"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Cat $35 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I'm Cat! I work in after-school child care and I am highly energetic and passionate about working with kids. When working with children, I am great at having a balance between discipline and being gentle and kind. I lead with empathy and strive to understand what your child is feeling instead of reacting. I believe that everyone deserves to express their feelings even though they may not know how to express them. I love playing games, planning activities, and keeping kids engaged and off their screens! I am also a great cook and love to make healthy snacks or meals that children will enjoy. Having my own younger siblings makes me a great candidate to take care of others because I always think about how I would want my own family to be treated. I will always treat others with care and respect.
Sophia $35 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm Sophia and I've dedicated over 5 years to professional childcare, including roles at institutions such as the Sonoma State Children's School, Stanford Children's Center, and the Youth Science Institute. Currently, I'm pursuing a graduate degree in clinical mental health counseling and my goal is to become a specialized therapist for kids, combining practical experience with academic insight. I also am currently working in Class 1 at Heritage Montessori in Lake Forest. I'm deeply passionate about fostering creativity, providing a nurturing environment, and supporting the holistic well-being of the children I care for. Excited to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to your family and make a positive impact!
Olivia $28 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!
