Hi, I’m Cynthia! I’m a reliable, energetic caregiver with years of experience caring for children from toddlers through elementary age kids. I’ve worked with families in both Washington, DC and San Francisco, providing consistent, trusted support for busy parents. I currently work part-time as a consultant, so I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending my free time with kids. Caregiving is something I choose to do because I love it—not just as a job, but as a way to stay engaged, active, and connected. I especially enjoy working with curious preschoolers and early elementary kids (ages 3–6 are my favorite!). My style is hands-on and interactive—I prioritize play, creativity, and outdoor time over screens. Whether it’s building forts, doing puzzles and Legos, reading together, or heading to the park, I bring a high level of energy and engagement. I also have some experience supporting children with ADD/ADHD and understand the importance of patience, structure, and positive reinforcement. Outside of caregiving, I’m a long-distance runner and love staying active—something that translates well to keeping up with high-energy kids who enjoy being on the move. I also volunteer as a reading tutor at a local elementary school, which has been a rewarding way to support early learning. (Fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified.)

Hi! I’m Liz, 34, originally from Brazil. I have over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, through nannying, family assistance, and postpartum care. I’m currently available for occasional and one-time babysitting. Most recently, I’ve been working as a postpartum doula, supporting families through the early stages of parenthood and providing hands-on newborn care. I’m certified through ProDoula and CPR certified, with experience in feeding support, soothing techniques, establishing healthy sleep routines, and understanding newborn cues. I love helping families feel comfortable and confident while making sure their little ones receive attentive, nurturing care. Before transitioning into postpartum care, I worked as a nanny, family assistant, and cook for a family with two school-aged girls. I managed their morning routines, school drop-offs, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and household organization. When the girls were home, I focused on creating fun and enriching experiences, from cooking and crafts to playground visits, museums, and outdoor adventures. I also have experience working in a nanny share with two infants, having cared for one of them since she was just 3 months old. This gave me extensive hands-on experience with Montessori-inspired practices, introducing solids, sleep training, developmental milestones, and encouraging independence through age-appropriate activities. In another role, I cared for two girls, ages 7 and 10, supporting their school routines, homework, extracurricular activities, and daily schedules while helping the family stay organized. I’m warm, responsible, organized, and easygoing. I believe in creating a safe, loving environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, exploring their interests, and having fun. I also value open communication with parents and respecting each family’s routines and parenting approach. Whether you need someone experienced with newborns, a reliable sitter for a date night, or occasional care for your older kids, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!

Hi, I'm Jennifer and I'm 43years old. I live in San Francisco, Ca. I have been taking care of children, with and without special needs, for over ten years now. I have over 32 units completed in child development, and work as a head teacher for Tinycare at Mission Bay Infants. I have extensive special needs experience! I have current Covid and boosters, CPR, First Aid, TB, DPT and Flu vaccine. I am experienced in food allergies and organic diets. I also know basic sign language, and have worked with families who use the sleep training method. I pride myself in providing engaging and stimulating activities instead of having children sit in front of a tv all day. I have worked as a live-in, live-out and on-call nanny. Some of my favorite activities to do with young children are singing, fingerplays, lots of reading (I love to read!), going on outings to parks, musuems, etc. For older children I love to incorporate activities that have an educational value too, like learning about history, science, etc in a fun and exciting way. I also do lots of art projects and music. I have quite a collection now, both from working in a school, different families and materials I have purchased. Children who I meet are always super excited to go through my "nanny bag" which I prepare for each family depending on the age of the children. Some of my interests are reading, writing, swimming, bike riding, going for walks and spending time with family and friends. I have excellent references and a resume available.

I’m an creative babysitter, I love make art projects with my kids and teach them how to clean up at the end, I enjoy playing with their toys and take them to the playground if the weather permit.
