Hi! I’m a nurturing and patient caregiver with 3–5 years of experience working with children, seniors, and households. I am also a nursing student, which means I bring a strong medical foundation and a deep understanding of health and safety to every family I work with. I hold a CPR certificate, so you can feel confident your loved ones are in capable and prepared hands. Whether it’s keeping kids engaged and safe, assisting seniors with daily needs, or maintaining a clean and organized home, I take pride in providing dependable, heartfelt care. Families can count on me to show up consistently and treat their loved ones with kindness and respect.

Aaliyah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! My name is Aaliyah! :) I’m an undergraduate student at San Francisco State University working towards a degree in Interior Design. I’ve spent a good chunk of my life babysitting my youngest brother who was born with cerebral palsy — who is now 14 and I still take care of him when I can! So, I’m used to diaper changing, feeding and bathing. I’m creative at heart — I believe art is a beautiful part of development and self expression with children. So, I’m big on doing and introducing arts & crafts with children!!

I’m a 30 year old Irish, Mathematics and Science Teacher. I have 8 years full time teaching experience and I have worked with children most of my life. I come from a large family, of which I am the eldest and so helped my parents with my 4 younger siblings. I was a member of the Red Cross at home and I am comfortable with First Aid and CPR. I am a very active person and love to be busy and outdoors. I’m a punctual and professional person yet caring and loving. I am currently employed as a full time teacher in a local Catholic school. I can provide references if required. Looking forward to meeting you and your kids!

“Paula was so fantastic - my kids loved her, and she was communicative and kind with their big energy. Thank you Paula!”

Hi, I’m Kelly, and I would love to provide childcare for your family! I have over 10 years of childcare experience, including 6.5 years as a nanny for a family with two children. In that role, I supported their daily routines, helped with schoolwork, and built a warm, trusting relationship with both kids and their parents. Beyond babysitting and nannying, I've worked for 3.5 years at an after-school math and reading program, giving me experience with tutoring and working with kids in both group settings and one-on-one care. I love engaging children through hands-on crafts and games, and I'm passionate about helping kids feel secure, supported, and excited about their day. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and hold a certification from the Nanny Institute. Safety and well-being are always my top priorities, alongside creating a fun, nurturing environment for the children in my care. I look forward to meeting you and the opportunity to support your family!

Hi I am looking for a part-time weekend job or weekday evening jobs! I have experience with infants and toddlers for over 4 years now but I have been babysitting since the age of 12 ! I speak English and Spanish and love to do fun activities out doors. I also am a full qualified infants and toddler teacher, cpr trained, fully vaccinated and I have my own transportation. Specifically have worked in Montessori settings. My goal is to create a safe and neutering environment for kiddos and their families! I’m most known for my outgoing and caring personality and cannot wait to share so much love and care!
