Booked by 21 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! I’m Kym! I’m 23, originally from Ohio, and moved to SF about a year ago for my job at the Levi’s home office. Outside of my corporate 9-5, spending time with kids is one of my favorite ways to step out of the work bubble! I’ve been babysitting for ~6 years and have regularly cared for multiple families, with kids ranging from 3 months to 12 years old. I’m super comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and schedules, and really meeting each kid where they’re at! A little about my experience: - Ages: 3 months–12 years - Special needs: G-tube care, severe allergies, ASD - Certifications: REACH certified + CPR certified Availability: I’m available any time outside of 9-5 M-F. I’m open to evening/date-night sitting, weekend help, and occasional care! A little more about me: I love cooking, thrifting/fashion, music festivals, taking corepower classes, and soccer/futsal! If you think we could be a good fit, I’d love to connect! I’m happy to share strong references, social media, vax records, or any other info that would be helpful. 💝

“Kym was great! Our daughter loved her right away, and Kym jumped right in and made her feel comfortable. She was warm, easygoing, and clearly great with kids. We’ll definitely have Kym back!”

Hi moms + dads! I'll care for your child/children like they were my own. I love being around kids. My regular day job is financial analyst. It's a little challenging finding FTE job in this market however I'm super-resilient I am hoping to fill up my time working whilst earning extra income about something I enjoy! I grew up babysitting younger cousins. I can also cook + help with house chores + organizing. I'm punctual, very tidy so I'm always cleaning up after children/meals. I'm authentic, energetic, reliable + trustworthy, parents + kids love my company. Non-smoker, I'm committed to providing a safe, nurturing + stimulating environment for your kids to thrive in. CPR/First Aid certified. I speak fluent French + Mandarin (bilingual in Cantonese/English). I can help your kids if they're in the FI/CI programs after school hours. I used to do cat/house sitting for friends. In my spare time I volunteer for SF Ballet, do lots of yoga + dance (Bachata). I can provide excellent references upon request. *INTERVIEW POLICY* For in-person meetings/interviews, a paid hour of time will be requested. *SICK POLICY* If anyone in your household is sick, please let me know before the job begins! I will also do the same! *CANCELLATION POLICY* Please provide 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations. Cancellations with under 24 hours’ notice will be charged for full amount as originally booked. I won’t cancel unless absolutely necessary. I appreciate the same, as last-minute cancellation makes it difficult to schedule my time with other families. Thank you for your understanding!

“Linda was incredibly reliable, a great communicator and very punctual. She handled a fussy toddler who hadn't gotten a nap earlier, and made sure that everyone was safe and cared for.”

Booked by 38 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Valentina and I am a credentialed elementary school teacher looking to transition back into nannying. I have a bachelors in Psychology as well as a masters in Teaching, and was a 5th grade public school teacher from 2[removed]. Prior to that I was a nanny for many years, both part time and full time. I’ve been a full time nanny since 2023, but have a lot of flexibility in my schedule that I’m hoping to fill! I'm educated in child development from infancy through teenage years and have over 6 years of experience with kids and infants between newborn all the way to school age. I am comfortable with anything between tummy time, bottle feedings, nap training all the way to homework help/tutoring. In addition, I love pets, am fluent in both Spanish and English, have a cleared background live scan check with CPR certification, and have a clean driving record. I love being able to provide families with the security that their child is safe and in good hands as well as making sure to provide an engaging, warm, and safe environment for the kids. I don't take for granted the meaningful relationships that are built along the way. Hope to hear from you all soon!

Hey there - I’m Jasmine! I have loved working with children for as long as I can remember and have worked with many families as a babysitter and part-time nanny over the past 10 years. I have experience with all age groups from newborns to teens, but have primarily worked with babies and toddlers. I am experienced with bottle feeding, diaper changes, bathing children, feeding solids, and putting children down for nap/bedtime. I strive to provide a fun, engaging, safe and developmentally appropriate environment for your children to thrive in! A little more about me! I’m originally from Los Angeles and have called San Francisco home for almost a decade after initially moving here to get my BA in Communication from USF. I previously worked in corporate HR. In my free time, I enjoy: reading, going to the movies, baking bread, building legos and cuddling with my two kitties, Junie & Louis! I am currently open to part-time (mornings only) and/or occasional jobs. If you have any questions for me please don’t hesitate to reach out to set up an introductory call!

Booked by 28 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! My name is Karina, I am a part time nanny, part time elementary school art teacher, and a part time musician. I’ve been nannying the same kids for 6 years now, and it’s my biggest joy. However; I’m looking for some occasional extra hours. Would love to help your family out and watch your kids so you can go out and enjoy a date night, or even give you just sometime to yourself. I have been babysitting and nannying kids for 15 years now, and nothing really makes me happier.

“Karina took care of our 4-month old on short notice, and as our first non-family sitter. She was super responsive, friendly, confident, and was great with our son and our dog. We are very grateful that she helped us feel comfortable taking a night for ourselves! Would 100% work with her again.”
