Hello ! My name is Ariana. I recently graduated from SFSU with a bachelors in nursing and currently working on my Masters. I’m offering child care and senior care. I have volunteered at Think Together after school program for about five years assisting and tutoring students. I helped raise and watch my three siblings and many cousins when I was ten. Ever since I just love taking care of children. I have so much patience and passion for the little ones and teens! I love creating activities or arts and crafts, reading, making towers with legos, and dancing. * I did take a long break from babysitting due to the outbreak. Then once I decided to resume I focused on my school and joined a beautiful nanny share.
“Ariana is great and our daughter loves playing with her. She's always super friendly, energetic and very professional.”
Hi there! 👋 I’m Pearl and if you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves being around kids, you’ve found her. I’ve spent over 20 years working with children in nearly every setting imaginable: summer camps, preschools, two years living with a family as an au pair, and ongoing nanny work. What started as a passion became a calling. Every single stage shaped how I show up for the children in my care, present, patient, and genuinely enthusiastic. What families tell me sets me apart: • I come prepared. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before naptime, I’m calm, creative, and never at a loss. • I use positive discipline, no yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I treat your home like my own and your routines like law. Your rules are my rules, full stop. • Kids tend to open up to me fast. I think it’s because I take them seriously. I’m currently available for occasional bookings, perfect if you need reliable backup coverage, a regular date night sitter, or someone to step in when life gets busy. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family. Send me a message, I always respond quickly! Pearl
“She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!”
Hi! My name is Erin and I'm the oldest of three kids and a recent(ish) college grad. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience working with babies and toddlers in a childcare setting, elementary school-age children in a sleep-away camp setting, and high schoolers in a residential dorm setting. I have a compassionate and collaborative approach to conflict resolution that prioritizes sensitivity and empathy to anyone I'm interacting with. I've led children in arts and crafts, games, and intentional conversations, which would translate well into taking children to the playground, on walks, or helping with homework. My pet sitting experience so far as been with cats and dogs (check in visits, feeding, walks, and clean up), but I'm definitely open to working with other pets. For household services, I can cook, clean, do laundry, and lightly organize.

I drive kids to various activities all the time. I am fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, read/write/speak, I can help if you want your children to have more exposure to these languages. I had a BS degree in health education and over 14 years of work experiences with SFUSD Gen Ed and SDC/autism focused classes. I have a lot of experience working with kids of all kinds/ages, also PT, OT, Speech experiences. All those years I work, I have become a person with a lot of patience, know how to de-escalated tantrums. Also, I worked with kids in after school hours and tutored kids from AFY/PKS/CAIS. I’m also a mom of 2 kids 8 (G)and 10 (B) yrs old. We often take kids outings like Zoo, Cal Academy, playgrounds to explore. Children’s safety/mental wellness is my top priority! I am very familiar with all the babies routines from changing diapers to potty training, and I know how crazy the house can be! Sometimes, parents just need a break or an extra pair of hands! I’m a non smoker, no drugs and clean driving record, CPR&First Aid trained. I would love to work with your family! Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
