Ysabella $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi- My name is Bella. I work Monday- Thursday and am looking for a babysitting job for Fridays. I am the oldest of 3 and started babysitting when I was 15. I have 10+ years of experience with ages 4 months and up. I have 7 yrs of experience working with children with Downs Syndrome as well. I am comfortable with kids going through periods of being fussy or having a hard time being away from their parents. I like to keep them engaged with whatever fits their developmental stage whether that be reading books, singing, going to the park, or playing games around the house. If the kids have chores or responsibilities around the house I will make sure they get done if needed. I am CRP and first aid certified and have had experience with medical emergencies. Those moments showed me the importance of being trained in life saving procedures. I am proud to say in those moments my training helped me stay calm and take appropriate action. I have a Honda Civic and don’t mind taking kids places or running errands. I am open to light house keeping like dishes, laundry, and cooking. I grew up in Petaluma and am very close with my family. In my free time I enjoy exploring the city, hiking, and hanging out with friends.

Hi there my name is Courtney! I just moved from Seattle to San Francisco and looking for work as a caregiver. I’ve been working in childcare for over ten years, and have my degree in early childhood education. I’m also a certified newborn care specialist and post partum doula!

Booked by 9 families in Brisbane, CA

Hi! I’m a nurse based in San Francisco with 14+ years of babysitting and nannying experience. I currently work at a pediatric urgent care on the weekends. I’m looking for local families who may need occasional help for date nights, full Time/part time, weekends, or just a few hours to recharge! I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers and have been with my current family since their twins were just 3 months old (they’re now three!). I’m also happy to assist with dog-sitting, light organizing, and transportation to activities like sports practices, tutoring sessions, or even trips to the zoo! I’ve also assisted in supervising during birthday parties (ie. Extra set of eyes on the pool, and surroundings) ad well as events to keep the children entertained while still being in the vicinity of parents. I have my own reliable car for transportation needs. I am CPR-certified (infant, child, and adult), First Aid certified, PALS and ACLS certified, and also trained as a doula. I have one year of experience working in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), so I’m very comfortable handling a range of childcare needs with a calm, safety-first approach. My schedule varies slightly with my current roles, so flexibility (with notice) is important. I love building lasting relationships with families and would be happy to share my availability, experience, and references upon request. The best way to connect with me is by phone, as that’s where I communicate and rebooking with all my families. Looking forward to hearing from you! ** I typically communicate through the app but respond better via text as a lot of notifications get missed and easier to rebook** Thank You, Saoirse

Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’d love to connect! I just started using this app, so my reviews are still building, but I’ve been caring for children since around 2020. I’m happy to share references or answer any questions to help you feel comfortable. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience raising my own children and more than 5 years in professional caregiving, I specialize in nurturing, patient, and attentive care for children of all ages including newborns.

I bring professionalism, kindness, and care to everything I do, and I believe in creating calm, supportive systems that make family life a little easier.

Cate $25 per hour for 1 child

Having just completed my master's degree in Global Health, I have recently moved to San Francisco and am looking to work in childcare while I get settled. I have steadily watched children of all ages (anywhere from 4 months to 11 years) since I was a young teenager. I last worked as an after-school nanny to a five-year-old boy while I was getting my undergraduate degree in Washington, DC. I have also worked as an English literacy tutor for kindergarteners. I genuinely adore children, and would love to help your family out! I am also happy to provide references. In my free time, I love to practice yoga, rock climb, cook, and explore the city's parks and museums.
