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!
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.
Hi! I’m Evelyn, a childcare professional with over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-age kids.

Hi! My name is Pamela, I’m from Brazil and currently living in the U.S. I’ve been working with children since I was 14, taking care of kids of different ages. I usually do activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, reading time, and helping with homework. I’m CPR certified, responsible, caring, and always make sure children feel safe, loved, and happy.
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.
