Hello - My name is Alex. I am offering childcare, household and pet sitting services. I love being a babysitter and enjoy working with children. I have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids 3+ since I was 16 years old. My most recent experience includes working at an infant daycare with children ages 0-2 here in San Francisco. I enjoy creating activities for the children that combines hands on activities with play-based learning. I also enjoy taking the children outdoors - whether that includes parks, museums or the local library for story time. I love animals so I am very comfortable working with families with any pets.
Hi, I’m Olli and I’m looking to add some babysitting onto my plate! I am currently a preschool teacher in the 2’s classroom. I have experience as a teacher with 4 and 5 year olds as well. I have a car and can drive. I have my bachelors in psychology and am currently taking early childhood education classes. I love being around kids and helping them navigate the world. Familiar with diapers and potty training! :)
Hello! I'm Cassidy and I'm a junior at SFSU. I am offering child care and household services. I started babysitting a bit more than a year now, but have worked with children since I was 16 (volunteering at an elementary after-school program). I love being creative with children, so I do crafts, draw, build, and make up games with kids when I babysit them. I also have experience helping kids with homework and am happy to provide extra academic support! I can drive to the kids' appointments or anywhere needed, cook, and clean. I am allergic to cats.
Hi there- my name is Samana. I am currently living in the Marina and am open to evening / weekend babysitting opportunities. I grew up in the South Bay, have two younger siblings and lots of experience with children. In the past, have lived with families to help with kid duties & was a former camp counselor - love board games, puzzles, friendship bracelets, drawing etc. and am happy to help with infant care. I am a swimmer and am comfortable with pool safety. My full-time job is in the medical device space - looking forward to connecting soon!
Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 20 years old. I have lived in San Francisco my entire life and I attended Convent Elementary school and St. Ignatius High School. I currently attend the University of Texas where I study Finance and am on the division 1 rowing team. I am home for the summer and I am looking for some families to help out! During Covid 19, I took on a large mothers helper role for 4 girls (aged 1,3,5,7) and absolutely loved it. I love kids and am a fun, energetic, warm, and very type A/responsible person. Also, I have played almost ever sport, so I love throwing the baseball or kicking the soccer ball with young kids. I had a small baking business when I was in middle school so I still love to bake and cook if that is helpful in anyway. I have been babysitting all ages of kids on and off ever since I was 13 years old and have built many strong and trustworthy relationships with families that I have helped. I have had Golden Retrievers my whole life, so I am also great with dogs. I also have had my drivers license for 4 years and have taken a CPR certification course. Overall, I always have a great time when I babysit, and I would love the opportunity to babysit more families!
