I drive my own car, car seat installed with a clean license so can do drop off and pick up when needed . I’m pretty familiar with parks , aquarium , zoo and all those fun places for kids . I am fully Covid/ flu vaccinated . Look forward to hearing from you ,
“Noreen helped us with my 2 year old. She was so great taking her to the park and sending me pictures. She was so so sweet with my daughter. She was also able to bring her grandson along one day and they made great friends. Noreen is a Godsend. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
Hello! My name is Daisy and I offer child care and even pet care too. I am a recent college graduate living here in San Francisco, specifically in the Outer Sunset. I have been babysitting since I was sixteen years old, from babies less than one to eleven year olds. My responsibilities have included playing with the kids, reading, and light cooking and cleaning. I love keeping kids engaged such as playing in the park, playing games or reading books. I make sure to keep kids entertained, while maintaining a clean environment.
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.”
I am newly retired and looking to be a family/personal assistant. I love working with children and seniors. Part-time work is ideal. I am happy to assist with errands. I reside in Noe Valley and have access to an auto. Looking forward to being your "go to and in a pickle assistant".
I have twenty-plus years of experience as a single mother raising my son. I live in San Francisco, and I currently work as an ILS Coach / Program Leader in the Bay Area. I coach adults with developmental disabilities. I teach clients how to live independently. I coach them on how to prepare healthy meals, learn life skills such as budgeting, and find employment. I truly love helping people to grow and thrive in their lives.
