Hi, I'm Michelle! I've been working with young children for over 10 years, from summer camps, to babysitting, to working in preschools. I have two years of formal full-time teaching experience, plus many years of volunteer experience in Extended School Year programs for children with disabilities. I have also taught drama and musical theatre to young children. My first priority is making sure children feel safe and supported, and I look to strike a balance between fun activities, and calm moments to decompress. My background in preschool classroom environments helps me to stay calm in moments of transition, and has provided me many positive guidance tools to help children regulate their emotions and express their needs. I am also happy to provide pet care and household cleaning/assistance as needed. I'm originally from New York, grew up in New Jersey, and now live in San Francisco's beautiful Inner Richmond with my partner and our rambunctious dog, Maisy. I speak conversational Italian, love to sing, and have a degree in Theatre. In my spare time, I can be found outdoors with my dog, cooking, doing yoga, and playing ice hockey recreationally. I look forward to meeting you!
“Michelle saved us with a last-minute booking when another sitter cancelled. She was very prompt, responsive, and clear with her communication. She was kind and engaging immediately with the kids (ages 2 & 4); very thoughtful and helpful. Did a great job keeping it fun while redirecting some rowdier kid energy. Would love to have her another time!”
I'm a college neuroscience student starting summer break hoping to catch some babysitting/nanny jobs outside of my research internship hours. I have four years of babysitting experience with up to six children at a time and a variety of ages from infant to elementary school. I am a neuroscience TA so I know how to teach and help with homework, and I volunteer with kids at California Academy of Sciences. I am CPR/BLS and first aid certified! Let's connect :)
I'm a full-time professional and mom to a wonderful 22-year-old daughter, with years of hands-on experience supporting others—whether through parenting, helping aging relatives, or caring for pets. I'm now looking to give back to my community by offering caregiving and household help in my free time. I’m known for being reliable, warm, and thoughtful. I bring both energy and empathy to everything I do, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people of all ages. Whether it’s assisting with errands, offering companionship to seniors, or helping maintain a calm and organized home, I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also bring a set of professional skills that translate well into caregiving: I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and analytical. I listen closely, anticipate needs, and follow through with care. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, exploring the city, and finding new ways to support and connect with my community.
Hi! I’m an energetic, easygoing, and very patient caregiver with lots of experience caring for kids of all ages — especially preschoolers. I started helping with younger children in after-school programs since I was 11. I’m great at keeping things fun, hands-on, and engaging while still being reliable and communicative with parents. Professionally, I worked as a summer camp counselor for two years with age ranges as young as 3 and as old as 11. During busy weeks, I successfully managed groups of up to 18 children and consistently received excellent reviews from parents for my attentiveness, creativity, and ability to build positive connections. Additionally, I volunteered at a children's hospital in their activities centers for 2 years as well. I’m highly communicative, flexible, and naturally a night owl, so late evening hours are a great fit for me (11pm is fine for me). I also have a day job and am comfortable with no guaranteed hours, so 1-2 times a month is perfect for me as long as dates are pre-communicated. I bring a lot of energy and patience to each job, which makes it easy for me to keep up with even the wiliest little ones. My goal is always to create a fun, nurturing environment where children feel safe and cared for while also supporting your family’s needs. I also grew up with dogs, so I am very comfortable with and am happy to assist with any pet needs as well.
“Hannah is always on time and presentable. She holds herself to a high standard and has a can-do type of personality. I appreciate that she actually puts the energy in and deeply cares about her position as a sitter. We give the highest rating possible and recommend Hannah to anyone who needs a sitter.”
Hi! My name is Bella and I am a first grade teacher in Pacific Heights. I offer babysitting, tutoring, and pet sitting. I love working with and caring for children of all ages! I started babysitting and nannying in 2015 and have lots of experience with infants, toddlers, and young children. My responsibilities while babysitting have included driving children to and from school and activities, preparing easy meals, helping children with homework and reading, tidying up, and planning fun activities. I am CPR and epinephrine-injection certified, and hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and special education. I also earned dual-teaching licenses from Regis University in Denver, CO. I have done both full-time and part-time nannying, and I’m currently available anytime after 4 pm Monday-Friday and all day/night on weekends. I am looking for something part-time (1-3 shifts per week). Unfortunately, I do not have a car, and would prefer to not have to drive. Please let me know if you’re interested if you have any questions about me! Thanks so much! 😊
