Booked by 18 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi families! I’m Laiane, a dedicated nanny with over 5 years of experience, mainly with toddlers and younger kids, plus some infant care. I’ve supported families with everything from potty training and creative play to school drop-offs and busy schedules, including caring for twins. I like creating activities tailored to each child’s personality, whether arts and crafts or outdoor adventures. Safety is always a priority. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, fluent in English and Portuguese, fully vaccinated, and have excellent references from families I’ve worked with. I’m looking for a full-time position with about 35 hours/week starting in September (flexible).

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am offering child. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified by the American Red Cross as of Nov 2025, and up to date on flu & Covid vaccines. I’m a dog mom to Callie (featured in my photo) and am a natural care taker. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old and have taken care of infants, toddlers, small children and pre-teens. I enjoy spending time with my friends and their children. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors (hiking, tennis etc), being active (yoga, Pilates), trying new restaurants with friends, traveling, walks with my dog, art, volunteering (tutoring middle school children). * Please note, I’ve returned to families houses for babysitting but via text, so it’s not recorded on the app that I’ve had returning visits. **I accept cash and venmo, but cannot accept credit cards. Childhood development is an area that’s always interested me as I helped care for my sister (who was born when I was 13), and I am considering getting my masters in the field to ultimately make a career transition. Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Hi! I’m Yuri, a recent graduate from San Francisco State University with a Master’s degree in Cell Biology. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially for date nights and weekend help! I’ve been babysitting professionally for about 12 years and also grew up helping care for my 6 younger siblings. As a San Francisco native, I love building strong connections with local families and creating fun, enriching experiences for kids. I especially enjoy nurturing children’s creativity and curiosity through arts and crafts, reading in silly voices, building forts, digging for “gems” in edible sand (blended cereal!), Legos, nature walks, museums, and play groups. I have a Montessori-inspired, gentle parenting approach and love encouraging children’s independence, imagination, and confidence in a warm and supportive environment. Working with children genuinely brings me so much joy, and I hope to continue babysitting while I work toward finding a permanent full-time position in research. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!

I have 10+ years of babysitting experience, including caring for the same family for 8 years—from when the child was a newborn through age 8. That experience taught me how to handle everything from infant care to school routines with patience and consistency. I’m reliable, easygoing, and love spending time with kids—whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m also big on clear communication with parents and making sure everyone feels comfortable.

Hi there! 👋 I’m Pearl and if you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves being around kids, you’ve found her. I’ve spent over 20 years working with children in nearly every setting imaginable: summer camps, preschools, two years living with a family as an au pair, and ongoing nanny work. What started as a passion became a calling. Every single stage shaped how I show up for the children in my care, present, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic. What families tell me sets me apart: • I come prepared. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before naptime, I’m calm, creative, and never at a loss. • I use positive discipline, no yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I treat your home like my own and your routines like law. Your rules are my rules, full stop. • Kids tend to open up to me fast. I think it’s because I take them seriously. I’m currently available for occasional bookings, perfect if you need reliable backup coverage, a regular date night sitter, or someone to step in when life gets busy. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Send me a message, I always respond quickly! Pearl

“She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!”
