About Me Hello! I am a caring, dependable, patient, and energetic childcare professional with many years of experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I currently work as a Head Teacher in early childhood education and an after-school program, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and hands-on learning experiences. I understand that every child is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, interests, routines, and individual needs. Safety, patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with children and families are very important to me. I am responsible, friendly, outgoing, and someone parents can feel comfortable having in their home and caring for their children. I believe children should feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged while also having fun. I am looking forward to connecting with families who need a reliable and experienced nanny or babysitter. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family and children can trust and depend on. Looking For I am looking for part-time, occasional, weekend, evening, or date-night nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I am happy to help with children's activities, playtime, reading, arts and crafts, homework support, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping children's areas organized. I am looking for a family that values a caring, dependable, patient, and experienced caregiver.
Hi! I’m a nurse based in San Francisco with 14+ years of babysitting and nannying experience. I currently work at a pediatric urgent care on the weekends. I’m looking for local families who may need occasional help for date nights, full Time/part time, weekends, or just a few hours to recharge! I have extensive experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers and have been with my current family since their twins were just 3 months old (they’re now three!). I’m also happy to assist with dog-sitting, light organizing, and transportation to activities like sports practices, tutoring sessions, or even trips to the zoo! I’ve also assisted in supervising during birthday parties (ie. Extra set of eyes on the pool, and surroundings) ad well as events to keep the children entertained while still being in the vicinity of parents. I have my own reliable car for transportation needs. I am CPR-certified (infant, child, and adult), First Aid certified, PALS and ACLS certified, and also trained as a doula. I have one year of experience working in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), so I’m very comfortable handling a range of childcare needs with a calm, safety-first approach. My schedule varies slightly with my current roles, so flexibility (with notice) is important. I love building lasting relationships with families and would be happy to share my availability, experience, and references upon request. The best way to connect with me is by phone, as that’s where I communicate and rebooking with all my families. Looking forward to hearing from you! ** I typically communicate through the app but respond better via text as a lot of notifications get missed and easier to rebook** Thank You, Saoirse
Hi! My name is Jamie, and I am a clinical psychologist. I love working with kids and can provide tutoring, babysitting, pet sitting, and help with household tasks! I am available on weekday evenings and weekends. I have experience babysitting and tutoring elementary through middle school-aged students over the past 8 years. I have worked at several educational summer camps, a summer school, and a program that taught social-emotional skills to elementary-aged students. I also have experience providing one-on-one tutoring and babysitting for kids ages 4-13. I can provide tutoring for homework help or for educational enrichment. I also have experience teaching executive functioning strategies for organizing, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks, improving attention span, and managing distractibility. I love connecting with kids and finding creative ways to make learning fun and engaging. I enjoy helping kids explore their passions and express their creativity. I love creative writing, storytelling, playing sports and outdoor games, enjoying nature, and being silly with children. I also have 2 years of experience as a household assistant and enjoy completing household tasks to make things run smoothly. Through my graduate training, I have learned to be very reliable and organized and to communicate effectively. Please reach out if you are interested in tutoring or babysitting for your children or a household assistant!
“Jamie was on time, thorough with the job, and communicative, leaving the condo spotless. I would highly recommend her service.”
My name is Leah, and I’d be happy to help out with your kiddos! A little about me — I’m a graduate of Pomona College in Claremont, California, and recently moved to San Francisco. I’ve worked with children for many years as a camp counselor, tutor, and behavior interventionist for children with special needs. I also have several years of experience as a medical assistant, so I’m CPR-certified and have strong medical knowledge. I’ve been babysitting for about three years and have worked with kids of all ages. I’m happy to help with homework, school projects, or extracurricular activities. I love being outdoors and doing creative projects like arts and crafts. My schedule is very flexible, and I have a car for any transportation needs. I’d be glad to provide additional information or references — I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Families describe me as reliable, calm under pressure, and easy to communicate with.
