Hi! I'm Riley, I'm 23, and living in the Nob Hill/Polk Gulch area. I graduated from the University of Denver with a BSBA in marketing last June, but grew up in the East Bay, and have been living in San Francisco for almost three months. Throughout high school, I frequently babysat for a family with three kids (aged 2-12) and a dog, along with a family with two kids (aged 4-7) and cats. I also worked at a summer camp, responsible for around ten 2-6 year-olds at a time for several hours a day. I'm comfortable cooking, cleaning, helping kids with tasks like dressing, and of course, playing! I can help with homework, assuming it's nothing too advanced. I also have a kitten of my own. I would love to meet you and your family and babysit whenever possible. I'm enthusiastic and outgoing, and love spending time with kids! I love to make friendship bracelets, paint, cook, bake, color, and lots of other activities that we could have fun doing together. I'm also happy to take kids out to the park, for a snack, and other outings. I don't have a car, but I'm comfortable doing errands I can walk to. Also happy to help with laundry and other household tasks whenever the kids are busy playing and within eyeshot.
Hi! I am a responsible and caring 32-year-old with over 20 years of experience in childcare, pet care, senior care, and household tidying/management. I have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old, and I was a nanny for about 5 years to four kids who were ages 2-9 when I started working for them. I love deep conversations and interesting facts, and have experience with neurodivergent and highly intelligent kids. I provide a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment, helping kids learn about and grow in the world in their own unique ways through outdoor exploration, dance, reading, crafts, museums, and imaginative play! I also love animals and have a lot of experience in pet care. I have a degree in psychology, including coursework in child development. I also have my 200-hr yoga teaching certification, am in a 300-hr yoga therapy training with a lot of nutrition knowledge, and am about to go back to school (in the Bay) to become a nurse. My cpr/first aid certification expired in Jan 2026, but I am happy to renew if requested.
I have 10 years of experience of caring for young children and homework assistance. I work well with neurodivergent children and have a lot of homework tips and tricks. I have seven years of experience creating and leading workshops for youth development within diverse communities. I love sharing my interests and hobbies, which included, crafting, theater, science and community engagement. I can help with light housekeeping, groceries, and Carpooling. I have 3 years of experience providing compassionate care for seniors and work well with those who have dementia/alzheimer's. I have 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages.
Hi! My name is Ingrid and I have experience working with children of different ages. I have worked as a babysitter, in schools, and with child development. I also have experience with household tasks like organizing, laundry, light cleaning, and meal preparation. I would love to help your family!
Hi! My name is Joshua, and I have over 7 years of experience working in youth development at the YMCA and SFUSD, where I’ve had the opportunity to support and mentor children of all ages. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Social and Behavioral Science, which has given me a strong understanding of child development, empowering youth voice through effective communication and building confidence. Whether we’re exploring outdoors, playing games, working on homework, or getting creative, I love helping youth grow into themselves and supporting their interests! I look forward to helping your family and providing dependable, attentive care for your little ones!
