My name is Leah, and I’d be happy to help out with your kiddos! A little about me — I’m a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, California, and recently moved to San Francisco. I’ve worked with children for many years as a camp counselor, tutor, and behavior interventionist for children with special needs. I also have several years of experience as a medical assistant, so I’m CPR-certified and have strong medical knowledge. I’ve been babysitting for about three years and have worked with kids of all ages. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, or extracurricular activities. I love being outdoors and doing creative projects like arts and crafts. My schedule is very flexible, and I have a car for any transportation needs. I’d be glad to provide additional information or references — I look forward to meeting you and your family!
Hi! I’m Irati! I’m a 3rd grade teacher and I absolutely love working with kids. I’m originally from Spain and I’m currently living and teaching in California. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. I have a lot of experience with children in different settings. I’ve worked as a teacher, an au pair, a summer camp counselor, and a lifeguard. I also grew up surrounded by kids and have 10 nieces and nephews (my cousins’ children) who I’ve helped take care of since they were little. They are now between 3 and 16 years old, so I’m very comfortable with different ages and stages! Being a teacher has also taught me to be patient, responsible, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m comfortable helping with homework, reading, crafts, games, outdoor activities, meals, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged and having fun. I’m also very used to handling different personalities and situations calmly. I’m a caring and easygoing person, but I also understand the importance of routines, boundaries, and safety. As a former lifeguard, safety has always been especially important to me. My goal is for children to feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their parents are away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can trust and rely on!
Hello! My name is Alondra, I recently graduated from UCR and now back in San Francisco. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and all of my jobs have been working with kids. In high school I was an after school teacher/counselor and for summer I was a summer program teacher. In college I was a tutor for an elementary student and taught them Spanish. I am also a dog owner so I would also be able to take care of your pets.
Hi parents/families! My name is Kara and I’m searching for occasional or regular part-time opportunities for childcare or pet care in San Francisco. I’m a 23yo grad student at USF and am currently located in outer Sunset, and can reasonably commute to most places in the city. I make my own schedule so I am flexible to work most weekdays or weekends. Though I’m new to this app, I have worked with children of all ages for the past 5 years, ranging 4mo to 12yrs. I was previously a full time nanny to three children and have worked with many families in sf. I am CPR and first aid certified. I’m happy to provide references upon request! I am also a lifelong pet owner and have been caring for dogs/cats my whole life and am open to pet care positions! I would love to meet/work with your family :)
I’m a caring, patient, and responsible mother of two with hands-on childcare experience, including nannying and volunteering in children’s ministry at my church. I also have experience volunteering with children at a Christian school and USF children’s programs. I’m CPR certified and understand the importance of providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for children. As a parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone who is dependable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. I’m comfortable caring for children of different ages and assisting with playtime, meals, homework, school routines, and age-appropriate activities. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, such as tidying play areas, preparing simple meals, and keeping things organized. I’m calm, organized, punctual, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences. My goal is to create a positive and comfortable environment where children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m looking for a part-time nanny or childcare position where I can build a consistent, trusting relationship with a family.
