Hi, I’m Quinlan and I have been enjoying babysitting for over 6 years. I moved to California from Chicago after college to pursue a career in outdoor education. Through my experience in childcare, I have worked with children of all ages including infants, and children with developmental and/or physical disabilities. In my free time, you might find me hiking, doing yoga, eating ice cream, or volunteering at the Marine Mammal Center. I am always excited to help out parents and get to know kids even if it means just for a night, morning, or even homework help! I am fully vaccinated and have a reliable car.
“Quinlan is such a rare gem! We are so grateful to have met her. She is able to connect and attune with our toddler in ways others can only dream of. We love how much our toddler has fun and engages with Quinlan and that’s because of the type of care and energy she brings to caregiving. ”
Hiya!!!! My name is Ashé (Cyrus) 🤓👋🏾 I’m a calm caregiver with 2+ years of childcare experience with kiddos aged 3–14. I am certified in CPR + First Aid training for children, infants, and adults, Mandated Reporter certified, Registered Behavior Technician, and Physical Safety certified. I’ve got a background in theater so I love jumping into play! Making up stories, going with the flow, matching high energy, or calmly reading are all facets of the environments I like to create. My approach to childcare is compassion-based and neurodiversity-informed and I seek to ensure all kids under my care feel safe, understood, and engaged! Hope to talk soon and please let me know if there are any questions I could answer! 😁
Hi, I'm Lena! I was born and raised in San Francisco and am now a sophomore at UC Berkeley studying Political Economy and Global Studies with a minor in Business. I love getting kids moving, whether that's a walk to the park, a dance party in the living room, or time outside. I'm very comfortable in the kitchen, so I'm happy to make a healthy snack or dinner and turn cooking into a fun activity. I also love tidying and will make sure the house is in great condition before parents are home! I have a younger sister and I have spent a lot of time babysitting her and her friends. I also have 4 baby cousins that I look after. I have experience with all ages and I am looking for possible reoccurring and one time care jobs. Parents can count on me to be punctual, responsible, in close communication, and to stick to your family's routines. I'd love to meet your family and can't wait to hear from you!
“Really lovely! Punctual, good communication and engaged my son immediately.”
Hello Families! I'm Natalia, I'm thrilled to introduce myself to you. With three children of my own, I have a deep love for working with kids and ensuring top-notch care. My interests span a wide range, from reading books, singing, and crafting, to face painting, playing ,engaging in sports, and dancing. I'm passionate about following children's lead and fostering their imaginations. In addition to nurturing children, I'm here to lend a hand to parents with household chores. With 16 years of experience working with children of various ages and a decade specializing in infants and toddlers, I'm confident in my role as a dedicated caregiver. References from families in the Bay Area can vouch for my commitment and skills. I'm bilingual, a creative spirit, and known for my positive and cheerful personality. Safety is paramount, and I hold CPR training and have received COVID-related vaccinations. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I'm excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you and build strong relationships with parents and their families for future occasions. Plus, I offer face painting services for those special moments! 😉 Once again, thank you for considering me, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!❤️
“Natalia was a fantastic sitter for my 6 year old twins. She has a lot of energy and so many ideas for games to play and crafts to make. She kept them busy all day, both at home and at the nearby playground. We will definitely hire her again! ”
I started working in after-school programs when i was 15years old. I was a daycare provider for 15years. I have my associates in childcare development. My passion is working with children.
“I made arrangements literally at the last minute and she accommodated me and my 3 sons. My boys fell in love with her immediately. She is very professional and I felt comfortable with her positive energy she brought into my home. Thank you Ms Sagirah, we are definitely gonna see you again…PS my sons can’t stop saying your name..lol”
