Hi, my name is Tammy! I'm a recent college grad from USC who just finished serving as an AmeriCorps and am currently applying to medical school. I'm looking to pick up some work while figuring out my next steps. I am great with people of all ages and backgrounds (my AmeriCorps role involved clinical care for adults and seniors, but I used to volunteer as a tutor for K-12 kids) and am an easygoing, chill person who is responsible and has Basic Life Support (BLS) training, which includes CPR. I am happy to watch older kids (5+), run household errands and help out with household chores. I'm also happy to catsit. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi! I’m Rosi, I went to beauty school and currently I’m working as a part time esthetician. I offer child care, senior care, pet care and household services! I love to keep an organized space so I’m happy to do any household chores including cooking, cleaning, tidying up and running any errands :) My experiences with children include having watched over my niece and nephews (ages 8mo - 1yr) and helping out at summer camps (ages 5 - 12yrs). I have a dog of my own and have previously worked on another pet caregiver app! (I also love cats!)
I have over 15 years of experience in education and currently work as a Middle School Learning Specialist at a private school on the Peninsula. For the past 5 years, I’ve supported students with homework, executive functioning, and academic skills—so I’m just as comfortable helping with tutoring and organization as I am with everyday caregiving. I’ve also been a devoted dog owner and caregiver for more than 20 years. Pets have always been part of my life, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, and keeping them loved and cared for. Families describe me as reliable, warm, and organized. I bring patience, structure, and genuine care to everything I do—whether that’s homework help, keeping kids engaged, or making sure pets feel happy and safe.
Hi, my name is Hashi! I am a recent UCLA graduate currently working in youth development in San Francisco. I am looking for part time babysitting jobs. I love babysitting and working with children of all ages. I have worked as an academic counselor for high school students, have worked with kids ages 4-12 as a swim instructor and have also baby sat children of all ages throughout my high school years. I am able to drive children anywhere needed, work on arts and crafts (I have lots of beads and love working with children on making jewelry), and able to tutor in all subjects up to high school level. I can also cook, clean, run errands, and other household help needed. Happy to feed pets or walk dogs as well. Also hope to pet or house sit.
Hi! My name is Jupleen and I'm a recent grad from Georgetown where I studied International Affairs. I have previous experience babysitting mostly elementary school age kids and older. I have also been an overnight camp counselor for a few summers where I was in charge of kids aged 7-12. I love being active and doing creative activities with kids. I sometimes bring my Nintendo switch and kids love to play Just Dance! Depending on the age, I also love to bake with kids, and I am also open to help with tutoring, homework, or cooking. I played cello and tennis up until high school if that is of interest as well!

"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!!"
