My approach is playful, engaged and nurturing; I have a natural ability to build trust and positive rapport with little ones. In addition to English, I can teach Spanish as well as Portuguese basics and ASL Baby Signs. Adult and Pediatric CPR/First Aid (Heartcode AHA), and Fire Safety certified. Excellent references!

“This was the second time we booked Jackie and she’s just wonderful. Calm, caring, quick to respond to text messages, and she even did the dishes — which was absolutely not required, but very much appreciated. Thank you!”

Booked by 9 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi, my name is Faith- I grew up in and love San Francisco. When I'm not babysitting, I'm surf instructing middle and high school age kids, baking, or singing to my cat. I'm CPR and first aid certified for infants, toddlers, and adults. I have experience working with infants and toddlers both on outings and at home, and elementary school aged children at home, sleep away camps, and surf summer camps. I love reading with kids, as well as baking, doing crafts, or leaving the house to walk or go to the park. When working with kids I think it's important to have empathy and and patience, as well as respect for their boundaries and autonomy. I like to resolve conflict by making sure everyone feels heard and allowing children to feel and have space to process big emotions. I take care of my cat, Dumpling, at home, and I have experience feeding, walking, and sitting for dogs. I'm also always open to caring for other pets and broadening my knowledge. In terms of senior care, I 've had the opportunity to intern at the VA hospital in their longer term wards and HDU. I'm happy to provide check-ins, cooking or meal prep services, or companionship. House hold services I can help with are cooking/baking, cleaning, and laundry.

“Faith is super responsible and also super fun! Our son loves spending time with her. Highly recommend.”
