Olivia $31 per hour for 1 child
Hello, I'm Olivia! I work in healthcare and love working with families. I'm reliable and I have firm boundaries. I'm curious and one hundred percent engaged. Happy to help with homework, run errands, cook, do chores and of course spend time with your kids. I want to support in any way that I can because being a parent is hard. I'm available after 5pm on weekdays. I like some flexibility on weekends will room for accommodation.

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. ”

Hi my name is Jaime. I’m currently a paraeducator at a high school school in the San Francisco Unified School District. I am offering child services. I love working with kids and I have experience with kids with disabilities for 3 years. I have a decade of experience working with infants and toddlers. I feel comfortable working with pets, I have a cat myself. I can help out around the household. I’m detail oriented, patient and caring.
“Jaime is amazing! We have a 3 year old and a 5 year old and they both love him and he’s so great with them. We work weird hours some days so it’s hard to find someone that’s reliable, but he’s perfect! He’s on top of their napping/sleep schedule, their eating schedule, he makes sure they brush their teeth and go potty before bed, the list goes on. They’re so energetic and he so patient with them and knows how to keep them entertained! The kids always look forward to him babysitting. We have nothing but great things to say about him!”

I have worked with kids 5 months - 10 years old. I like to do laundry (wash, fold, put away) and dishes. I have some experience caring for a senior as well, so am open to various opportunities.
