Hey families! My name is Vanessa, I’m 20 years old and I’m a Spanish and English speaker. I’m currently a student at San Francisco State University, majoring in Child Development and Psychology. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 14 years old, starting with my younger cousins and my 5-year-old brother, who I helped look after while my parents worked. Making meals, putting them to bed etc. Besides that, I’ve also gained experience working at two daycares, and i have experience working as a teacher and supervisor at my church. I’m also employed as a Behavioral Technician for kids who have autism. Through all these experiences I realized how much I love helping kids learn, grow and feel supported. I really love and enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality playing games, doing creative activities, helping with homework, or simply listening to them and what makes them happy. My goal is to build trust and connection, so your kid feels safe, cared for, and understood when they’re with me. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a fun, nurturing environment for your kids!

I specialize in working with children ages 2 to 13, and I love bringing a bubbly, imaginative energy to everything I do. Whether it’s turning story time into an adventure, dancing around to music, or creating fun learning games, I make sure every moment is engaging, safe, and full of laughter. I’m CPR certified and also teach swim lessons, so safety and confidence are always top of mind. Families describe me as bubbly, creative, and reliable!

Hello! My name is Daisy and I offer child care and even pet care too. I am a recent college graduate living here in San Francisco, specifically in the Outer Sunset. I have been babysitting since I was sixteen years old, from babies less than one to eleven year olds. My responsibilities have included playing with the kids, reading, and light cooking and cleaning. I love keeping kids engaged such as playing in the park, playing games or reading books. I make sure to keep kids entertained, while maintaining a clean environment.

"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!"
