Hello! I'm Cassidy and I'm a junior at SFSU. I am offering child care and household services. I started babysitting a bit more than a year now, but have worked with children since I was 16 (volunteering at an elementary after-school program). I love being creative with children, so I do crafts, draw, build, and make up games with kids when I babysit them. I also have experience helping kids with homework and am happy to provide extra academic support! I can drive to the kids' appointments or anywhere needed, cook, and clean. I am allergic to cats.
Hi, I’m Olli and I’m looking to add some babysitting onto my plate! I am currently a preschool teacher in the 2’s classroom. I have experience as a teacher with 4 and 5 year olds as well. I have a car and can drive. I have my bachelors in psychology and am currently taking early childhood education classes. I love being around kids and helping them navigate the world. Familiar with diapers and potty training! :)
Hi! I love caring of kids, and have a knack for keeping them entertained. As a teen I took care of my younger brother, so I’m familiar with taking responsibility for kids of all ages. Although I work full time, I am able to support you and your family in the evenings and over the weekend as needed. I can also play piano with and speak Russian with your children if that’d be of interest.
Hi, my name is Hashi! I am a recent UCLA graduate currently working in youth development in San Francisco. I am looking for part time babysitting jobs. I love babysitting and working with children of all ages. I have worked as an academic counselor for high school students, have worked with kids ages 4-12 as a swim instructor and have also baby sat children of all ages throughout my high school years. I am able to drive children anywhere needed, work on arts and crafts (I have lots of beads and love working with children on making jewelry), and able to tutor in all subjects up to high school level. I can also cook, clean, run errands, and other household help needed. Happy to feed pets or walk dogs as well. Also hope to pet or house sit.
I’m a nanny with 17 years of experience here and in London with kids all ages and I have great references. I’m currently working for a family for 6 years taking care of their 2 kids since they were babies, but now they both are at school and I have mornings to 1pm free.

"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."
Theresa M., parent
