Hello! I’m Sathiya, a cheerful, dedicated, and detail-oriented nanny, babysitter, pet sitter, and family assistant originally from Bangkok, Thailand, now happily based in San Francisco since 2019. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I’d love to connect! I just started using this app, so my reviews are still building, but I’ve been caring for children since around 2020. I’m happy to share references or answer any questions to help you feel comfortable. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience raising my own children and more than 5 years in professional caregiving, I specialize in nurturing, patient, and attentive care for children of all ages including newborns. I take pride in creating a warm, safe, and engaging environment where little ones can thrive. Along with childcare, I’m also available to assist with pet sitting, house sitting, and household management from keeping things tidy and organized to managing vendors or overseeing home maintenance. I genuinely enjoy helping families run their homes smoothly and efficiently. I bring professionalism, kindness, and care to everything I do, and I believe in creating calm, supportive systems that make family life a little easier. I’d be happy to provide my references, background check, and vaccination records upon request.

Hello! My name is Liz. I have an 18 year old daughter who is at college out of state. I work at a surgical center Monday through Friday and I specialize in patient care. Now that my own daughter is away at college, I have a lot of free time on weekends. I have experience caring for young children and babies through babysitting for friends and family. I love spending time with children because it brings back wonderful memories and experiences with my own daughter.
