Hi! My name is Arianna and I was born and raised in San Francisco. I recently finished my second year at the University of Denver, where I’m studying psychology. I am passionate about working with kids because I love seeing the world through their point of view and watching them grow and develop. When caring for kids, I am patient, enthusiastic, and always willing to go along with them. I have experience in caring for my younger brother as well as a family friend.
Sophia $20 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Sophia, and I am a babysitter located in San Francisco. I started babysitting in 2025 (mainly kids 5 and above) and have worked a lot with kids in the past as a camp counselor. I am able to drive kids to and from school, and I love to connect with kids through art or non-electronic games. I am very punctual and reliable, and I am very empathetic and caring. I have learned how to navigate complex emotional situations with/between kids from my experience as a camp counselor, a skill that I bring into my babysitting, and I am going to UC Santa Cruz in the fall to study Psychology and Education. I have a background in music and singing as well. I am also an animal lover, and am happy to dog / cat sit. I am also open to house sit and act as a caretaker for seniors. I have helped out with performances for a few senior choirs in the past.
Gabriela $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Gabriela, and I’ve been working with children for over 9 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I currently care for twin boys whom I’ve been with since they were 7 months old, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch them grow and reach new milestones. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn. I enjoy reading books, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, educational activities, and helping with homework. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and committed to following each family’s routines and parenting style. I’m also happy to prepare healthy meals and snacks, help with children’s laundry, keep play areas tidy, and assist with light household tasks related to the children. My goal is to give parents peace of mind by providing dependable, loving, and attentive care. I look forward to building lasting relationships with families and helping children learn, grow, and have fun every day.
