Aaliyah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Aaliyah! :) I’m an undergraduate student at San Francisco State University working towards a degree in Interior Design. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life babysitting my youngest brother who was born with cerebral palsy — who is now 14 and I still take care of him when I can! So, I’m used to diaper changing, feeding and bathing. I’m creative at heart — I believe art is a beautiful part of development and self expression with children. So, I’m big on doing and introducing arts & crafts with children!!

I am back in the North Bay and will be here until early October. I miss babysitting little ones and look forward to working with you if we are a good fit :) My husband and I have been traveling the world for over 4 years. Because I love babies & toddlers, I still want to babysit while on the road. I mostly work with kids between the ages of 6 months to 2. The calendar may not show all my availability. Please reach out if you like my profile. Thanks for your consideration! I worked in the corporate sector focused on finance until 2015 when I left my position at salesforce. Have been self employed since. I decided to become a babysitter because I love children and generally well liked by them. It’s how I get my kids fix :) I tend to become their playmate but will set boundaries when it comes to their safety and well being. I am a foodie and love to cook. My husband and I eat mostly organic food that we make in our own kitchen. I can definitely whip up a healthy delicious meal for your little ones! Cancellation Policy: I am flexible on time adjustments and cancellations as I understand unexpected situations arise. As long as I am available, I will accept extensions and if you need to cancel partial or entire bookings, I do not have any minimum charge or advance notice requirements. I will only charge for hours worked.

“Shirley made our first time having a babysitter for our 7 month old, such a good experience. Her communication, thoughtfulness, and professionalism were wonderful. We couldn't have asked for someone better to care for our little guy while we were out. Thank you Shirley.”

Hi, I’m Caroline! I’m 30 years old, currently living in Petaluma, and attending nursing school. I’m available for part-time, occasional, date-night, and weekend babysitting.

I’m a 30 year old Irish, Mathematics and Science Teacher. I have 8 years full time teaching experience and I have worked with children most of my life. I come from a large family, of which I am the eldest and so helped my parents with my 4 younger siblings. I was a member of the Red Cross at home and I am comfortable with First Aid and CPR. I am a very active person and love to be busy and outdoors. I’m a punctual and professional person yet caring and loving. I am currently employed as a full time teacher in a local Catholic school. I can provide references if required. Looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

“Paula was so fantastic - my kids loved her, and she was communicative and kind with their big energy. Thank you Paula!”

Hi, my name is Ryann! At this time, I am only looking for occasional jobs as I cannot commit to a regularly scheduled babysitting job. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice studies from San Francisco State University, and I am planning to go back to school to obtain a master's degree sometime in the next few years. I am up-to-date on all my vaccinations and boosters (including COVID-19), and I am trained in CPR/AED/First Aid, however my certification has lapsed. While in college, I took three courses specifically related to child and adolescent psychology and development. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old, and have worked with children of various ages over the years (newborns to preteens) as a babysitter, nanny, and volunteer camp counselor. When weather permits, I like to take the kids outside, for walks or to play at the park. However, I am just as happy staying inside, playing games, doing arts and crafts, or reading to the kids. I can also speak conversational Spanish. In my spare time, I like to read, bake, and make jewelry. Regarding COVID-19: I am happy to provide proof of full vaccination, including booster shots. I ask that all household members of families that I work with receive the vaccine and boosters when possible, unless medically unable. I expect mutual transparency; I cannot babysit when someone in the household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and expect to be told as soon as possible so that the job can be canceled. Likewise, I will inform all families if I or someone in my household is sick and/or has been exposed to COVID-19 and will cancel the job with as much notice as possible. I will wear a mask while babysitting if preferred, just let me know! *Please note, for liability reasons, I will not drive children in my personal vehicle; however, I am willing to drive children in a parent or guardian’s vehicle, provided that their insurance policy covers me. Similarly, I am also willing to transport children via public transportation, taxi, or Uber/Lyft.*
