***Update: Please message me for availability- the calendar on here is rarely updated. Thank you! :-) ************************************************************** Hello! I'm a Bay Area native and I was a childcare provider and nanny for over 10 years in San Francisco before I began my teaching certification program. I really enjoy working with families and still keep in close contact with the last family I worked with. In the past, I've also worked for the Y.M.C.A. as a coach and teacher for children in their camp program. I love doing arts and crafts activities, and going on outside adventures with kids to parks, museums (California Academy of Sciences is a great one!), and libraries. Most of my past jobs working with families were referrals from other families I worked with, so this is my first time using an online site to apply for positions. My certifications are in Special Education EC-12th grade, E.S.L. EC-12th grade, English Language Arts and Reading 7th-12th grade, and General Education EC-6th grade. While working on my credential I completed internship hours in an elementary school classroom working with children on the Autism Spectrum. My experience in the internship was so inspiring that I decided to make Special Education a focus in teaching. I'm taking this semester off from teaching so I’m mostly tutoring, but also available for occasional babysitting. I really enjoy babysitting because it gives me the opportunity to be creative, no matter what age the child is, with play and learning activities. As an Educator, I am passionate about incorporating play into education to make learning accessible for every child. My schedule isn’t usually updated on the app, so please feel free to send me a message inquiring about a date. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Reese

Hello! My name is Audrey, and I’m excited to get back into babysitting! I’m a Step Down ICU Nurse and also a first time mama to our sweet baby girl. ❤️ I’ve been a nurse for over two years and have several years of previous babysitting experience. I actually used this platform to babysit while I was in nursing school, but I had to step away after moving out of the Bay Area for work. Now that my family and I are officially back to the Bay Area, I’d love to start babysitting again! Since I currently work full-time as a nurse, I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting opportunities such as date nights, errands, appointments, or when you just need an extra helping hand. My nursing schedule varies from week to week, so I don’t have set availability, but feel free to reach out with the dates and times you need and I’d be happy to see if I can fit them into my schedule. I am comfortable caring for all ages; babies, toddlers, school aged kids.

Hi parents! I’ve been in United States since 2019. I came as an au pair and now I’m a college student. All this time I had the pleasure of taking care of kids from different ages: 8 months to 12 years. With the kids I like to read books, paint, play, take them to parks or different places if the parent is comfortable. I’m a person that is very patient, calm, respectful and trustworthy.

“Karen was very friendly and professional, our daughter really enjoyed her! We would definitely hire her again. ”

"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!"
