Find infant babysitters in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I'm Shak! As the eldest in a large family, childcare has been a part of my life from a young age. I began as a mother's helper in 2009 and now have 16 years of active childcare experience. I've worked primarily with newborns and toddlers, but I love working with children of all ages. I bring an empathy-first approach to every family I work with. For infants, I specialize in sleep training and mother's helper support, and I'm happy to work alongside new parents through that journey every step of the way. I also focus on early language development through textures, sounds, rhythm, and music. With toddlers, I lean into interest led play, imagination building, curiosity about the world, early reading and counting. For school-age kids and teens, I emphasize active listening, healthy boundaries, and creating safe spaces for authentic expression. I also have meaningful experience with neurodiverse children who benefit from a different level of engagement and care. And since I studied classical text and diction, I love putting that to use — making up plays, collaborative storytelling, theatre games, you name it! But I'm just as happy getting active: bike rides, fort building, kite flying at the beach, little hikes, and whatever else sparks joy. I have a very low cancellation rate. If I accept a booking I am committed and will be there. I also have a reliable vehicle. I'd love to be a part of your family's village. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hi! I'm a graduate of the University of San Francisco. I'm originally from Georgia, but I have been living in the city for 8 years now. I’ve been babysitting children since I was 14 and have volunteered at several children camps over the years. I have experience with children from 4 months to 13 years old. I’ve been working full-time in childcare for the past four years. Along with childcare, I have experience in management, retail, assistant, and food service work. I have also been driving for 9+ years with a clean record. I love children because they're full of energy and always have fun/unique perspectives on everything. I consider myself an active, caring, and energetic person. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and art!

Hi! I’m Karina. I went to college at UC San Diego and since graduating in 2013 I’ve worked in both preschool and elementary schools. I was a Behavioral Health/Case Manager at two SFUSD elementary schools. Before that, I spent many years as the after school Program Manager at an SFUSD elementary school. I have been babysitting since I was a teen and genuinely enjoy being with kids. Some of my favorite activities with children include arts & crafts, playing board games, imaginative play and reading. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dancing and taking long walks. I’m interested in occasional babysitting opportunities. Thanks!

Hi there! My name is Melanie and I am a USF graduate in Biology and Kinesiology with a concentration in Child/Youth Studies. I recently graduated from SFSU with a second degree in Nursing. I hope to be involved in pediatric emergency nursing and currently applying and interviewing for jobs. I am available for occasional and part time jobs for the time being as I look for a nursing position. I love to connect with new families and take care of their little ones! I am originally from Miami, Fl and moved out here for school. I have been here for 12 years now and plan on making CA my forever home! I am currently 30 years old, very active, independent, and get along well with kids as I come from a very big family (9 nieces and nephews whom I adore with all my heart). I also have extensive experience working with kids from being a Pre-K assistant teacher with two graduating classes, children's party host and a swim instructor/head swim coach at the JCCSF. Fun Fact about me: I was part of the CCSF intercollegiate Water Polo/Swim team while completing my pre-requisites for nursing. I am also currently into climbing and spend my free time at the climbing gym. I am flexible for most tasks, playing, feeding, bathing, bedtime, reading, outdoors play etc. I am also completely fine with any kind of pets. Feel free to reach out to me if I can be of any help to you! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Melanie **Sidenote: cash, check or square cash payments preferred, but credit ok also**

🌁 Hi! I’m a native San Franciscan back after twenty years in Hawaii. I began my nannying career in Y2K, and have cared for little ones (newborns- 5 years) since then in San Francisco, Marin, and Maui. 🐣 Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of nurturing children from infancy through adolescence, including my goddaughter, who is aspirationally kind and thoughtful. 🩵 I bring an empathetic, warm, and grounded presence into the home, and always try to grow the giggles! I aim to create a safe, loving environment for children to feel confident, secure, and seen. 🎨 Trained in ballet, hula, acting, and visual arts, I love to encourage imagination and creative self-expression. 💬 With a background in public relations, I’m highly communicative, discreet, organized, and dependable. 🦺 My driver license, vaccination records (COVID x2/ MMR/ Tdap), and background checks (LiveScan, Checkr) are available upon request. ✈️ I'm able to travel with your family (USA Passport/ CLEAR/ TSA Pre-Check), and am available for overnights. 🌸 Please feel free to message me about availability, rates, or anything else; I can usually reply immediately. I look forward to connecting with your family! Aloha! **For the health and safety of all the children and families I work with, I’m unable to care for those actively sick with highly contagious illnesses such as HF&M, RSV, flu, pink eye, COVID, etc. Thank you for understanding.
