Hello! My name is Tiara and I am an upcoming freshman at the University of San Francisco. I offer child and pet care, as well as household services. I have a lot of family with young children so I have experience in watching infants, toddlers, and kids. I also have two dogs and a hamster of my own! I enjoy taking my dogs out; I have my driver's license, so I am able to drive them to go on beach and park adventures! My responsibilities at home include washing dishes, occasional grocery shopping, keeping my room organized, taking out the trash, making meals for myself, and tending to my dogs' needs.
Hi! I’m Abbie and I am in my junior year at San Francisco State University and I am majoring in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Elementary School Teaching and minoring in Special Education. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have worked at an after school day care (ages 5-12) for 2 years while I was in high school and at an early childhood education center (ages 2-3) while I am at school. I am also currently working at an after school program with students from TK to 8th grade. I have also babysat children of all ages numerous times since I was 14. I enjoy doing many activities with children like crafts, playing outside, reading books, playing games, etc. I have also pet sit animals including dogs, cats, and goats and I am able to walk, feed, and play with any animal. I have a standard poodle at home named Charley and petsitting might help me miss him a little less. I have housesit many times and I can clean, run errands, do laundry, organize, etc. I am CPR certified and have a valid drivers license. I am a very caring and empathetic person and I have always believed my duty in life is to help others.
Hello there! My name is Samantha and live in the 94112 area. I’m fluent in Spanish, French, and English. I know elementary-level Italian and ASL. I’m a first year at Santa Clara University, and I studied abroad in France 2 years ago and lived with a host family. That was an incredible experience! I’m excited to offer childcare and house sitting services. As a caregiver, my main roles include: - language conversations/lessons (Spanish, French, English) - help with light household chores (like organizing, cleaning up play areas) - Making arts & crafts with your child(ren) - Playing games/board games with them - preparing meals or snacks - assisting with homework/tutoring - supervising outdoor play ~and anything else requested!~ I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and love spending time with kids. For the past four years, I’ve worked as an assistant teacher for a summer program in SF, teaching 7th and 9th grade STEM classes. When I’m not taking care of others, I enjoy baking, arts & crafts making, playing board games and card games, watching movies, playing soccer, ceramics, traveling, and exploring the city. I hope you’re interested in what I have to offer! Let me know if you have any questions.
hello! :-) I’m a 20 year old psychology major at SFSU and plan on going into private practice with adolescents. Im also part of Alpha Gamma Delta- where we advocate for fighting hunger- at school. Im originally from Southern California and am the oldest daughter of two little sisters and also have two older brothers. I cared for my little sisters until I graduated, babysat around my hometown neighborhood, as well as my little sisters dance coachs’ daycare. I’ve also volunteered at an after school program as a group leader! I’m a sympathetic being and appreciate the privilege of getting to know tiny humans and care for them. With these experiences, I am strong with patience, time efficient, carry a playful but responsible attitude and have developed problem solving skills! I also work at a community toy store! a little more about me is I own a pup and on my free time I enjoy taking him on walks, reading, journaling, exploring the city, coloring, going to the beach, throwing picnics, catch up with my grandmother and attending the aquarium or live music events happening near me. Thank you for reading this far, hope to chat soon! 💌
I have a thorough background in childcare and working with children. I was a camp counselor at the Burlingame Parks and Recreation Adventure camp for 5 years and have been CPR certified twice. I am passionate and love to see children learn and grow throughout my time with them. I like to create a fun environment with the potential to ask questions, be curious and have fun as all children should. I am studying Biology so I love to expose children to the outdoor, information about our environment and other fun animal facts to further enrich their experience. I can’t wait to meet you all and share my kindness, passion and enthusiasm with you!

"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."
