Michael $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Michael! I am currently an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who spends a lot of time working with kids, loves animals, and lives in the Outer Sunset! As a therapist, I work with kids of all ages and backgrounds. I have experience working with Autism and ADHD. I am currently looking to make some extra money while I pursue licensure as a therapist and would love to support my community by helping them care for the kids and pets they love! In my free time, I love to read, go on runs, play video games, and spend time with my girlfriend and our dog, Betty. I like to have fun and keep things light. I would be happy to help you with babysitting, pet-sitting, dog-walking, house-cleaning, whatever!

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am looking for a child care / household service job during the weekdays afternoons and weekends. I have Associate Education in Hospitality management and B.S degree in Accounting. I have experiences work for 2-3 families as a mother’s helper. I live in SSF with my husband and daughter. I’m a non-smoker, non- alcoholic person. I used to be a full time mom. I took care of my daughter since she was born until she went to 2nd grade. Through the time with my daughter, I learned how to raise a happy, loving, curious, positive, kind, and confident child. I think build a strong growth mindset at early age is very important. Building a good foundation of reading and math skills will help kids to learn better and achieve academic success in the future. I volunteered at a nursery school when my daughter attended that school. I enjoyed the time with children. I prepared meals/ snacks for them, I watched them to play in the playground, feed the rabbits / chickens. I helped them to do crafts, drawing, story time, and play game. It was a great experience for me. The earlier child development is very important as 99% of brain developed before they turning 5 years old. Good eating habits, sleeping routine, quality activities, and reading are very important for children. I love kids. I like to read books to kids, bring kids outside to play, take kids to the park, museums,or library. In my spare time, I like sleeping, hiking, reading, coloring, planting, cuddling my cats. I speak English, Chinese Mandarin, and I understand Cantonese.

Selome $30 per hour for 1 child

My name is Selome. I am a mother and a wife originally from Ethiopia, and I come from a large family. Over the past seven years, I have dedicated my career to working with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I have experience at a childcare center that serves children from infancy through 13 years old. In this role, I worked in the preschool section with infants and toddlers, as well as in the after-school program for kindergarten through 6th grade. I hold over 12 units of early childhood education certificates and trainings, and I am CPR certified. My experience with infants and toddlers includes essential tasks such as changing diapers and maintaining their cleanliness, feeding them, and providing consistent, healthy sleep routines. I prioritize playtime and engage them in age-appropriate activities, such as visiting the park and participating in hands-on fun that promotes fine motor skills. With older children, I not only organize enjoyable indoor and outdoor activities but also read to them and assist with their schoolwork, fostering a supportive and enriching environment. I have a deep love for animals. I cherished a beautiful dog named Spanky, who was with me for 16 wonderful years until he passed away. Currently, I have two lovely cats named Sophi and Cammy, who have been part of my family for the past 10 years. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them and playing together.
