Hi, my name is Kate and I am a Masters student. I offer child care, senior care, and can help with a variety of household tasks. I’ve taken care of younger siblings and cousins for many years. I went to Dartmouth College where I studied Statistics and Studio Art (painting). I have been a tutor for all subjects from elementary to high school, and have also helped many high schoolers with college essay and test prep. I can cook and have a clean drivers license. I grew up with a German Shepherd and am comfortable with dogs. My hobbies include biking, reading, singing, and painting, all of which I love to do with kids!
Hi! I am a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco and have been a nanny in the city for over a year now. I have ~10 years of babysitting experience, I now work for a few families, and they have recommended me to others on numerous occasions. I truly believe children are our future and want to foster a fun but safe space for them. I try to make time for fun, including indoor and outdoor activities, but try to incorporate time for reading or more education based games. Respecting kids’ autonomy is also really important to me, letting them speak and advocate for themselves but still expecting respect and keeping on schedule.
“Kaylen was fantastic with our 18 month old son. She was on time and quickly learned his afternoon and dinner routine. We'd definitely have her back to look after our kids.”
Hi! I’m Catalina, but I tend to go by Cat. I’m a vocalist studying opera at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music! I am offering child care and pet care. I love being a sitter! Working with kids is so fulfilling to me. Kids are incredibly special and time with them should always be cherished! I’ve been working with children since I was 15; from infants to mid-teens. My responsibilities, differing with ages of kids, have included diaper changing, prepping dinner, interactive playtime, and prepping for nap time. For pet care, I have one dog of my own who I treat like a queen! It’s very important that animals are fed well, loved, and also well exercised. - I have my drivers license but no car. - LGBTQ+ friendly!! - I speak some Spanish I look forward to hearing from you!!
I am a high-energy extrovert who truly loves creating "backyard adventures" for the little ones I care for! With over 10 years of residency in San Francisco, I am well-versed in the city’s best museums, parks, and extracurricular activities. I have 2 years of experience specifically with infants and toddlers, and I pride myself on bringing a bubbly personality and a constant smile to every playdate. Beyond childcare, I am a trusted pet sitter for cats and dogs, and I am always happy to help with light household tasks. Recently, I spent time supporting a close friend following a medical emergency. She had a stroke during the first month of pregnancy and lost function of her right hand. I was able to provide full-time care for her 5-month-old and managing household chores so she could focus on recovery. I find deep fulfillment in being the person a family can lean on. I look forward to bringing that same dedication, joy, and local expertise to your home!

"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!"
