Hi there! I'm Charlotte. I have a degree in Sociology from the USF, and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter/nanny. I am currently a full time nanny for a one year old in Bernal Heights for 3 weeks of the month, every 4th week the baby is cared for by her grandmother, and I am looking to pick up some short term/date-night gigs during that week, or evening gigs during the other weeks. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers, as well as caring for multi-child homes with 4+ children. I truly love working with kids, I am a certified yoga instructor and have worked at a kids summer theater camp. I can provide multiple references upon request.
“Charlotte has been watching our child since she was 7 months old as her full time nanny, essentially raising our kid with us. Her attention to detail, collaborative nature, and overwhelming kindness make her the perfect person to watch your kids in any capacity. ”
Hello, my name is Lita. I recently completed the UX Design Bootcamp at UC Berkeley Extension and am currently offering childcare, Doula, and household support services. I genuinely enjoy working with children and have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids—including twins. My past responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, tutoring, and even teaching swimming lessons. In addition to childcare, I also assist with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I have a passion for cooking and love sharing Thai cuisine—sometimes I even cook together with the children as a fun, hands-on activity that helps us connect. I’m also comfortable working in homes with pets and occasionally help with dog and cat sitting as well. I’d be happy to learn more about your family’s needs and see how I can support you!
Hello! I’m currently living and working at a Buddhist monastery in San Francisco, where I meditate daily and study Buddhist psychology. I’m preparing to begin graduate school this fall to become a therapist, and I bring a calm, attentive, and compassionate presence to my work with children. I’ve spent many years caring for kids in a variety of settings. I grew up babysitting and recently returned from Asia, where I worked as a camp counselor in Japan leading groups of children and supporting ADHD, autism, and mental health needs. I’ve also taught English to children in Vietnam and worked as a tutor in the U.S. for two years. I love to dance, play, and do crafts, and I enjoy creating a fun, supportive, and safe environment.
Hi! My name is Jamie, and I am a clinical psychologist. I love working with kids and can provide tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and help with household tasks! I am available on weekday evenings and weekends. I have experience babysitting and tutoring elementary through middle school-aged students over the past 8 years. I have worked at several educational summer camps, a summer school, and a program that taught social-emotional skills to elementary-aged students. I also have experience providing one-on-one tutoring and babysitting for kids ages 4-13. I can provide tutoring for homework help or for educational enrichment. I also have experience teaching executive functioning strategies for organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks, improving attention span, and managing distractibility. I love connecting with kids and finding creative ways to make learning fun and engaging. I enjoy helping kids explore their passions and express their creativity. I love creative writing, storytelling, playing sports and outdoor games, enjoying nature, and being silly with children. I also have 2 years of experience as a household assistant and enjoy completing household tasks to make things run smoothly. Through my graduate training, I have learned to be very reliable and organized and to communicate effectively. Please reach out if you are interested in tutoring or babysitting for your children or a household assistant!
“Jamie was on time, thorough with the job, and communicative, leaving the condo spotless. I would highly recommend her service.”
My name is Leah, and I’d be happy to help out with your kiddos! A little about me — I’m a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, California, and recently moved to San Francisco. I’ve worked with children for many years as a camp counselor, tutor, and behavior interventionist for children with special needs. I also have several years of experience as a medical assistant, so I’m CPR-certified and have strong medical knowledge. I’ve been babysitting for about three years and have worked with kids of all ages. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, or extracurricular activities. I love being outdoors and doing creative projects like arts and crafts. My schedule is very flexible, and I have a car for any transportation needs. I’d be glad to provide additional information or references — I look forward to meeting you and your family!
