"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

$35 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Melissa, a reliable and caring sitter based in Pacifica. I’ve spent several years nannying and babysitting throughout college and beyond, working with children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve cared for infants as young as three weeks old (including overnight support), as well as toddlers and older kids. I really enjoy creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment whether that’s helping with routines, playtime, or simply being a steady and positive presence. I also bring a strong background in supporting families through my professional experience, which has helped me develop patience, organization, and clear communication. I understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease and informed. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, or homework support. Looking forward to connecting!
“Melissa is a really sweet and responsible babysitter. She helped us with our twins (21 mos) and 4.5 year old last summer on the weekends. She is playful and kind and extremely helpful around the house. ”
Nehir $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m Nehir, a Biology student at San Francisco State University with several years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with Diabetes Youth Families at summer camps for children with Type 1 diabetes (ages 7–18), supporting kids and helping create a safe and fun environment. I’ve also worked at the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula with middle school students and currently teach after-school tennis, pickleball, and volleyball at an elementary school as well as at preschool. I have experience caring for infants as well, who are 6 months old to 10-month-old. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and I have a driver’s license. I enjoy hiking and traveling in my free time.

Hi all, I am a graduate student and have just finished 8 years as a high school teacher. I have over 10 years of childcare experience and I am looking for a family to support as I complete my graduate program. I have experience working with families with kids ranging in age from newborn-teens. In the past I have managed a summer camp, taught outdoor education, worked as a full-time nanny, and now I am a teacher. I am active, caring and creative and enjoy spending time outside, crafts, cooking, and more. I am looking forward to getting to know your family!

Hi! I'm Maya, a senior at Chapman University studying Computer Science and Neuroscience. I am looking for a part time job for the summer. I've been babysitting for 7 years, mostly with elementary-aged kids. My responsibilities have included driving kids to/from activities, crafts, and light cleaning/cooking. I also have two younger siblings, 11 and 19, and being a big sister has taught me patience and empathy. I enjoy the wild imagination that kids have as well as their endless amounts of energy! I'm warm, responsible and make it my first priority to create a safe and positive environment for the kids I care for.
“Maya was wonderful with our children. She helped them bring art projects to life, she helped them eat their vegetables, she was gentle and kind with skinned knees. We hired her for a summer babysitting job and got to know her over three months. I highly recommend her!! ”
