Pearl $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a mother of two grown, wonderful boys. I currently work full time as an ultrasound technician and work with pediatric patients. I feel my nurturing, caring personality is a great asset for a family seeking a sitter. I am up to date on my BLS/CPR certification. I am available evenings after work about 6:00pm M-F. And available most weekends (for those dates nights)

Hannah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Hannah and I've worked with kids on and off for the past 10 years. I was a nanny to a household of twins from the ages of 4 to when they were 10. I've cared for infants, toddlers, and elementary age children. I also have experience running multi-week summer theatre and art classes for ages 5-12. I have housekeeping and pet sitting experience with a wide variety of pets (for example: a five-cat household, with puppies, and senior dogs!) Additionally, I've volunteered extensively for multiple years with an afterschool program for teens with special needs. I'm flexible, personable, and love kids. I can always roll with the punches that life brings with little ones. I'm happy to be there for your family whenever you need! I have my own transportation. I can't wait to get started!

Christina $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi I am a mother of three amazing adult kids. My oldest (27) is a college graduate working as a Computer Engineer. My middle child is a Biology graduate from University of San Francisco and last but not least my youngest daughter (19) is in the arts and loves all things music. A side from my love of being a mom, I'm passionate about health and fitness. Now that my kids are independent, I would love to be a part of your kids growth and have tons of fun while doing so! I'm always open to starting with a call to see if we are a good fit for each other.

Felicia $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a part-time teacher who enjoys supporting families by providing dependable, caring, and flexible childcare. My professional background is in fashion and sustainability, but being an auntie has given me a special love for caring for the many children in my life. I believe in creating a safe, comfortable, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. I currently work in the nursery at my local church, caring for children ages 1–3. For four years, I cared for a little boy from the time he was 6 months old through age 4. More recently, I have also helped care for a 2-year-old and newborn twins. I bring patience, kindness, creativity, and dependability to every family I support. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel cared for while providing families with reliable support they can trust.

Gabriela $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – my name is Gabriela. I’m a college graduate and currently work part-time. I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve worked with toddlers and school-aged children through babysitting jobs, as an activities coordinator, after-school coach and as a Teacher’s Assistant. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing snacks, organizing fun activities, or handling school pick-ups, I love creating a safe and engaging environment where kids feel supported and cared for. In addition to child care, I’m experienced with household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to help make your daily routine a little easier. Please let me know if you'd think we would be a good fit or if you have any questions!

"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!"
