If the booking was not made with a set hard end time, I ask that you please accept a fee of $50. Hello! My name is Kaia. I believe it takes a village to raise a child. Being raised by a single parent myself, I am passionate about serving families in my community who need extra childcare support. Queer and trans friendly. While I believe *all* family styles deserve proper childcare, households close to a BART station/commuter friendly are more convenient for me right now.
š Hi! Iām a native San Franciscan back after twenty years in Hawaii. I began my nannying career in Y2K, and have cared for little ones (newborns- 5 years) since then in San Francisco, Marin, and Maui. š£ Over the years, Iāve had the privilege of nurturing children from infancy through adolescence, including my goddaughter, who is aspirationally kind and thoughtful. 𩵠I bring an empathetic, warm, and grounded presence into the home, and always try to grow the giggles! I aim to create a safe, loving environment for children to feel confident, secure, and seen. šØ Trained in ballet, hula, acting, and visual arts, I love to encourage imagination and creative self-expression. š¬ With a background in public relations, Iām highly communicative, discreet, organized, and dependable. 𦺠My driver license, vaccination records (COVID x2/ MMR/ Tdap), and background checks (LiveScan, Checkr) are available upon request. āļø I'm able to travel with your family (USA Passport/ CLEAR/ TSA Pre-Check), and am available for overnights. šø Please feel free to message me about availability, rates, or anything else; I can usually reply immediately. I look forward to connecting with your family! Aloha! **For the health and safety of all the children and families I work with, Iām unable to care for those actively sick with highly contagious illnesses such as HF&M, RSV, flu, pink eye, COVID, etc. Thank you for understanding.

Hi, Iām Cynthia! Iām a reliable, energetic caregiver with years of experience caring for children from toddlers through elementary age kids. Iāve worked with families in both Washington, DC and San Francisco, providing consistent, trusted support for busy parents. I currently work part-time as a consultant, so I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with kids. Caregiving is something I choose to do because I love itānot just as a job, but as a way to stay engaged, active, and connected. I especially enjoy working with curious preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3ā6 are my favorite!). My style is hands-on and interactiveāI prioritize play, creativity, and outdoor time over screens. Whether itās building forts, doing puzzles and Legos, reading together, or heading to the park, I bring a high level of energy and engagement. I also have some experience supporting children with ADD/ADHD and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. Outside of caregiving, Iām a long-distance runner and love staying activeāsomething that translates well to keeping up with high-energy kids who enjoy being on the move. I also volunteer as a reading tutor at a local elementary school, which has been a rewarding way to support early learning. (Fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified.)
Hi! Iām Karina. I went to college at UC San Diego and since graduating in 2013 Iāve worked in both preschool and elementary schools. I was a Behavioral Health/Case Manager at two SFUSD elementary schools. Before that, I spent many years as the after school Program Manager at an SFUSD elementary school. I have been babysitting since I was a teen and genuinely enjoy being with kids. Some of my favorite activities with children include arts & crafts, playing board games, imaginative play and reading. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dancing and taking long walks. Iām interested in occasional babysitting opportunities. Thanks!
āKarina helped us care for an elderly neighbor with dementia for a couple of days while their primary caregiver was unavailable. Across several interactions, from an initial visit to the engagement over a couple of days, Karina was communicative, reliable, and thoughtful. I especially appreciated her detail orientation and caregiving approach. Highly recommend! ā
