Having been raised by a family of teachers, and after many years of childcare experience, I always place wonder, safety, and fun at the center of my approach as a caretaker. I truly enjoy finding ways to engage kiddos' curiosity and brilliance, and would love getting to do so in a way that would meet your family's own needs. Whether your little ones need someone to build forts, go on outdoor adventures, read stories, or simply ease them into a morning or bedtime routine, I would love to connect and discuss how I might support both your schedule and the growth of your child(ren).
I am a student at the university of San Francisco, studying international studies and art history! I love working with kids and have been babysitting for years. Currently, I work part time at the San Francisco Day School as an afterschool teacher. I spent a year working as an au pair in Germany and nannied 4 kids, ages 1-9. I also used to work as a camp counselor at a sleep away camp for girls aged 8-13. I'd love to chat about my availability and work something out!
Hi! As an oldest child, I've said that I've been in childcare since I was 5 years old. More formally, I've been a sitter/nanny in varying capacities since I was 13 years old. I've worked with families with ages 4 months - 10 years old so I have experience with everything from tummy time to tutoring. Even as I joined the work force after college, I still was the go-to sitter for several families. Now, I have recently moved to the Bay and miss the joy of working with kids so am looking for part-time opportunities to connect with and support families in the area.
Hello, Families! I hope you’re well. My name is Zuziwe ( you can call me Zoozie/Zuh). I live at the Inner Richmond, Just across Golden Gate Park. I’m currently a full time Nanny of 3 kiddos ages 6, 5 & 2yrs. I’ve taken care of a 3months up to 2yrs before. I’m looking for babysitting on weekends, late afternoons & dates nights. Given the opportunity, I’d love to assist you with your Little ones! I love & enjoy caring for the little ones, I believe in engaging them in activities that stimulate their development mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m experienced in making nutritious meals for babies(purée) & kids/toddlers( I understand balanced nutrition). A little insight, I’m a bubbly, energetic, calm & clean girl in her late twenties. I believe in keeping a clean environment around me, I’m dedicated and responsible. I’d love to connect & see if we can be a match!😊 Thank you for your time.
Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework. Some of my strengths are patience, creativity, and good organization skills. I am also fluent in both English and Thai. I am looking for a part time position, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!

"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!!"
