Please read thoroughly before requesting!! Thanks so much for viewing. If I am applying to YOUR post for a one time sit, I will accept the rate at which you’ve set. Please check my calendar. Please don’t request any days that are unavailable. NOTE: Will accept jobs that have a dedicated parking space or ample parking available in the neighborhood as I'll be driving to your location. In addition, if your child or anyone in the family is sick or suspects COVID, please do not book or if I have already approved the sit, please cancel. I want to protect my health and you and your families health so please be respectful. Current Availability - On Call, Date Nights, Occasional, Weekends Hello! My name is Francesca and I look forward to meeting your family. I've been babysitting since I was 13 years old, caring for multiple nieces and family friend's children ranging from ages 1-16. I also have experience working at a preschool for my senior project. Previously, I volunteered as a Kindergarten Aide at an elementary school in San Francisco on my spare time. I have a clean driving record and have my own transportation. A little background about me: I played piano and keyboard for over 8 years, enjoy reading on my spare time, love to bake and cook, & I'm a Yoga and Pilates enthusiast. I have a 3.9 GPA with multiple honors and dean lists notations. I am also magna cum laude of my graduating class. Being around children brings me joy and love any opportunity to be around them. Some activities that I like doing with children are reading (highly encouraged since I was an avid reader since age 4), helping with homework, snack time/feeding, arts & crafts, computer/electronic educational games (only if parent encourages it - otherwise no electronics per parents request), singing, dancing, games, puzzles, going to the park, basketball, make believe etc... I am a responsible, caring, nurturing, dedicated and organized individual and hope to be a positive contribution to your family. Cancellation Policy: If bookings are cancelled by the parent within 12 hours of the start time of the booking, I charge a fee of 50% of the total booking to help offset the loss of wages on short notice.

Booked by 7 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hello parents, I'm Carol and I'm 28 years old. I've been a nanny over 3 years here in the Bay Area with mostly experience with infants and toddlers. Depending on the kid's age I enjoy doing different activities indoors like reading books, doing arts and crafts, painting, etc and outdoors (always following the COVID guidelines). Exploring nature help kids to be away from electronics and let them discover new skills in them selves. I see myself as a punctual, patient, reliable and easygoing person, who is a good listener and follows parent's guidelines.

“We love having Carol watch our son (toddler). When we tell him in the morning that Carol is coming that evening he asks us through the day if she's here yet... and when we say no, he goes "Aww, man" (and squeals in delight when she arrives!). Carol is EXTREMELY attentive to Tristan, very sweet and caring with him. She gets down on his level, asks him questions about what he wants to do and makes sure he has a fun time. She does a "yes, and" when playing with him, and plays how he wants to play (of course keeping him safe). He loves it! And keeps the TV off, which is great. And her positive, infectious energy has us all smiling and laughing. As parents, we appreciate that she is responsible, communicates well, punctual, gets him fed, gets him to bed on time, and even does bath time when needed! We really look forward to being able to go out for dinner while having complete peace of mind. In short, we would highly recommend Carol to any friends of ours who are looking for a babysitter!”

Hi there! My name is Belén and I’m originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’m a fashion designer graduate and I been living here for three year already.

Booked by 2 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hi, I’m Necole! I am an experienced nanny and caregiver with nearly 10 years of professional caretaking background, including ~7 years supporting my last long-term family from infancy through school age. In May 2026, I completed my BA in Child & Adolescent Development with a minor in Special Education. After taking time to be a stay at home mom, finish my degree, and get married, I am excited to step back into my career field! For the time being, I am specifically seeking short-term/temporary roles (available between 9am–5pm, depending on location) that align seamlessly with my daughters school schedule and allow me to preserve our cherished weekday routines. I bring a structured, nurturing, and development-focused approach, and I am available to provide high-quality short-term support, emergency backup, or temporary coverage for your family. I look forward to connecting! • Resume Available Upon Request

“My family needed emergency care for our boys, who are 2 and 4 years old. Necole watched them for several days, and we were so happy with her service that we requested her for the following week. We have not seen our sons adapt so quickly to someone new. She was very attentive to them and their needs. She did an excellent job with food preparation and daily activities for them. We appreciated her extra efforts, playing music, reading them lots of books and doing arts and crafts (currently displayed in our home). She also made sure they got some safe, fun time outside. She is adaptable to change and figures out things on her own- we were comforted to know that our boys were in good hands.”
