Hi! My name is Santana. I look forward to meeting you. I love kids :) I was a special education teacher for seven years, with teaching experience in most grade levels. I have a masters in social work and now do direct service work with youth and parents. I also love little ones! I have a nephew who is one year old and I love spending time with him. I can also help with dogs! I have a small dog myself :)

Hi! I'm Kendall, a nursing student at San Francisco State. I offer childcare, senior care, pet care, and household support in San Francisco. I've been caring for kids for over 10 years, from newborns and infants to teenagers. My experience comes from babysitting and nannying, teaching outdoor education, substitute teaching, summer camps, rock climbing instruction, and youth leadership programs. These days, I'm also training in the hospital as part of nursing school and currently work with newborns, which has deepened my love for supporting families during those early stages of life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. You'll usually find me outside exploring parks, doing arts and crafts, reading stories, building forts, baking, climbing trees, making up games, or helping with homework. I love following children's curiosity and creating opportunities for them to learn, grow, and have fun. I'm happy to help with schoolwork, transportation, meal prep, bedtime routines, and whatever helps make family life run a little smoother. Before nursing school, I worked as a violence prevention educator, substitute teacher, outdoor guide, and volunteer training coordinator. I also have extensive training in communication, crisis response, and creating safe, supportive environments. I am certified in CPR/BLS (Basic Life Support) and Wilderness First Response. I also enjoy working with older adults. I've helped care for family members with severe illness/neurocognitive deficits and have spent much of my professional life supporting people through challenging situations. I love hearing stories, building connections, helping with errands, preparing meals, providing transportation, or simply being good company. I'm comfortable caring for cats and dogs and am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and overnight pet care. My start in the Bay Area was exploring via Trusted Housesitters. Around the house, I can help with cooking, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, organizing, errands, plant care, and general household tasks. I'm tidy, dependable, and the kind of person who notices what needs to get done and jumps in to help. People often describe me as warm, responsible, adventurous, patient, and easy to talk to. Whether your family needs a reliable babysitter, an extra set of hands around the house, support for an older loved one, or someone to care for your pets, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit.

Hi, I’m Maria, a highly experienced and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in education and specialized child care. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Preparation for Teaching and currently work as a substitute teacher, supporting students across a wide range of ages, abilities, and learning environments. I previously worked as a Preschool Teacher at La Petite Academy, where I was responsible for maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing classroom. I supported daily routines, led age-appropriate learning activities, assisted with meals and transitions, and used positive behavior guidance to support social and emotional development. I understand how important consistency, patience, and clear communication are for young children. In addition, I have extensive experience working with children with disabilities and medical needs. I have supported children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, visual impairments, seizure disorders, behavioral challenges, and children who require tube feeding. Through my work in special education settings, I developed a calm, attentive, and safety-focused approach to care. I am comfortable following care plans, recognizing signs of distress, and working closely with families to meet each child’s individual needs. Beyond my education background, I have spent several years sailing internationally as part of a small crew, traveling over 15,000 nautical miles. This experience strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, problem-solving skills, and ability to remain calm in high-pressure situations. These qualities directly support my work with children and families. Families describe me as dependable, nurturing, and confident. I take pride in being someone parents can trust with their children’s safety, well-being, and daily care. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with reliable, thoughtful care.

My name is Jessica but I prefer to be called Jessy (system won't allow me to update my name). I’m a mom of a 10-year-old and a 3-year-old with a long background in childcare—babysitter, nanny, teacher, after-school, and summer camp work. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable with kids of all ages, pets, and light household help. I am a part time HR consultant who would love to make a little extra money and always love being around awesome kiddos. I am generally available Tues and Thur mornings and evenings as well as weekends.

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 a very caring and empathetic person and I have always believed my duty in life is to help others.
