Booked by 11 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m a 23-year-old college student with years of experience caring for both children and animals. I work as a veterinary assistant, and also worked at a Boys and Girls club. I truly love helping and caring for others—whether that means keeping kids safe and engaged or making sure pets get the attention and exercise they need. I’m reliable, responsible, and patient, and I take pride in creating a safe and positive environment. I’m available most evenings and early mornings, which is perfect for morning dog walks or helping get children ready for the day. My hourly rate is flexible depending on ages and specific needs. While I don’t have a car, I’m dependable with scheduling and committed to showing up on time. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your family or pets — feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Isabella was amazing with our 15 month old who has major stranger danger! Isabella was able to win over our daughter immediately and our daughter had a great time with her! Isabella is great!”

Booked by 125 families in San Francisco, CA

Hi! My name is Erin and I'm the oldest of three kids and a recent(ish) college grad. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience working with babies and toddlers in a childcare setting, elementary school-age children in a sleep-away camp setting, and high schoolers in a residential dorm setting. I have a compassionate and collaborative approach to conflict resolution that prioritizes sensitivity and empathy to anyone I'm interacting with. I've led children in arts and crafts, games, and intentional conversations, which would translate well into taking children to the playground, on walks, or helping with homework. My pet sitting experience so far as been with cats and dogs (check in visits, feeding, walks, and clean up), but I'm definitely open to working with other pets. For household services, I can cook, clean, do laundry, and lightly organize.

Booked by 10 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Catalina, I offer childcare, pet care, and household services. While my first language is Spanish, I am actively learning English to improve my communication skills. I’m currently taking online English classes to become more confident in conversation. I absolutely love being around children of all ages, from infants to toddlers, and I take great joy in seeing them grow and thrive. I am a loving, energetic, and active person, and I enjoy spending time outdoors with kids—whether it’s engaging in fun activities or creative projects that help nurture their imagination. I have extensive experience caring for my cousins and friends’ children, and I also have a strong knowledge of nutrition, which allows me to ensure the overall well-being of the children in my care. I’m highly responsible, always on time, and dependable. I can drive, cook, clean, and run errands as needed.

“We’ve hired Catalina as an extra kids helper for our church’s gatherings multiple times, so we’ve had the opportunity to watch her first-hand with our kids. Catalina is on-time, kind, and responsive. She engages with kids in a naturally warm and helpful way, and communicates well with parents and volunteers, too. We'll definitely hire Catalina again!”

Booked by 84 families in San Francisco, CA

Hello! My name is Shaden. I’m 29 years old, a Culinary Arts student, and I speak both Spanish and English. I would describe myself as an honest, responsible, and caring person. I have several years of childcare experience, including over 4 years working with the same family here in San Francisco, plus many years of babysitting experience back in my hometown. I started caring for their youngest when he was just 4 months old, while also helping with his older brother and sister, who were 6 and 8 at the time. Today they are 4, 10, and 12, and it has been such a special experience growing alongside them through every stage. I originally came to San Francisco as an au pair in 2022, and after completing my program, I continued working with the same family as their nanny while studying. In my free time, I’ve also completed many babysitting jobs with local families, building strong connections in the community with 100+ bookings and 50+ positive reviews. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I love creating a safe, fun, and loving environment. I can help with school drop-offs, activities, homework, meal prep, bath and bedtime routines, outdoor play, and engaging creative activities. I’m warm, responsible, patient, and energetic, and I truly enjoy helping children grow while making parents feel supported and at ease

“I highly recommend Shaden! We had a brief call to meet her the night before the booking. She arrived on time (actually a little early and she waited for the extacr time) for a very early morning booking, she was kind and professional. I immediately felt at ease with her, especially since my son was still sleeping. She drove him in her car to his camp and everything went very smoothly. I would definitely hire her again. Thanks Shaden!”

Hi! My name is Mariana, I’m an art student and childcare provider with 6+ years of experience currently offering backup care and occasional babysitting. Also open to pet sit! (I’m a dog owner and lover hehe). I’m a responsible, dedicated and experienced professional nanny with a background in art education - very creative and patient. I absolutely love working with kids and have been watching infants through toddlerhood and kids - including siblings and experience in a nanny share set up. My responsibilities have included driving to/ from school and activities, museum/ library/ parks visits, arts and crafts and help with school projects/ homework. My job also involves cooking/ cleaning after the kids and running errands for the families if need to. I’m originally from Brazil and I love traveling and learn new cultures. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and I’m learning Italian. I can adapt and learn with ease. Currently I have a fix schedule with a couple of families and looking forward working with new amazing families either in a regular basis or occasionally. Open to last minute backup care if I’m available - i keep my calendar up to date. Happy to schedule phone/ video interviews and I do my best to keep parents comfortable while their kiddos are on my care! Thank you :)

“It was my first time leaving my baby with someone and Mariana eased all my worries and handled everything (including bedtime) like a pro! ”
