Hi I’m Sarah. 📌I just downloaded this app, so apparently I don’t have any reviews on here. But I do have reviews from care.com and references if you would like to see. I've been a nanny and teacher for about 7 years collectively. I've worked with children ranging from 2 months old to even teenagers! I can help with meal prepping, kids laundry and helping out with light housework. I like doing crafts with kids, healthy meals and snack with the kids and I could also help with homework. Some of my strengths are patience, creativity, and good organization skills. I am also fluent in both English and Thai. I am looking for a part time position, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. Please reach out if you have any questions. So excited to work with your family!
Hi! As an oldest child, I've said that I've been in childcare since I was 5 years old. More formally, I've been a sitter/nanny in varying capacities since I was 13 years old. I've worked with families with ages 4 months - 10 years old so I have experience with everything from tummy time to tutoring. Even as I joined the work force after college, I still was the go-to sitter for several families. Now, I have recently moved to the Bay and miss the joy of working with kids so am looking for part-time opportunities to connect with and support families in the area.
Hello, Families! I hope you’re well. My name is Zuziwe ( you can call me Zoozie/Zuh). I live at the Inner Richmond, Just across Golden Gate Park. I’m currently a full time Nanny of 3 kiddos ages 6, 5 & 2yrs. I’ve taken care of a 3months up to 2yrs before. I’m looking for babysitting on weekends, late afternoons & dates nights. Given the opportunity, I’d love to assist you with your Little ones! I love & enjoy caring for the little ones, I believe in engaging them in activities that stimulate their development mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m experienced in making nutritious meals for babies(purée) & kids/toddlers( I understand balanced nutrition). A little insight, I’m a bubbly, energetic, calm & clean girl in her late twenties. I believe in keeping a clean environment around me, I’m dedicated and responsible. I’d love to connect & see if we can be a match!😊 Thank you for your time.
My name is Nadia! I’m a babysitter with experience caring for children ages 2-12. I believe in the importance of listening and talking to children, without talking “down” to them. My warm and communicative approach creates positive experiences for the kids and cooperative care-taking relationships. That’s why when I worked at a summer day-camp for 4-11yo children learning English in my hometown, there was popular demand from children and their parents for me to be on-site every day. I helped ease children’s separation anxiety and made them feel comfortable and confident in an unfamiliar environment. Originally scheduled to work just 4 days over the summer, I ended up as a full-time aide. Some of my favorite activities to do with kids are baking and reading stories. I also have a good track record of getting children involved in simple, age-appropriate chores (e.g., making the bed) in a way that feels fun. I can provide references, including from parents who can attest to my ability to care for multiple kids at once. I also have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, and would be happy to provide homework help: - I have experience tutoring pre-k, elementary school, and high school students in reading, math, and test prep. - I have two years of experience as an instructor at UC Berkeley, and another three years of experience mentoring college students. - I speak English, French, Arabic, and a bit of Spanish. I love to encourage children’s multilingualism and can help with foreign language homework. I’m confident with preparing meals and snacks. I previously was a head chef at a student co-op, where my dinners got rave reviews. I still get recipe requests from former co-opers (especially my hummus recipe!). I’m happy to bring these skills to your children’s snack time. I try to incorporate learning experiences into my caregiving, and I especially enjoy working with families who value curiosity and learning. I was a National Merit Scholar in undergrad, and I recently graduated with my PhD in a social science discipline from UC Berkeley. I have a full time job scheduled to start in 2027. Until then, you can hire a (non-medical) doctor for a discount.
Hi families! I’m Zayne, a babysitter with over 5 years of hands-on experience with children from newborns to school-age, supporting their social and educational development. I love spending time with kids at parks, playgrounds, and craft spaces — creating structured, playful routines from arts & crafts to imaginative games. I observe each child’s behavior to find the best approach for them, always respecting their pace so they feel safe and comfortable. Currently available mostly on weekends and open to occasional dates. Feel free to reach out — whether it’s making your routine smoother or giving you a well-deserved date night!
