I’m a warm, reliable, and organized caregiver with hands-on experience caring for young children. As a parent of a preschool-aged child, I’m very familiar with preschool routines, school pick-up and drop-off, meals and snacks, bath and bedtime routines, reading, crafts, imaginative play, outdoor activities, and helping children navigate transitions and big feelings with patience. I am also good at organizing safe, easy-to-use, and clean environments for families. In addition to caring for my own child, I’ve also looked after toddlers and young children for family members and friends on various occasions. I enjoy creating a calm, positive environment where children feel comfortable, can play, and can follow familiar routines. I hold a B.A. in Comparative Culture from Sophia University in Tokyo, where I studied in an internationally focused academic environment. I’ve also had exposure to early childhood education through helping my aunt, who runs a Montessori preschool. That experience helped me appreciate child-led learning, independence, creativity, and the importance of creating a supportive environment for young children. Professionally, I have worked in education, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and sense of responsibility. I’m currently studying in a part-time online graduate school program, which gives me flexibility for occasional babysitting. I speak both English and Japanese and would be happy to incorporate Japanese books, songs, language, or cultural activities for any family interested. I love learning about foreign cultures and have learned beginner Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin. I also lived in Singapore for 7 years before and familiar with different countries’ culture in APAC. I’m also experienced and comfortable caring for pets, including dog-sitting and cat-sitting for family and friends. I’m especially interested in occasional babysitting, date nights, weekends, and backup care. I have a car with a child seat so that I can help with drop-offs and pick-ups as well.
“Emiko was really engaging with Lucy! They went to the park, played games, and generally just had fun. Lucy even ate her veggies! We highly recommend Emiko. ”
Hi! My name is Melissa and I’m a full-time healthcare professional working in San Francisco. I offer evening and weekend babysitting for families who need reliable care for date nights or occasional help. I have several years of babysitting experience and truly enjoy spending time with kids. I’m comfortable helping with dinner, playtime, reading, and bedtime routines, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment while parents are away. Families describe me as responsible, patient, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I always strive to make evenings smooth and stress-free for everyone. I’m based in Mission Bay and happy to help families in nearby neighborhoods such as Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, SoMa, and surrounding areas. I’m also comfortable with pets and light tidying after activities. Looking forward to helping families enjoy a worry-free night out!
“She is simply the best! My toddler daughter loved every second she spent with Melissa!”
~ Former AU PAIR ~ Hi families! I’m Kacper, 27, originally from Poland. I live in Noe Valley. I’m currently working on my Associate degree in Psychology before transferring to Bachelor in Cognitive Science. Experience: I’ve babysat in Poland, worked as an au pair for twin 4-year-old girls during my first year, and two boys (6 and 9 years old) on second year. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I create a safe and fun environment while also respecting your parenting style. I have a car and I’m okay with driving your kids. I’m happy to share more references from families I’ve worked with on the Bambino app. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 🙂
“Punctual, friendly and great communication! Thank you Kacper! ”
My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.
“Our daughter had a great time with Zazie!”
Hi! My name is Alexis, and I’m a third-year Psychology major at the University of San Francisco. I have a deep passion for working with children, which began when I was twelve years old. With over six years of experience, I’ve cared for kids ranging in age from 9 months to 13 years. I’m comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities, from engaging in creative play and helping with homework to maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I’m CPR certified and trained in AED and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority in my care.
“Alexis was great. My two kiddos had a good time. ”
