Hello Families! My name is Natalie, I am a Registered Nurse with a passion for caring for children. I am currently in between nursing positions and working part-time as a School Nurse, where I provide one-on-one care for medically fragile students. While I transition into my next role, I am excited to offer afternoon, evening, and occasional date night childcare for families looking for dependable, compassionate support. I have over ten years of childcare experience and have found that working with children is one of my greatest passions. Whether it's engaging in play, helping with homework, maintaining routines, or providing attentive care, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I am also the oldest of six siblings, which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages-- from infancy through adolescence. This has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and an understanding of each child's unique personality and needs. As I prepare to pursue my long-term goal of becoming a Labor and Delivery nurse, I would love the opportunity to continue doing what I enjoy most: caring for children and supporting families. If you're looking for a reliable, responsible caregiver with a healthcare background, I would be happy to connect and discuss how I can help meet your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Natalie B.
Hi! I’m Abbie and I am in my junior year at San Francisco State University and I am majoring in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Elementary School Teaching and minoring in Special Education. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have worked at an after school day care (ages 5-12) for 2 years while I was in high school and at an early childhood education center (ages 2-3) while I am at school. I am also currently working at an after school program with students from TK to 8th grade. I have also babysat children of all ages numerous times since I was 14. I enjoy doing many activities with children like crafts, playing outside, reading books, playing games, etc. I have also pet sit animals including dogs, cats, and goats and I am able to walk, feed, and play with any animal. I have a standard poodle at home named Charley and petsitting might help me miss him a little less. I have housesit many times and I can clean, run errands, do laundry, organize, etc. I am CPR certified and have a valid drivers license. I am a very caring and empathetic person and I have always believed my duty in life is to help others.
I’m a Japanese-English bilingual preschool teacher with supporting young children ages 2–5. I’m patient, reliable, and skilled at guiding children through play, daily routines, and emotional support. I love creating engaging activities like stories, songs, and hands-on play that help children feel safe, confident, and understood.
Hi! My name is Santana. I look forward to meeting you. I love kids :) I was a special education teacher for seven years, with teaching experience in most grade levels. I have a masters in social work and now do direct service work with youth and parents. I also love little ones! I have a nephew who is one year old and I love spending time with him. I can also help with dogs! I have a small dog myself :)
Hello! My name is Tiara and I am an upcoming freshman at the University of San Francisco. I offer child and pet care, as well as household services. I have a lot of family with young children so I have experience in watching infants, toddlers, and kids. I also have two dogs and a hamster of my own! I enjoy taking my dogs out; I have my driver's license, so I am able to drive them to go on beach and park adventures! My responsibilities at home include washing dishes, occasional grocery shopping, keeping my room organized, taking out the trash, making meals for myself, and tending to my dogs' needs.
