Zemaye 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a high-energy extrovert who truly loves creating "backyard adventures" for the little ones I care for! With over 10 years of residency in San Francisco, I am well-versed in the city’s best museums, parks, and extracurricular activities. I have 2 years of experience specifically with infants and toddlers, and I pride myself on bringing a bubbly personality and a constant smile to every playdate. Beyond childcare, I am a trusted pet sitter for cats and dogs, and I am always happy to help with light household tasks. Recently, I spent time supporting a close friend following a medical emergency. She had a stroke during the first month of pregnancy and lost function of her right hand. I was able to provide full-time care for her 5-month-old and managing household chores so she could focus on recovery. I find deep fulfillment in being the person a family can lean on. I look forward to bringing that same dedication, joy, and local expertise to your home!

“Zemaye is very helpful! She was very attentive of my 5 month old child. I would highly recommend her services!”

Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!

“We hired Jocelyn for a one-day sitting job and she was wonderful. She arrived right on time, was polite and respectful with us, and was genuinely sweet and caring with our son. He had so much fun with her, which says everything. We'd happily have her back and recommend her to any family looking for someone kind and reliable.”

I am from Marin County and graduated from UC Santa Cruz. I currently live in Russian Hill. I am very clean, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. Kids and animals love me!

$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Alameda, CA

Hi, I'm Hanna! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I also spent 2 years working in a pediatric medical practice, which gave me valuable experience supporting children and families. I've provided after-school care, evening care, and bedtime routines for children of all ages. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and engaging. During the week, I work in tech sales in San Francisco and am available for evenings and weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe and engaging environment where parents can feel confident their children are in good hands.
