Hi! I’m a reliable, warm, and experienced caregiver with a background in childcare, pet care, and customer-focused roles. I am a single mother of 3 amazing adult children. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, playtime, bedtime routines, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m attentive, patient, and love engaging kids with creative activities, outdoor time, and age-appropriate play. In addition to childcare, I’m very comfortable with pets (I’m a cat owner!) and happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, meal prep, or organizing. I’ve worked in management roles, so I’m highly dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—families can count on me to show up on time and follow instructions carefully. I’m currently looking for morning or part-time opportunities and would love to support a family who values a kind, responsible, and trustworthy sitter.
I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with one year of hands-on experience working with children with disabilities. As a Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT), I am trained in implementing behavior intervention plans, supporting skill development, and creating structured, positive environments that help children thrive. My background has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of individualized care. I have experience working closely with families, therapists, and other professionals to ensure consistent support and progress. Through my work, I’ve developed strong communication skills, the ability to remain calm under pressure, and a deep understanding of behavior management strategies. I am attentive, organized, and committed to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to working with children, I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks to help families maintain a smooth daily routine. My goal as a caregiver is always to provide support that promotes independence, confidence, and overall well-being.
Hi, I'm Wendi--a really fun sitter who has worked with kids of all ages for over twenty years. I'm also a mom who has had a fantastic time raising four kids in SF. I love working with groups of kids and was a Nursery Director for seventeen years caring for children from birth to age three. Currently, I teach first and second-grade at a public charter school which led me into the adventure of homeschooling my 13-year-old daughter. Some of my favorite things to do with kids are read, bake, explore Golden Gate Park, and play board games. I have also facilitated regular parenting classes dealing with topics such as anxiety in the home, choosing the right SF school for your child, and how to bring "play" into your daily routines. Your kids will be safe and have tons of fun. I look forward to meeting you.
“Wendi was fantastic! I try not to leave the kiddo with a new person when I need him to be put through the bedtime routine, but we were in a pinch. Wendi took the job on short notice answering saved the day!”
Hello there! I’ve been working as a teacher for children for the past 10 years or so, and I’ve worked as a babysitter/nanny several times as well. I love at home activities like arts & crafts, cooking, or reading/writing, but I also enjoy field trips away from home to get kids running around. I’ve worked with all kinds of kids and students so I’m pretty adaptable to most settings. I’ve worked abroad in the past as well , so I have many cultural experiences to share. 广东话没事 国语还可以 日本語も少し話せます I have a bit of a fur allergy though, so unfortunately I’m not great with pets. Mainly looking for part time work. Thanks so much for your consideration!
“Michelle was great! She quickly got Gia to calm down and read her books before bedtime. Will happily hire again!”
Hi! I’m Kym! I’m 23, originally from Ohio, and moved to SF about a year ago for my job at the Levi’s home office. Outside of my corporate 9-5, spending time with kids is one of my favorite ways to step out of the work bubble! I’ve been babysitting for ~6 years and have regularly cared for multiple families, with kids ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I’m super comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and schedules, and really meeting each kid where they’re at! A little about my experience: - Ages: 3 months–12 years - Special needs: G-tube care, severe allergies, ASD - Certifications: REACH certified + CPR certified Availability: I’m available any time outside of 9-5 M-F. I’m open to evening/date-night sitting, weekend help, and occasional care! A little more about me: I love cooking, thrifting/fashion, music festivals, taking corepower classes, and soccer/futsal! If you think we could be a good fit, I’d love to connect! I’m happy to share strong references, social media, vax records, or any other info that would be helpful. 💝
“Kym was great! Our daughter loved her right away, and Kym jumped right in and made her feel comfortable. She was warm, easygoing, and clearly great with kids. We’ll definitely have Kym back!”
