Nahomi $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Nahomi, a San Francisco native, I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 and truly love spending time with kids. With my background in psychology and experience working with youth, I understand how important it is to create a safe, patient, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I enjoy planning fun, engaging activities — whether that’s arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, reading stories, or creative projects that keep little ones excited and involved. I also specialize in evening and nighttime routines, helping with dinner, bath time, homework, and smooth bedtimes so parents can confidently enjoy a well-deserved break. I’m reliable, warm, and attentive, and I treat every child with care and respect. I look forward to supporting your family!
