Hi, my name is Jiahui, but I go by Kelly. I’m a recent college graduate and am open to any babysitting opportunities. I have experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I grew up with two younger siblings and also worked as a seasonal babysitter at a private childcare. Duties involved meal prepping, feeding, changing diapers, potty training, managing routines, and leading fun indoor and outdoor activities. I have also worked as a K-5 tutor, supporting groups of up to 10 students in reading, writing, and math, as well as organizing science and art activities. I’m happy to assist with any homework help as well. Currently, I volunteer at the farmers market where I lead and facilitate group field trips that encourage children to build a positive relationship with food and explore their curiosities surrounding food. Feel free to reach out if this seems like a good fit! I’d be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have!
“Kelly was lovely, on time, creative and great with our son! We will be hiring her regularly! ”
Hi- my name is Danielle! I am a public school teacher of 4 years (3rd grade for 3, 2nd grade for 1). I’m looking to make some extra money on the side with house sitting, pet sitting, babysitting, or tutoring. I have a bachelors degree in Childhood Development, i have worked in a preschool as the head teacher and also in an after-school program with elementary aged kiddos, and also spent two years as a full time nanny to twins (3 yrs). I’m mostly looking for evening care jobs or weekends when my schedule permits. I have experience with tutoring elementary school aged kids as well as experience with special needs kids. I have a lot of pet sitting experience and have owned dogs/cats my entire life. I don’t have a ton of free time during weekdays but would be willing to work out check ins or walks if necessary. House sitting would be ideal for my schedule. I have housesat numerous times for family and friends in the past and would feel very comfortable if pets were there too!
“Danielle was great, super friendly and took care of our daughter. She did not shy away from toddler behaviors and jumped right in! ”
My name is Rocio. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages. I am CPR, First Aid, and AED certified and can provide excellent references upon request. Caring for children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have worked in both professional educational settings and as a nanny, helping children grow, learn, and feel safe and supported. I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families. Many of the children I have cared for have remained an important part of my life, and I am honored by the bonds we have created over the years. Families describe me as nurturing, reliable, patient, energetic, and highly engaging. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences for children while also providing structure, consistency, and encouragement. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning activities, exploring outdoors, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s life, I genuinely love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, spending time with family, and being outdoors. I am outgoing, cheerful, and bring positive energy wherever I go.
“Our kids ask Rocio to come back every day. That tells one a lot - kids are picky (at least mine 3&5 year old)”
Hi! I’m Valentina 😊 I’m originally from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently live in San Francisco. I speak Spanish and English, and I really enjoy working with children and getting to know their little personalities. I’m also a Marketing graduate from Colombia, and I’d be happy to share my language and culture with your family if you’re interested. I’d love to teach Spanish through everyday conversations, songs, books, or little things from Colombian culture in a fun and natural way. 👶 My childcare experience Right now, I work full-time taking care of a 11-month-old baby during the day, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday routine that comes with caring for a baby. I help with things like: • Bottles and meals • Diaper changes and getting dressed • Naps and bedtime routines • Tummy time and age-appropriate play • Reading, singing, and keeping the baby engaged • Going for walks and getting out of the house • Following the parents’ routine and instructions • Making sure the baby is always safe and comfortable Before my current job, I cared for a 2-year-old boy, and I’ve also babysat children of different ages. I also regularly babysit, including two sisters who are 3 and 5 years old. I’ve learned that every child is different. Some want to play nonstop, some need a little more patience when they’re tired, and sometimes the best part of babysitting is simply getting down on the floor and playing with them. I really enjoy that part of the job. ❤️ 🧸 What I enjoy doing with kids ⚽️ I don’t like babysitting to feel like I’m just “watching” a child. I like being involved with them and making the time together fun. Depending on their age and what they enjoy, I like doing things such as: • Arts and crafts 🎨 • Reading books 📚 • Drawing and coloring • Music and dancing 🎶 • Imaginative play • Going to the park or taking walks • Age-appropriate games • Helping with meals and snacks • Creating a calm routine before nap or bedtime I’m also happy to follow whatever routine parents already have at home. I know how important consistency is, especially for babies and toddlers. ❤️ A little more about me • CPR Certified ❤️🩹 • Fully vaccinated 💉 • Non-smoker 🚭 • Pet-friendly 🐾 • Spanish & English speaker 🇨🇴🇺🇸 • Marketing graduate 🎓 • Experienced with babies & toddlers 👶

My name is Teresa but you can call me Tete. I am 30 years old and I was born in Mexico. I am offering child care, animal care and household services. When I was fourteen years old I entered an orphanage as a volunteer for children between zero and twelve years old. In the years I was not a volunteer, I babysit for a neighbor and worked at children's fairs. For the past 5 years I’ve been working with kids on the autism spectrum. From that experience I realized the great influence that we can be for children. We have the opportunity to teach them to be better human beings and at the same time we can learn from them despite their young age. Also animals are a big part of my life I have a lot of pets back in Mexico and I earned experience taking care of them. I drive since I was 17 years old and I have more than 5 years driving here in the United States.
