~ Former AU PAIR ~ Hi families! I’m Kacper, 27, originally from Poland. I live in Noe Valley. I’m currently working on my Associate degree in Psychology before transferring to Bachelor in Cognitive Science. Experience: I’ve babysat in Poland, worked as an au pair for twin 4-year-old girls during my first year, and two boys (6 and 9 years old) on second year. I’m easygoing, reliable, and I create a safe and fun environment while also respecting your parenting style. I have a car and I’m okay with driving your kids. I’m happy to share more references from families I’ve worked with on the Bambino app. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions 🙂
“Punctual, friendly and great communication! Thank you Kacper! ”
I’m a mom of five amazing kids, ranging from elementary school to high school, with years of hands-on experience caring for children through every stage—from newborns and toddlers to teenagers. As a co-parent, I now have more flexibility in my schedule and would love the opportunity to support another family. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and miss the baby and toddler years. Whether it’s rocking a baby to sleep, reading stories, building forts, playing outside, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, or keeping bedtime routines on track, I’m happy to jump in wherever I’m needed. Families describe me as patient, dependable, calm, and nurturing. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving them in my care. I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I would treat your children with the same care and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can count on.
My experience mainly comes from my family. I have been babysitting my little brother since I was 10 and he was 6. More recently, I have been babysitting my cousins, a 1-year-old, a 4-year-old, and a 9-year-old. I have also managed kids at various summer camps. Whenever I take care of my cousins, we always end up belting out show tunes on our made-up stage. On the quieter side, I also like to draw and do paper crafts, so I am more than happy to sit with kids and do crafts for hours. I’m looking for summer work before heading off to college, and I’d love to help make your family’s summer a little easier.

Hi, My name is Guadalupe! I enjoy babysitting and have experience taking care of infants, toddlers, kids since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities have included getting kids ready for school, assisting with morning & night routines, reading books, crafting, baking and light house work. I have worked with 6-17 years old for the past 5 years through San Francisco local non-profits and after school programs. I have volunteered at various San Francisco Early Childhood Education Head-start programming for kids ages 3-5 years old for 4 years. I am a proud aunt to twin nieces ❤️ CPR trained and certified! I speak both Spanish and English and am able to practice these languages with your kid(s). A few strong traits that I hold are patience, active listening and energetic. I believe kids should have someone who is willing to understand their needs as well as guidance and have fun while being safe! Looking forward to assisting you in anyway possible. Thank you for your time!
“Wonderful with my kids. Always on time. Sings, plays, reads, and cleans up all while keeping up with our insane schedule to get out of the house every morning. Such a big help!!”
Hello my name is Katie I am a native San Franciscan I will be returning to school to pursue a degree in nursing (hopefully to eventually work in pediatrics) after working in public accounting for the last few years. I started babysitting while I was a teenager and continued through college and beyond. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair living with a family and taking care of their two girls. I have experience with newborns, teenagers and every age in between. Outside of working, I enjoy traveling the world and being outdoors. In the last few years I have completed 121km (74 miles) of the Camino de Santiago, seen Machu Picchu and will be exploring South East Asia in the summer of 2026. Please feel free to reach out to me if you think I would be a great fit for your family!
“Katie was super responsive to my request for some help with my sick kiddos. She was punctual and had great communication leading up to her arrival. She hung out with my kiddos, colored, read books and played games to keep them occupied during their sick day so I could get work done. Looking forward to hiring Katie again soon!”
