Rilee $35 per hour for 1 child

Nice to meet you, I am Rilee! I have a strong passion for working with children of all ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Child Development and a Master’s degree in Education, which have given me both the knowledge and hands-on skills to support children’s growth, learning, and well-being. After graduating from college, I worked as a full-time nanny for three years with one wonderful family, where I built a strong, lasting relationship and gained valuable experience in daily care, routines, and developmental support. I then transitioned into teaching where I have been the last seven years in elementary, and currently I teach 3rd grade. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and safety is always my top priority. I am reliable, patient, and love creating fun, enriching experiences. I will be available for babysitting starting June 15 when my summer officially kicks off.

Sohyung Gabriella $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi! My name is Sohyung, and I’m an international medical graduate currently living in San Francisco. I moved here with my husband and am currently studying for my U.S. medical board exams while looking for a meaningful part-time position. I was born in Korea, grew up in Canada, and have lived in several countries including Hungary, where I completed medical school. Growing up with a younger sister who was born when I was 13, I naturally took on a caregiving role from a young age. I’ve also worked part-time as an English teacher for children during university, which strengthened my love for working with kids. I am calm, responsible, and attentive, with a strong understanding of child development and safety due to my medical training. I genuinely enjoy engaging with children through creative play, reading, and educational activities. I would love to support your family in a reliable and caring way. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Grace $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Grace! I am currently working toward becoming a social studies teacher and am attending SF State's credential and masters program. I have ten years of experience in childcare and nannying, ranging from newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids to preteens. I started babysitting in high school, have held summer nannying positions for multiple children, served and trained as a summer camp counselor, and also worked part time as a preschool teacher for a few years. I have held certifications in First Aid and CPR for several years as well! Some of my past childcare work has included: creating engaging and activity-filled themed weeks to help pass the summer days, assisting with morning routines/school drop-offs as well as afterschool care, completing overnight stays, and managing multiple siblings whose ages ranged from toddler to preteen. I am also happy to assist with household needs, petsitting (for dogs, cats, and any other beloved mammal/reptilian/bird/amphibian/fish family members), cooking, and more.

Edith $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Edith, and I’m a mom of three children (ages 6, 4, and 1). I’m offering child care, senior care, and pet care. I love working with children and have hands-on experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids through raising my own children and supporting other families. My experience includes feeding, diapering, naps, school routines, homework help, and engaging kids in reading, crafts, painting, dancing, and imaginative play. I encourage and uplift kids so they feel confident in who they are and what they love. I also have experience providing companion care for seniors, including helping with daily routines, meal preparation, errands, and offering meaningful companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful, and I enjoy building genuine connections. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of various sizes and temperaments. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I’m comfortable with larger pets and those that shed.
