Hi there! I’m Scout. I’m a reliable, friendly, and creative caregiver with experience working with kids from toddler age through high school. In addition to my day job as a swim instructor in San Francisco, I’ve taught after-school programs, professionally run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for children ages 9-16 (and casually for family and friends of all ages), and spent most of last year as a live-in caregiver for two children under 10 before the family moved out of town. I bring patience, empathy, and a love of hands-on learning to every job. Always happy to help with homework, organize crafts and games, or help keep things calm and structured during busy moments. Kids tend to feel comfortable and confident around me, and I take pride in creating a fun, supportive environment for them to learn and grow. I love how so often the littlest humans are the most authentic (and, at times, brutally and hilariously honest) of us all. I’m also a life-long cat lover (I grew up with some incredibly beloved kitties back home in NYC, and I currently have a sweet boy who loves spending his evenings switching between my roommates and my rooms for snuggles), and am always happy to help out with kitties. I’m also happy to help out with chores around the house or running errands, as I get that having a few extra tasks off your plate can make a day far less overwhelming. When I’m not working with kids or giving swimming lessons, you can find me planning my next big hike (I recently completed the Appalachian Trail), reading, spending time with my family, or working on a new D&D campaign.
“We absolutely love having Scout care for our kids. They are incredibly energetic, playful, and fully engaged. As a swim instructor, they confidently swim with the kids and actively teach them, which has been amazing for building both skills and confidence. They also jump right into imaginative play—Barbies, LEGOs, and creative games—and love getting outside for hikes and adventures. Our kids adore them, and we always felt they were safe, happy, and having so much fun. We would highly recommend Scout to any family looking for someone active, trustworthy, and genuinely great with kids.”
I'm a registered nurse and my last employment was working with pediatricians in a community clinic. I love spending time with children of all ages. I enjoy teaching children especially art, science, math and Spanish. I love healthy food, long nature walks and swimming. I have experience working with newborn twins, toddlers and middle schoolers. My references are excellent. I have my own car and clean driving record. I will commit to work only one job to limit exposure. I’m trained in infection control and I’m very conscious and careful about Covit. I’m fully vaccinated. I speak fluent German and very good Spanish. I’m an empty nester and not in a relationship, therefore being extremely flexible.
Hi! My name is Gina, and I’m from Colombia. I’m looking for extra babysitting opportunities. I’m a responsible, respectful, and loving person who truly enjoys helping families and caring for children. Currently, I take care of twin 2-year-olds and their siblings of 4 and 7 years old. I have experience caring for children of different ages — from infants to school-aged kids. In Colombia, I worked with two children, aged 8 and 1, which gave me valuable experience with different developmental stages. I enjoy doing activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and helping with routines. My daily tasks include cooking for the kids, school pick-up, laundry, organizing play areas, and assisting with nap and bedtime routines. I offer child care, and pet care. I also love animals! I have pets myself and I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats. I can help with walking, feeding, and playing with your pets if needed.
“Yinna was prompt and patient with our almost 3 year old. ”
Away from the Bay until May 27th! I'll be back and available to book again on 5/27/2026. My CV: sites.google.com/view/minervalerner/cv I'm passionate about childcare and education, and have worked in daycare, preschool, and elementary school and summer camp settings. I've taught and provided care for children ages 2-10; I've also been involved with animals since childhood as a city shelter volunteer and foster caregiver for both cats and dogs. Most recently I've been trained through In-Home Social Services (IHSS) as a live-in caregiver for an elderly adult, assisting in both medical care and daily home maintenance tasks. I'm thoroughly organized (a total neat freak!) and ready to assume a supporting role (having worked as an assistant teacher/caregiver more often than in leading positions). Your little ones' safety and well-being are my top priorities, second only to your own peace of mind – I know how hard it can be to juggle household needs, and I'll take on whatever tasks necessary with enthusiasm!
“Minnie was amazing! ”
Hi, I’m Quinlan and I have been enjoying babysitting for over 6 years. I moved to California from Chicago after college to pursue a career in outdoor education. Through my experience in childcare, I have worked with children of all ages including infants, and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. In my free time, you might find me hiking, doing yoga, eating ice cream, or volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center. I am always excited to help out parents and get to know kids even if it means just for a night, morning, or even homework help! I am fully vaccinated and have a reliable car.
“Quinlan is such a rare gem! We are so grateful to have met her. She is able to connect and attune with our toddler in ways others can only dream of. We love how much our toddler has fun and engages with Quinlan and that’s because of the type of care and energy she brings to caregiving. ”
