Hi, my name is Charlotte! I graduated from Lick-Wilmerding High School in 2025 and have since completed my freshman year at Tufts University. I’m taking a year off from college and will be home in San Francisco for the year, and I’m looking for both ad hoc and part-time work. I’m offering child care, pet care, and light household services. I absolutely love working with kids and have 5 years of experience at local summer camps with kids ages 4-12. My responsibilities within these programs have primarily included planning and leading activities, games, and arts-and-crafts projects. I also have extensive experience volunteering with young people who have physical and/or developmental disabilities. I have some experience tutoring elementary school and high school students, so I’d be happy to help with homework if helpful. I love to cook and bake, do creative projects, play soccer, dance, and spend time outdoors. I am Red Cross certified in emergency response, as well as adult and pediatric first aid/CPR/AED. I also love animals! I have the most experience with dogs and cats (i.e., walking, feeding, playing with), but I would be happy to care for any kind of pet. I’m happy to cook, clean, and do other light household chores.
Hi, my name is Mayra, and I am a 25-year-old bilingual (Spanish and English) speaker with a passion for working with children. I do have experience working as a CNA and a Medical Assistant. I also have about 6 years of experience with working with children of many ages. Starting from infant care to grade school. I have work with about 5-6 families that have multiple children and have been caring for. I’ve also been a summer counselor assistant. I am CPR certified and have basic first aid knowledge, ensuring I can handle any emergency situations that might arise while babysitting. As a reliable driver, I can also help with transportation needs. I have experience caring for children of various ages, providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. With my commitment to safety, I am excited to offer my services as a trusted babysitter. While I may not have ratings on here, I usually get my jobs through word of mouth. I hoe you can consider me working with you and your family. Thank you!
Hi! My name is Pamela, and I am currently a student at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) studying Child Development. I am a friendly, bubbly, and caring person who loves working with children, helping families, and creating positive experiences for those around me. I have hands-on experience working with children as a Teacher Aide at a preschool, where I assist with classroom activities, supervise children, support their social and emotional development, and help create a safe, fun, and engaging learning environment. I also have volunteer experience working with children through summer programs, organizing activities such as arts and crafts, cooking projects, games, outdoor adventures, and field trips. Watching children learn, grow, and have fun is something I truly enjoy. In addition to my childcare experience, I have over five years of customer service experience, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, reliability, and the ability to adapt quickly to different situations. I am comfortable interacting with people of all ages and pride myself on being dependable, organized, and trustworthy. I am available to provide childcare services, including babysitting, homework help, playtime activities, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each family's individual needs. I also offer pet care services. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, cleaning litter boxes, walks, or general pet care, I am happy to help keep your furry family members happy and safe. In addition, I provide household services to help busy families manage their daily routines. These services can include light housekeeping, tidying up play areas, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, washing dishes, running errands, and helping maintain a clean and comfortable home environment. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind by being a reliable, caring, and responsible helping hand. Whether you need childcare, pet care, or household assistance, I am committed to creating a positive experience and supporting your family's needs. I look forward to connecting with you and helping however I can!
“Thank you! Pamela is punctual and friendly! Would definitely love to work with Pamela again! :)”
I worked with Rec & Park and ran afterschool programs throughout high school and college. I worked with children for many years as well as taking college courses on child education. I am very flexible and always want to ensure I am consistent and considerate with the care parents seek for their children.
Hi! I’m a nurse based in San Francisco with 14+ years of babysitting and nannying experience. I currently work at a pediatric urgent care on the weekends. I’m looking for local families who may need occasional help for date nights, full Time/part time, weekends, or just a few hours to recharge! I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers and have been with my current family since their twins were just 3 months old (they’re now three!). I’m also happy to assist with dog-sitting, light organizing, and transportation to activities like sports practices, tutoring sessions, or even trips to the zoo! I’ve also assisted in supervising during birthday parties (ie. Extra set of eyes on the pool, and surroundings) ad well as events to keep the children entertained while still being in the vicinity of parents. I have my own reliable car for transportation needs. I am CPR-certified (infant, child, and adult), First Aid certified, PALS and ACLS certified, and also trained as a doula. I have one year of experience working in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), so I’m very comfortable handling a range of childcare needs with a calm, safety-first approach. My schedule varies slightly with my current roles, so flexibility (with notice) is important. I love building lasting relationships with families and would be happy to share my availability, experience, and references upon request. The best way to connect with me is by phone, as that’s where I communicate and rebooking with all my families. Looking forward to hearing from you! ** I typically communicate through the app but respond better via text as a lot of notifications get missed and easier to rebook** Thank You, Saoirse
