Booked by 1 family in Brisbane, CA

Hello! My name is Chloe. I do have a day job but it tends to be very flexible, allowing me to have mornings and nights open . I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now, primarily helping with kids between the ages 4 and 10. Tasks I regularly do while babysitting are cooking, cleaning, taking the kids for some time to play outdoors, take them to and from school, etc. I also used to assistant coach soccer so I don’t mind working with large groups of kids.

Hi, my name is Kate and I am a Masters student. I offer child care, senior care, and can help with a variety of household tasks. I’ve taken care of younger siblings and cousins for many years. I went to Dartmouth College where I studied Statistics and Studio Art (painting). I have been a tutor for all subjects from elementary to high school, and have also helped many high schoolers with college essay and test prep. I can cook and have a clean drivers license. I grew up with a German Shepherd and am comfortable with dogs. My hobbies include biking, reading, singing, and painting, all of which I love to do with kids!

Natalia 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Brisbane, CA

Hello! My name is Nati :) I am an experienced childcare teacher who brings energy, warmth, and imagination to every family I work with. I’m currently a full time preschool teacher— I work primarily with 2’s and 3’s. Thus, I’m thoroughly experienced with multiple children at once!I’m also experienced with infants and older children! I'm a Yale student taking a gap year, which gives me the unique opportunity to dedicate my time to doing what I love most—working with kids! I am very artsy, love to read with kids, and am super-super playful!I believe in fostering a positive and supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. My time at Yale has also taught me the importance of curiosity and critical thinking—qualities I aim to inspire in the kids I work with. My other experience: I grew up in a home with young children and have babysitted since I was 13 years old. I have three years of professional experience working as the Youngest Campers Lead (ages 4-6) at Steve & Kate's Camp (a day camp) during the summer and winter breaks. When I’m not working with children, I love baking, reading, and going on hikes. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified and skilled at managing busy schedules. I love to clean, cook, and play at the same time! I know that managing kids can be a handful, and I'd love to help you in any way I can!

“Very professional! Natalia was so great, she was very prompt, reliable, and caring. I would recommend Natalia to anyone with an infant because she’s very knowledgeable about what to expect according to their age and development (at 9 months of age in my case), and was very optimistic and positive. She was very empathetic and operated exactly according to my needs! ”

Lisa 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

I specialize in caregiving for children, ages 3–13, offering a calm, mature, and warm presence. I enjoy playing games, arts/crafts activities, and nearby outdoor activities (park or backyard). My top goal is to create a comfortable environment where your children feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand the trust involved in inviting someone into your home and take that responsibility seriously. With years of parenting experience, I understand how to balance clear boundaries with warmth, whether guiding a younger child patiently through routines or supporting older kids in more independent stages. Additionally, I can help with: - Homework - Meal preparation and clean-up - Oversee and support evening routines - Light housekeeping - Drop-offs and pick-ups - Run errands MORE ABOUT ME I’m a long-time San Francisco resident and parent who values integrity, clear communication, and consistency. I have worked professionally as a researcher, designer/artist, and teacher. I'm often described as dependable, caring, organized, and attentive.

“Lisa has sat for my daughters, 2nd and 4th grades, several times. My girls enjoy her, and I feel that they are safe with her. She is professional and communicative, and flexible. She is tidy, kind, and patient. We will continue working with Lisa!”
