Kayla 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been working with children since I was 13 and have experience in a wide range of childcare roles, including part-time babysitter, full-time nanny, daycare assistant, and camp counselor. I’m also an aunt to four amazing kids, which has deepened my love for caring for children of all ages. I consider myself caring, fun-loving, and dependable, and I value creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids. I currently work part-time virtually as a therapist and hold a Master’s degree in Social Work. Along with my professional background, I’m drawn to babysitting as a way to connect with others and provide meaningful, in-person care. I take pride in being someone families can trust and children enjoy spending time with.

“Kayla watched my 4-year-old, Jameson, regularly, and I am being 100% serious when I say this woman saved our marriage, our sanity, and possibly society at large. The moment she entered our lives, our household went from complete chaos to running smoothly. She is preternaturally patient, unfailingly reliable, and somehow both calm and magical with kids. Like how is that possible? Jameson was obsessed with her. She truly feels like part of our family. I would recommend Kayla to anyone with a pulse. If you can book her, do it immediately.”

Booked by 1 family in Brisbane, CA

Hi! My name is Grace and I work in interior design and live in San Francisco. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have primarily watched children ages 1-9. I spent one year as a live in au pair in Italy and enjoy childcare, pet care and general household assistant roles. I love bonding with children, playing, running errands and cooking and am excited to be around any and all pets. I always maintain a tidy home and am happy to help out with household chores. My availability is generally limited to evenings and weekends. Ask me anything:)

“Absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and fun sitter. She cared for my 2 month and 5 year old for an all day affair, and the older one cannot wait for Grace to come over again. 10/10! ”

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 27 and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with kids of all ages and am comfortable caring for everyone from little ones to older kids. I work full-time during the day, so I’m typically available for evening babysitting from around 5–11pm. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained while you enjoy a night out! In my free time, I love reading, making art, and staying active and playing sports, and I’m always happy to incorporate those interests into activities with the kids I babysit. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment for kids while making sure parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
