Hi, My name is Guadalupe! I enjoy babysitting and have experience taking care of infants, toddlers, kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included getting kids ready for school, assisting with morning & night routines, reading books, crafting, baking and light house work. I have worked with 6-17 years old for the past 5 years through San Francisco local non-profits and after school programs. I have volunteered at various San Francisco Early Childhood Education Head-start programming for kids ages 3-5 years old for 4 years. I am a proud aunt to twin nieces ❤️ CPR trained and certified! I speak both Spanish and English and am able to practice these languages with your kid(s). A few strong traits that I hold are patience, active listening and energetic. I believe kids should have someone who is willing to understand their needs as well as guidance and have fun while being safe! Looking forward to assisting you in anyway possible. Thank you for your time!

“Wonderful with my kids. Always on time. Sings, plays, reads, and cleans up all while keeping up with our insane schedule to get out of the house every morning. Such a big help!!”

Hi! My name is Alexis, and I’m a third-year Psychology major at the University of San Francisco. I have a deep passion for working with children, which began when I was twelve years old. With over six years of experience, I’ve cared for kids ranging in age from 9 months to 13 years. I’m comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities, from engaging in creative play and helping with homework to maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified and trained in AED and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority in my care.
