Find an emergency babysitter in San Francisco, CA

Hi there! I’m Marlen — I grew up playing soccer and now coach youth teams, so I have a lot of experience working with kids and keeping them engaged and active. As the oldest of four siblings, I helped a lot with taking care of my siblings, and I’ve also done childcare before. I know how to keep little ones safe, entertained, and on track with their routines. In my day job I manage complex scheduling and operations for a healthcare organization, so I’m organized, reliable, and dependable. Outside of work, I love music, travel, and staying active. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Hi! My name is Gabriela, and I’ve been working with children for over 9 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I currently care for twin boys whom I’ve been with since they were 7 months old, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and reach new milestones. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn. I enjoy reading books, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, educational activities, and helping with homework. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and committed to following each family’s routines and parenting style. I’m also happy to prepare healthy meals and snacks, help with children’s laundry, keep play areas tidy, and assist with light household tasks related to the children. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing dependable, loving, and attentive care. I look forward to building lasting relationships with families and helping children learn, grow, and have fun every day.

I'm a PhD student and certified yoga teacher based in San Francisco, currently transitioning from a tech career into philosophy of mind. I teach restorative and gentle yoga classes and bring the same calm, attentive presence to childcare. I have several years of experience caring for infants and children ages 3–7. I'm comfortable with bedtime routines, meals and structured play. I also absolutely love simple crafts, baking, and creative activities with kids. I have my own car and am available for evening babysitting and last-minute bookings.

My name is Michael! I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who spends a lot of time working with kids, loves animals, and lives in the Outer Sunset! As a therapist, I work with kids of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism and ADHD. I am currently looking to make some extra money while I pursue licensure as a therapist and would love to support my community by helping them care for the kids and pets they love! In my free time, I love to read, go on runs, play video games, and spend time with my girlfriend and our dog, Betty. I like to have fun and keep things light. I would be happy to help you with babysitting, pet-sitting, dog-walking, house-cleaning, whatever!

Hi! My name is Lawson and I am a senior at the Urban School of San Francisco. I am the oldest of three kids, including a brother 10 years younger than me whom I regularly take care of, so I have been around kids my whole life. I have also babysat and worked as a camp counselor plenty of times throughout my life. I am no stranger to driving, entertaining, coaching, and putting kids to bed. I am a very active person and am more than willing to play sports and spend energy with kids. I can also help with homework and tutoring, especially in math and science. I can cook and clean as well as drive to run errands or to take kids to and from their activities. I love cats and dogs and have a cat of my own. I can feed, walk and play with pets, though I am slightly allergic and less comfortable with pets that shed a lot.
