"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."

Ingrid Lorrana $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Ingrid and I have experience working with children of different ages. I have worked as a babysitter, in schools, and with child development. I also have experience with household tasks like organizing, laundry, light cleaning, and meal preparation. I would love to help your family!
Alice $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I'm a student at Columbia University with over five years of babysitting experience and currently work as a Senior Counselor at UC Berkeley's Explorer Camp, where I've spent the past two summers working with children ages 5–6. I'm CPR certified, have a reliable car and can provide transportation if needed, and I'm happy to help with housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, and other household tasks. I also grew up with multiple dogs, so I'm very comfortable caring for pets and am happy to help with them too! I'm fluent in English and comfortable speaking Spanish. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable care!
Maha $28 per hour for 1 child
I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny, caring for children of all ages, including infants. I’ve also worked as an RBT and a math tutor, which strengthened my skills in behavior support, patience, and teaching. I’m responsible, nurturing, and create a safe, engaging environment while supporting routines and development. I have excellent references and am known for being reliable and attentive to each family’s needs.
Jessica $35 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Jess. I'm 31 years old and love working with kids. My mom was a kindergarten teacher growing up, so I was always a booked babysitter and carried on to be a part-time nanny to multiple families through my 20s. I've been working in tech as a UX designer in SF for the past 6+ years (Georgia Tech graduate in 2017), but I was part of a recent lay-off, so I'm looking for some part-time babysitting or nannying again! I live in North Beach and have a flexible schedule! Comfortable with multiple kids and all genders. Being around kids energizes me - I love being part of their world. I love animals, music, fashion, and travel!
Lily $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I’m 27 and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with kids of all ages and am comfortable caring for everyone from little ones to older kids. I work full-time during the day, so I’m typically available for evening babysitting from around 5–11pm. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained while you enjoy a night out! In my free time, I love reading, making art, and staying active and playing sports, and I’m always happy to incorporate those interests into activities with the kids I babysit. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment for kids while making sure parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
