Hello my name is Hana! I love working with infants and children. I have a BFA in graphic design and believe that encouraging creativity in children is very important. I am willing to watch children with parents working from home or away, help with household chores and distance learning.
I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced caregiver with decades of experience caring for children of all ages. My background includes work in elementary education and supporting students in school-based settings, which has given me strong skills in communication, emotional support, and creating safe, structured, nurturing environments for kids. I’m kind, energetic, organized, and naturally good at building trust and rapport while maintaining consistency, boundaries, and safety. Families often describe me as calm, reliable, intuitive, and easy to work with. In addition to childcare, I have years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs and am happy to help with errands, meal prep, organizing, and light household chores. I have professional experience in events catering and as a pastry chef, along with formal culinary arts training, and I genuinely enjoy cooking and preparing meals for others. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, which supports my thoughtful, patient, and attentive approach to caregiving. I love helping families feel supported and making busy lives run a little more smoothly however I can.
Hi! I'm Riley, I'm 23, and living in the Nob Hill/Polk Gulch area. I graduated from the University of Denver with a BSBA in marketing last June, but grew up in the East Bay, and have been living in San Francisco for almost three months. Throughout high school, I frequently babysat for a family with three kids (aged 2-12) and a dog, along with a family with two kids (aged 4-7) and cats. I also worked at a summer camp, responsible for around ten 2-6 year-olds at a time for several hours a day. I'm comfortable cooking, cleaning, helping kids with tasks like dressing, and of course, playing! I can help with homework, assuming it's nothing too advanced. I also have a kitten of my own. I would love to meet you and your family and babysit whenever possible. I'm enthusiastic and outgoing, and love spending time with kids! I love to make friendship bracelets, paint, cook, bake, color, and lots of other activities that we could have fun doing together. I'm also happy to take kids out to the park, for a snack, and other outings. I don't have a car, but I'm comfortable doing errands I can walk to. Also happy to help with laundry and other household tasks whenever the kids are busy playing and within eyeshot.
Hi! I am a responsible and caring 32-year-old with over 20 years of experience in childcare, pet care, senior care, and household tidying/management. I have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old, and I was a nanny for about 5 years to four kids who were ages 2-9 when I started working for them. I love deep conversations and interesting facts, and have experience with neurodivergent and highly intelligent kids. I provide a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment, helping kids learn about and grow in the world in their own unique ways through outdoor exploration, dance, reading, crafts, museums, and imaginative play! I also love animals and have a lot of experience in pet care. I have a degree in psychology, including coursework in child development. I also have my 200-hr yoga teaching certification, am in a 300-hr yoga therapy training with a lot of nutrition knowledge, and am about to go back to school (in the Bay) to become a nurse. My cpr/first aid certification expired in Jan 2026, but I am happy to renew if requested.
Hi, I'm Chloe! I'm an environmental educator for the YMCA of Greater San Francisco, and have been babysitting/nannying for 10+ years. I love being outdoors, doing creative projects, and tailoring my activities to the needs and interests of the families I work for. I also love plants and animals and have experience petsitting and housesitting. I'd love to help some local families :) -CPR/first aid and aquatic specialist certified -Experience with large groups of children -Experience creating and leading environmental/science lessons

"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."
