Rosi $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Rosi, I went to beauty school and currently I’m working as a part time esthetician. I offer child care, senior care, pet care and household services! I love to keep an organized space so I’m happy to do any household chores including cooking, cleaning, tidying up and running any errands :) My experiences with children include having watched over my niece and nephews (ages 8mo - 1yr) and helping out at summer camps (ages 5 - 12yrs). I have a dog of my own and have previously worked on another pet caregiver app! (I also love cats!)

I currently work at a children’s theater as a teacher, camp lead and performer where I take pride in my ability to keep kiddos safe, happy and entertained. I also have experience playing with my three nieces (2, 6 and 8) as well as a short stint as a nanny for a 12 month old boy back in 2021. I have a degree in Cinema from SFSU and am very passionate about movies, theatre and storytelling.

Tessa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! I'm Tessa and I'm a recent grad from UC Santa Barbara who is originally from the Bay Area. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I get along great with kids and have been babysitting/nannying since I was in high school. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and young kids, but am open to all ages! I have helped with school pick-up/drop-off, tutored, improvised fun games, and facilitated many a crafts! I grew up with three dogs, a cat, hamsters, and chickens, so I feel quite comfortable around most pets. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. Please let me know if you have any questions for me!

Selena $25 per hour for 1 child

I started by helping my mom with my siblings; Which just ignited the joy I have with working with children. I'm very patient, and I'm able to provide help where it's needed. I'm starting my first semester at ccsf for ECE, as my focus is to get a job working with children. I'm great at cooking and following diet restrictions. Food safety is my number one priority when it comes to this. I'm able to multitask and take care of anything I may need with a good amount of precision. I genuinely love working with kids, and I hope to have some of my own someday. I have about 10-12 years of experience working with children; my experience primarily comes from helping raise my siblings into the preteens they are now. I grew up cleaning and cooking, so I'm well-equipped when it comes to these.

Kayla $30 per hour for 1 child

As the second oldest of seven children, I have spent most of my life caring for kids. From ages 17 to 19, I was the sole caregiver for my two youngest siblings, then ages 0 to 4, due to an illness in the family. I started babysitting at a young age and quickly built a reputation for being especially good with young children. I went on to work in K-12 summer camps for four summers, then spent two years as a program leader in a K-8 public school afterschool program. During my thirteen years as a flight attendant, I completed annual first aid training, including infant and child CPR and Heimlich maneuver certification. I live in Cole Valley with my small, perfect dog Lola and my partner, who works at a tech start up. I'm reliable, responsible, and very flexible with scheduling. I hold an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and am currently transitioning into education and social impact work. I stay active in the community through food insecurity and youth literacy volunteer programs, as an avid reader, I love to spread my love of books to the next generation! I am a deeply curious and empathic person who believes in meeting someone where they are at and always listening first. I have pets my entire adult life and am also happy to pet sit or take your furry friend for a walk.
