Hi there! šš¼ Iām a friendly and reliable babysitter with experience caring for young children.

Feel free to message me with any questions! Amanda.
Hi there! Iām Scout. Iām a reliable, friendly, and creative caregiver with experience working with kids from toddler age through high school. In addition to my day job as a swim instructor in San Francisco, Iāve taught after-school programs, professionally run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for children ages 9-16 (and casually for family and friends of all ages), and spent most of last year as a live-in caregiver for two children under 10 before the family moved out of town. I bring patience, empathy, and a love of hands-on learning to every job. Always happy to help with homework, organize crafts and games, or help keep things calm and structured during busy moments. Kids tend to feel comfortable and confident around me, and I take pride in creating a fun, supportive environment for them to learn and grow. I love how so often the littlest humans are the most authentic (and, at times, brutally and hilariously honest) of us all. Iām also a life-long cat lover (I grew up with some incredibly beloved kitties back home in NYC, and I currently have a sweet boy who loves spending his evenings switching between my roommates and my rooms for snuggles), and am always happy to help out with kitties. Iām also happy to help out with chores around the house or running errands, as I get that having a few extra tasks off your plate can make a day far less overwhelming. When Iām not working with kids or giving swimming lessons, you can find me planning my next big hike (I recently completed the Appalachian Trail), reading, spending time with my family, or working on a new D&D campaign.
āWe absolutely love having Scout care for our kids. They are incredibly energetic, playful, and fully engaged. As a swim instructor, they confidently swim with the kids and actively teach them, which has been amazing for building both skills and confidence. They also jump right into imaginative playāBarbies, LEGOs, and creative gamesāand love getting outside for hikes and adventures. Our kids adore them, and we always felt they were safe, happy, and having so much fun. We would highly recommend Scout to any family looking for someone active, trustworthy, and genuinely great with kids.ā
Hello there! Iām Yelyzaveta, you also can call me Ellie ā a trustworthy, experienced caregiver whoās loved working with children since I was 11. My childcare experience began with my nephew (diapers, doctor visits, feeding, baths, bedtime, homework help) and continued after I moved to the U.S. in 2022, when I lived with a family and cared for their 1-year-old and 3-year-old for over a year. My duties included meal preparation , daycare drop-offs and pickups , bathing, educational play, storytime, museum outings, and building routines that made the day calm and fun. I still help their family occasionally. Iām patient and attentive ā when a child is upset I give them space, check they feel safe, and help them name and work through their feelings. I bring creativity to play (arts & crafts, building, interactive games), read aloud with enthusiasm, and support early learning and motor skills. Iām also comfortable with light household tasks while children nap, and happy to help with cooking and homework support. Outside of childcare, I work as a cafĆ© lead. I hold a degree in Food Technology and plan to study something different in college. I speak English, Ukrainian, and Russian. People describe me as organized, responsible, and caring. Iām always more than happy to have a chat or a quick call with potential families so we can discuss details and make sure you feel comfortable before we begin. Iād love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for your children!
Cared for newborns (preemies & twins) and infants to preschoolers! Familiesā references include the words caring, nurturing, patient, honest, flexible, punctual and playful , with me being called āAuntyā by the little ones who easily adapt to and are comfortable with me. Keeping open communication about their day and evening activity with parents is a priority, while focusing on their safety and maintaining a clean environment with no distractions from electronics. Being available for sleep training and transitioning babies from breast/bottle to solid food are invaluable. Along with a keen awareness of developmental goals and providing age appropriate educational activities as little ones grow, are proven examples of an experienced, well educated caregiver who strives to maintain a calm, respectful and positive family structure.
Hi! My name is Helia and I'm currently a new graduate working full time in San Francisco. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I am an older sister to two siblings and have worked as an afterschool nanny throughout university to a twin boy and girl. My responsibilities have included pickup from school, homework help, and taking them to and from activities. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Additionally, during COVID I used to hold art classes for students ages 3-5 as a way of entertainment and social connection throughout quarantine.
