, playing games, and being outside. I look forward to getting a chance to meet you soon.
Hi! My name is Pamela, I’m from Brazil and currently living in the U.S. I’ve been working with children since I was 14, taking care of kids of different ages. I usually do activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading time, and helping with homework. I’m CPR certified, responsible, caring, and always make sure children feel safe, loved, and happy.
Hi! My name is Jess. I'm 31 years old and love working with kids. My mom was a kindergarten teacher growing up, so I was always a booked babysitter and carried on to be a part-time nanny to multiple families through my 20s. I've been working in tech as a UX designer in SF for the past 6+ years (Georgia Tech graduate in 2017), but I was part of a recent lay-off, so I'm looking for some part-time babysitting or nannying again! I live in North Beach and have a flexible schedule! Comfortable with multiple kids and all genders. Being around kids energizes me - I love being part of their world. I love animals, music, fashion, and travel!

"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."
