Hello there! I’ve been working as a teacher for children for the past 10 years or so, and I’ve worked as a babysitter/nanny several times as well. I love at home activities like arts & crafts, cooking, or reading/writing, but I also enjoy field trips away from home to get kids running around. I’ve worked with all kinds of kids and students so I’m pretty adaptable to most settings. I’ve worked abroad in the past as well , so I have many cultural experiences to share. 广东话没事 国语还可以 日本語も少し話せます I have a bit of a fur allergy though, so unfortunately I’m not great with pets. Mainly looking for part time work. Thanks so much for your consideration!
“Michelle was great! She quickly got Gia to calm down and read her books before bedtime. Will happily hire again!”
Hi! I’m Kym! I’m 23, originally from Ohio, and moved to SF about a year ago for my job at the Levi’s home office. Outside of my corporate 9-5, spending time with kids is one of my favorite ways to step out of the work bubble! I’ve been babysitting for ~6 years and have regularly cared for multiple families, with kids ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I’m super comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and schedules, and really meeting each kid where they’re at! A little about my experience: - Ages: 3 months–12 years - Special needs: G-tube care, severe allergies, ASD - Certifications: REACH certified + CPR certified Availability: I’m available any time outside of 9-5 M-F. I’m open to evening/date-night sitting, weekend help, and occasional care! A little more about me: I love cooking, thrifting/fashion, music festivals, taking corepower classes, and soccer/futsal! If you think we could be a good fit, I’d love to connect! I’m happy to share strong references, social media, vax records, or any other info that would be helpful. 💝
Hello, my name is Yasmin. I have been babysitting pretty frequently for the past few years, specifically before the pandemic. I have worked with all age groups from newborns to high school students. I’m currently working at a high a school as a therapist and I have worked with kids with autism before so I am equipped to work with kids of all education levels and developmental levels. I’m looking forward to meeting new families and continuing to be a great sitter!
“yasmin was great. she was prompt, respectful, and friendly. our daughters were mostly asleep but we felt safe leaving them with her and will definitely ask to see if she is available again. ”
Hello! I’m Berkeley I have been working as a nanny, full and part time for 20 yrs. 15 of those years in San Francisco. I’ve truly enjoyed working with so many wonderful families and their cool kids over the years! Currently looking for a variety of work opportunities with new families. In addition to childcare, I’m also available for pet care and house sitting, and household services. Particularly good at keeping homes tidy, organizing, and helping in the kitchen. Experience with premature babies through 12 years old. The last 10 years almost exclusively with multiple children, siblings and twins. Mostly newborns and toddlers. The majority of jobs I’ve had started in infancy and transitioned into toddler years. My childcare style is patient, kind, calm. I have a solid understanding of developmental stages, age appropriate activities, and assistance in reaching learning milestones. Strong emphasis on communication and safety! I’m accustomed to the responsibilities of outings and activities, playdates, getting kids to the park is a favorite. I especially like being helpful in the kitchen with cooking and food prep. Used to handling kids laundry, bottle cleaning and sanitation, meal preparation, toy cleanup, keeping home tidy. Also happy to help out with light pet care around the house. Staying organized and adhering to schedules. Thank you in advance for your consideration! Sincerely, Berkeley B
“Berkeley was an incredible nanny for our little one, from when he was about 6 months old to one year old. She’s extremely punctual, reliable, communicative, and tidy— and most importantly, so sweet and attentive with our baby. Going back to work was so hard, but Berkeley made that transition so much easier. We hope to see her again for random babysitting, etc.!”

"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!"
