Hi, I am Pema! I have been working with children ages 4-11 for the past three summers at Tree Frog Treks, a science and nature focused summer camp in San Francisco. In my role as Naturalist, I led groups of children in full days of exploring, productive play, and hands-on inquiry-based learning about science and nature in Golden Gate Park and throughout the city. I recently earned my Bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University with high honors in Dance and Environmental Studies and I am excited for the opportunity to continue my passion for working with kids beyond the summer season. I am passionate about the environment and love engaging with kids outside. I also love anything creative, with a background in visual arts and musical theater, in addition to dance.
“Pema was punctual, friendly and a great sport playing with my toddler.”
Beauty professional and cat mom— I have cared for my own cat and others for the past five years. I am an animal lover and will treat your family as my own!
Hello, my name is Leesie! I’m currently a student attending St. John’s University pursuing my undergrad in health & human services. After college I plan to work with children with special needs - my inspiration for this is my dear brother Lincoln whom has autism. He’s my super star and I’ve helped my mom raise him up since I was 10 until leaving home to pursue my education. I hope to be able to help families out there that need assistance with their children from a wide range of ages; struggling work and home life which I know can be super stressful. My interests are out door activities, painting, sports and reading. I have no problem with cleaning after kids/ keeping things tidy also helping with homework if needed… however if you require me to cook I am working on my skills but I’d say I have a moderate ability to do so as a young adult and open to learning more through out this experience.
Hello parents and caregivers! I'm Jordan, a NYC–based caregiver with a passion for childcare! I'm a recent UC Berkeley alum who has spent countless hours through education-centered coursework and hands on experience investing in the bright minds of tomorrow! My experience includes working with children in both formal household settings, as well as in educational environments (through tutoring and volunteering at school events). I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to caregiving that prioritizes safety, creativity, and emotional awareness. Beyond childcare, I have experience assisting with pet care and household tasks, and I’m happy to support busy families with errands or light upkeep as needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s values and routines. Whether it’s keeping kids entertained off-screens, helping them learn or simply making sure they feel safe and heard, I aim to create a calm, positive environment parents can trust!
I am a mature women with well over 20 years of experience with children of all ages. I am kind, caring and fun to be around. I am reliable and trust-worthy person, your children will be safe in my hands. I am CPR certify and college educated. I have a clean background and clean driver license. Please consider me to take good care of your children. I am willing and able to produce the best service.

"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!"
