With respect to the health of my clients, and myself, I do not work with contagious kids/families for occasional bookings, I'll only consider sick care for longer term jobs. Hi parents!

Hi, My name is Guadalupe! I enjoy babysitting and have experience taking care of infants, toddlers, kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included getting kids ready for school, assisting with morning & night routines, reading books, crafting, baking and light house work. I have worked with 6-17 years old for the past 5 years through San Francisco local non-profits and after school programs. I have volunteered at various San Francisco Early Childhood Education Head-start programming for kids ages 3-5 years old for 4 years. I am a proud aunt to twin nieces ❤️ CPR trained and certified! I speak both Spanish and English and am able to practice these languages with your kid(s). A few strong traits that I hold are patience, active listening and energetic. I believe kids should have someone who is willing to understand their needs as well as guidance and have fun while being safe! Looking forward to assisting you in anyway possible. Thank you for your time!
“Wonderful with my kids. Always on time. Sings, plays, reads, and cleans up all while keeping up with our insane schedule to get out of the house every morning. Such a big help!!”
Hello my name is Katie I am a native San Franciscan I will be returning to school to pursue a degree in nursing (hopefully to eventually work in pediatrics) after working in public accounting for the last few years. I started babysitting while I was a teenager and continued through college and beyond. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair living with a family and taking care of their two girls. I have experience with newborns, teenagers and every age in between. Outside of working, I enjoy traveling the world and being outdoors. In the last few years I have completed 121km (74 miles) of the Camino de Santiago, seen Machu Picchu and will be exploring South East Asia in the summer of 2026. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think I would be a great fit for your family!
“Katie was super responsive to my request for some help with my sick kiddos. She was punctual and had great communication leading up to her arrival. She hung out with my kiddos, colored, read books and played games to keep them occupied during their sick day so I could get work done. Looking forward to hiring Katie again soon!”
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! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!
“We hired Jocelyn for a one-day sitting job and she was wonderful. She arrived right on time, was polite and respectful with us, and was genuinely sweet and caring with our son. He had so much fun with her, which says everything. We'd happily have her back and recommend her to any family looking for someone kind and reliable.”
