I have a close relationship with the children in my family and have been involved in caretaking for my younger cousins since my years early in high school (14-15 years old). I've also been responsible for caretaking for my neighbor's dog regularly during the day from 9-7/8 PM and am very comfortable with dogs generally.
Beauty professional and cat mom— I have cared for my own cat and others for the past five years. I am an animal lover and will treat your family as my own!
Hi! I’m Laura, a 35-year-old bilingual (Spanish/English) caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children ages 4 to 13. I hold a degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and I’m both CPR and First Aid certified. With a strong background in child development and classroom structure, I create safe, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences — whether it’s helping with homework, organizing creative play, or supporting routines like bedtime or mealtime. I'm patient, responsible, and truly enjoy supporting each child’s unique personality and learning style. I’m available Monday through Friday, mornings to evenings, and also some weekends as needed. I’d be happy to provide references and talk more about how I can support your family. Looking forward to connecting!
Hi! My name is Laura and I am so excited to get to know you and your children. I have 20 years of babysitting experience, starting when I was in middle school. I also work a 9-5 job in marketing, where I’ve built a 10-year career, but miss spending time with kids! I offer early morning and evening/night care on the weekdays, as well as anytime on weekends, for kids age 1 and up. I have extensive babysitting experience with kids ranging from six months to teenagers. I also have an almost two-year-old niece, who is just the best and has taught me so much. I love watching kids learn and also have 6+ years experience as a math and science tutor from my high school and college days, so am eager to offer my expertise there as well. I am also CPR-certified. I also offer pet care for cats. I don’t have one of my own but I have taken care of many friends’ cats when they are out of town and love the chance to snuggle and play whenever I can get it! I am also happy to help out with other household duties as needed, like grocery shopping, other errands, and organizing the apartment.
Hi, I am Pema! I have been working with children ages 4-11 for the past three summers at Tree Frog Treks, a science and nature focused summer camp in San Francisco. In my role as Naturalist, I led groups of children in full days of exploring, productive play, and hands-on inquiry-based learning about science and nature in Golden Gate Park and throughout the city. I recently earned my Bachelor's degree from Wesleyan University with high honors in Dance and Environmental Studies and I am excited for the opportunity to continue my passion for working with kids beyond the summer season. I am passionate about the environment and love engaging with kids outside. I also love anything creative, with a background in visual arts and musical theater, in addition to dance.
“Pema was punctual, friendly and a great sport playing with my toddler.”
