Cepideh $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Cepideh (Cep for short) and I currently work part-time researcher at UC San Francisco, a role I secured after graduating from UC Santa Barbara in 2021. In undergrad, I was an active student involved in the Undergraduate Mentorship Program which mentors and guides first year students through academic and personal situations. One of my first ever jobs was as a swim instructor at the local swim school De Anza Cupertino Aquatics (DACA). I taught children ages 7-11 basic swim strokes and safety during their lessons. I also had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor during my high school career. I led a group of elementary school children through their activities in a weeklong excursion in the Watsonville outdoor school. I find an incredible sense of wonderment when I have the opportunity to work with children. I end up learning more than I anticipated through conversations and activities I engage in with the children. I look forward to continuing to work with children in my local area!

Hashi $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Hashi! I am a recent UCLA graduate currently working in youth development in San Francisco. I am looking for part time babysitting jobs. I love babysitting and working with children of all ages. I have worked as an academic counselor for high school students, have worked with kids ages 4-12 as a swim instructor and have also baby sat children of all ages throughout my high school years. I am able to drive children anywhere needed, work on arts and crafts (I have lots of beads and love working with children on making jewelry), and able to tutor in all subjects up to high school level. I can also cook, clean, run errands, and other household help needed. Happy to feed pets or walk dogs as well. Also hope to pet or house sit.

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Sausalito, CA

Hi! I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable caregiver with 4+ years of childcare experience. I spent 3 years working in an after-school program with children ages 6–12, and for the past 1.5 years I’ve been caring for two wonderful children who are now 2.5 and 5 years old. I’ve also cared for infants (4–9 months old) through occasional babysitting jobs, so I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, and bedtime routines. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing, which gave me a foundation in child safety, health, and development. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have reliable transportation, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down with a bedtime routine, I love keeping kids engaged while making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

“Paulina was amazing with my 11 months old baby! She was very kind, caring, and attentive. He really enjoyed spending time with her, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. We’d definitely love to have her babysit again! ”

Delilah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Delilah, and I am a dedicated and compassionate nanny with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I spent one year working as a nanny at Tiny Giants San Francisco, where I supported children in a nurturing, structured, and engaging environment before transitioning into private nannying. In addition to my childcare background, I work as a medical receptionist at a clinic and am currently a pre-nursing medical student at Contra Costa College. I also hold an Associate’s degree from San Francisco State University, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and responsibility skills—qualities I bring into every family I work with. I truly love working with children and take pride in creating a safe, loving, and positive space where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my Aussiedoodle, Bruno, who often joins me on my adventures. Caring for others is not just a job for me—it’s a passion, and I find so much joy in building meaningful connections through my career as a nanny.

Jermyiah $20 per hour for 1 child

I have work as an Elementary teachers assistant for the last two years. I’m currently in the process of receiving my para educator certification. I love working with kids I find that I can communicate with them very easily using not only the tools i’ve learned from past jobs but with some of the tools I’ve learned through my younger siblings who have communication disabilities. I can take small pets such as dogs and cats. I also help coach a rugby team so I think i’ve been able to master patience and understanding with anyone honestly.
