Hello there! My name is Samantha and live in the 94112 area. I’m fluent in Spanish, French, and English. I know elementary-level Italian and ASL. I’m a first year at Santa Clara University, and I studied abroad in France 2 years ago and lived with a host family. That was an incredible experience! I’m excited to offer childcare and house sitting services. As a caregiver, my main roles include: - language conversations/lessons (Spanish, French, English) - help with light household chores (like organizing, cleaning up play areas) - Making arts & crafts with your child(ren) - Playing games/board games with them - preparing meals or snacks - assisting with homework/tutoring - supervising outdoor play ~and anything else requested!~ I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 years old and love spending time with kids. For the past four years, I’ve worked as an assistant teacher for a summer program in SF, teaching 7th and 9th grade STEM classes. When I’m not taking care of others, I enjoy baking, arts & crafts making, playing board games and card games, watching movies, playing soccer, ceramics, traveling, and exploring the city. I hope you’re interested in what I have to offer! Let me know if you have any questions.
I started by helping my mom with my siblings; Which just ignited the joy I have with working with children. I'm very patient, and I'm able to provide help where it's needed. I'm starting my first semester at ccsf for ECE, as my focus is to get a job working with children. I'm great at cooking and following diet restrictions. Food safety is my number one priority when it comes to this. I'm able to multitask and take care of anything I may need with a good amount of precision. I genuinely love working with kids, and I hope to have some of my own someday. I have about 10-12 years of experience working with children; my experience primarily comes from helping raise my siblings into the preteens they are now. I grew up cleaning and cooking, so I'm well-equipped when it comes to these.
Hi, my name is May. I have over 7 years of experience as a live-in nanny and au pair, caring for children from infants to school age. I truly enjoy supporting kids through every stage of growth — from diapering and potty training to homework help and after-school activities. Over the years, I’ve cared for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged kids (up to 4 at once!) and have helped families with everything from school drop-offs to bedtime routines. I love keeping children engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor activities, and structured routines that make them feel secure. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support including meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, organization, and managing busy family schedules. Safety is always a priority — I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and I have a clean driving record. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and caring. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment where children thrive and parents feel supported.
I am a retired modern jazz dancer and graduated from San Francisco State in 1980 with a degree in Dance/Theatre. I am still interested in the performing arts. I love music of many kinds and love to see the progress of young musicians.. I will be starting to volunteer as a reading tutor for elementary schools in San Francisco sometime in February 2026. I love reading to children and watching them play with their toys or work on their hobbies, I can help with meals and snacks and light clean up. Sincerely, Linda C
Hello! My name is Alejandra, I'm 19 years old. I'm currently a college student so I'm mostly open to part time or one time jobs preferably in late afternoon. I am a caring and patient person. I'm all for creating a safe and fun environment for children. I enjoy making crafts, going to the library, and visiting parks. l strive to learn and explore new things alongside kids to help them grow into their wonderful selves! I am offering childcare. It is something I enjoy. I'm the eldest of my siblings and quite often cared for them, I've been in childcare for quite bit. I've given care to kids of all ages but I'm more experienced with toddlers.
