Dear Families: I AM LOOKING FOR A JOB DURING WEEK MORNINGS FROM 7:00 AM UNTIL AROUND 3:00 PM. There is some flexibility. My name is Maria Elena. I’m originally from El Salvador. I hold a valid California driver's license. I've lived in the Bay Area for 33 years. I earned an Associate Degree in Arts and completed 12 credit units in early childhood development. I have 20 years of experience working with children from infants to 10-year-olds. Activities: I truly enjoy spending time with children doing a variety of activities, from reading books to exploring places nearby, such as the library, the Zoo, museums, aquariums, and parks. I am also happy to care for the children's things and help with light organizing and cooking simple meals. I expect to work in a good environment and offer the best of myself to the children. Please, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I’m a reliable, energetic caregiver with years of experience caring for children from toddlers through elementary age kids. I’ve worked with families in both Washington, DC and San Francisco, providing consistent, trusted support for busy parents. I currently work part-time as a consultant, so I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with kids. Caregiving is something I choose to do because I love it—not just as a job, but as a way to stay engaged, active, and connected. I especially enjoy working with curious preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3–6 are my favorite!). My style is hands-on and interactive—I prioritize play, creativity, and outdoor time over screens. Whether it’s building forts, doing puzzles and Legos, reading together, or heading to the park, I bring a high level of energy and engagement. I also have some experience supporting children with ADD/ADHD and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. Outside of caregiving, I’m a long-distance runner and love staying active—something that translates well to keeping up with high-energy kids who enjoy being on the move. I also volunteer as a reading tutor at a local elementary school, which has been a rewarding way to support early learning. (Fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified.)

“Simply wonderful!!”

2/27/26 UPDATE: Moving forward I ask that parents respect my cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the previously agreed upon booking when cancelling a booking with less than 24 hours in advance. If the booking was not made with a set hard end time, I ask that you please accept a fee of $50. Hello! My name is Kaia. I believe it takes a village to raise a child. Being raised by a single parent myself, I am passionate about serving families in my community who need extra childcare support. Queer and trans friendly. While I believe *all* family styles deserve proper childcare, households close to a BART station/commuter friendly are more convenient for me right now.

Hello parents! My name is Claudia and I'm from Colombia (A plus if you want a bilingual sitter). I have been working with kids for more than ten years, and enjoy caring for children. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and schoolers. I also have a certificate in first aid and CPR from the American Red Cross. I love pets, specially dogs, and I enjoy having outdoor activities, playing sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, swimming and gymnastics) but I'm also good doing crafts, art work, table games like chess or planning indoor activities if we have to stay at home. I'm responsible, trustworthy and hardworking. Non Smoker. I have a background and work in science, but I enjoy spending time with kids while babysitting. I am currently living in San Francisco, work as a scientist at Stanford, but enjoy the ocasional babysitting jobs. I also have a California driver license, and a clean record. I can provide strong references too. Looking forward to meet you soon.
