I’m an experienced educator and caregiver based in San Francisco, bringing an unique blend of teaching, outdoor education, and enrichment-based childcare. I currently work at a private school as an Extended Day Program Teacher and Technology Co-Teacher, where I support students’ social-emotional growth while teaching coding, animation, and digital literacy to elementary-aged children. My background includes working as a Naturalist and Camp Leader, where I led outdoor education programs, facilitated team-building on ropes courses, and designed engaging, hands-on curriculum in science, history, and environmental stewardship. I’ve worked with groups of all sizes—from small cohorts to over 100 students—and am confident managing a wide range of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I specialize in creating structured, play-based experiences that keep kids engaged, curious, and supported. Whether it’s STEM projects, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental needs. I also speak Mandarin and have experience supporting multilingual learners. With certifications in Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and AED, plus my own reliable vehicle, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I create meaningful, fun, and enriching experiences for every child I work with.

Hi! My name is Grace and I work in interior design and live in San Francisco. I have been babysitting since I was 14 and have primarily watched children ages 1-9. I spent one year as a live in au pair in Italy and enjoy childcare, pet care and general household assistant roles. I love bonding with children, playing, running errands and cooking and am excited to be around any and all pets. I always maintain a tidy home and am happy to help out with household chores. My availability is generally limited to evenings and weekends. Ask me anything:)
“Absolutely recommend Grace to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and fun sitter. She cared for my 2 month and 5 year old for an all day affair, and the older one cannot wait for Grace to come over again. 10/10! ”
Hello! My name is Jadyn, I am 26 years old I currently work as a legal assistant. I am looking for part-time nannying jobs. I have been looking after/taking care of children since high school as camp staff and working with families with kids ranging from 1yr - 12yrs old.

Hello there! My name is Samantha and live in the 94112 area. I’m fluent in Spanish, French, and English. I know elementary-level Italian and ASL. I’m a first year at Santa Clara University, and I studied abroad in France 2 years ago and lived with a host family. That was an incredible experience! I’m excited to offer childcare and house sitting services. As a caregiver, my main roles include: - language conversations/lessons (Spanish, French, English) - help with light household chores (like organizing, cleaning up play areas) - Making arts & crafts with your child(ren) - Playing games/board games with them - preparing meals or snacks - assisting with homework/tutoring - supervising outdoor play ~and anything else requested!~ I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and love spending time with kids. For the past four years, I’ve worked as an assistant teacher for a summer program in SF, teaching 7th and 9th grade STEM classes. When I’m not taking care of others, I enjoy baking, arts & crafts making, playing board games and card games, watching movies, playing soccer, ceramics, traveling, and exploring the city. I hope you’re interested in what I have to offer! Let me know if you have any questions.
