Hello! My name is Ryan and I am a senior at Duke University graduating this May. I will be back in San Francisco for the summer and would love to help out with babysitting and childcare! I have been looking after children since I was 10 as the oldest of three siblings. In recent years I have worked primarily with children ages 5–7, though I am comfortable caring for kids of all ages. My experience includes camp pickup and drop-off, daytime childcare, pool and outdoor activity supervision, date night babysitting, and helping with light household tasks. I also enjoy helping with homework, summer reading, and other academic support when helpful. As a Duke student with tutoring experience, I am eager to help kids stay engaged with learning over the summer. I love planning fun and engaging activities for kids—whether that’s arts and crafts, baking, reading together, or outdoor adventures. My personal interests include the performing arts (a cappella, dance, acting, and filmmaking), being outdoors, cooking and baking, and reading (I am a huge Harry Potter fan!). I also love animals and am very happy to help with pets or house-sitting. I would be delighted to spend time with your kids and help make your summer a little easier!

I maintain a positive outlook in life. I am a person who believes that everything in life matters. One of my greatest qualities is my connection with children. Children are little philosophers, they are bright, resilient and intelligent little people, they watch us closely and sense us on an energetic level. My focus in supporting their development is through activating their neurological brain chemistry and sensory mechanics. When we understand the function of these models, children can evolve through conscious evolution. It is enriching to teach important life skill practices to children. In addition, my connection with children come in a form of lovingness, friendliness, playfulness, creativity, and ensuring that I provide a safe environment where they can blossom, find their authentic self to freely express who they are and most importantly, that they trust me. With this wealth at hand, a healthy relationship is born.

If you feel a connection, I would love to hear from you. Genèvieve T. Aka Ms. G Connection, Communication & Consistency.

I take on a positive and nurturing approach to childcare. Instead of emphasizing the negative side or outcome of an unwanted behavior, I focus on redirecting each child towards healthy alternative activities, tasks, or desirable behaviors. By refraining from saying, "No", I strive to put more attention on a desired behavior. I am very patient and I absolutely love learning. With that I would say that patience plays a major role when both learning and caring for children. I absolutely aspire for children to feel safe, heard, and loved in result making myself available to all their emotional, physical and mental needs to the best of my expertise. I aim for the child to maintain their ability to think in a clear manner and create good decisions. As for regulating children's emotions, I guide them to slow down and respond to situations in a calm manner. Providing care for children since 2013 has been my specialty and it comes second nature to me. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! I was born and raised in Austria and came to the US as an Au-pair 20 years ago, so I also speak fluent German. It's simple really, I love children and they love me. As an Aries I am an eternal child and relate to children very easily. I enjoy reading with them, doing arts and crafts, building forts and being outside. I also like to include them into chores in a playful way to keep them humble and make them feel accomplished. Communication is the biggest key for me and I love listening to my lil client's stories all day! In a nutshell I am fun, responsible, reliable and have a lot of energy. My philosophy is that your child is as much of a client as you are, I customize my care to the needs of the client. Please note I am available to work holidays but charge time and a half for those days. New Years Eve is double. Policies: I have a 4 hour minimum booking policy. CANCELLATIONS: For cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, I expect 50% of the original booking amount, which can be paid via PayPal or Venmo. EARLY RETURNS: Because I plan my time and budget around the hours booked, I ask to be paid for the entire booking, even if you come home early. LATE RETURNS: I'm usually flexible on the end time of a booking, but please text/call me if you'll be late, especially if we have not discussed flexibility beforehand. I occasionally book jobs back to back with just enough time for travel in between, and your late return can have an unfortunate impact on my schedule. For nanny shares I charge $20 per child.
