Celia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, My name is Celia I am 22 years old and I have a valid driver’s license. I am a caring, responsible, and energetic person with experience looking after children from 2 to 15 years old. Over the years, I have helped children with their daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and a variety of fun and educational activities. Thanks to my experience with different age groups, I am able to adapt to each child’s personality, needs, and interests. I enjoy organizing creative activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, reading stories, and encouraging children to learn and grow in a positive environment. I believe that patience, kindness, and good communication are essential when caring for children. Families describe me as reliable, mature, organized, and trustworthy. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I look forward to becoming a positive part of a family’s daily life and building meaningful connections with both parents and children.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents, I am Rakshya Nepal Mom of twin boys . I have been working with family from 2016 but took a break once I had my own . Now they are off to school and I have more time to help family that need support. I am New to this sitter app and looking forward to join you, I am available to help you and family with anything and everything. Courses on Early Childhood Development Strong communication and patience Creative activity planning Basic cooking and nutrition awareness Emergency response and problem-solving Time management and responsibility No allergies . Fully vaccinated . And open and can adapt to your way of parenting

“I’m happy to recommend Rakshya as a nanny. She has been wonderful with our child and brought such a calm, positive energy into our home. Rakshya spent time reading books, which our child really enjoyed, and it helped encourage learning and imagination. She is very patient—never annoyed, always smiling, and she speaks so politely and kindly. Our child felt comfortable and happy around her. We never asked her to do any specific things but she did everything on her own. She was also always on time and very reliable, which made things much easier for us as parents. One time, my husband didn’t wake up when she arrived, and instead of leaving, she patiently waited for 45 minutes. That really showed her dedication and responsibility. We always knew we could count on her, and we truly appreciated her caring nature. I would definitely recommend Rakshya to any family looking for a caring, dependable, and gentle nanny.”

Ryann $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ryann (they/them) and I recently graduated from SFSU with a Bachelors Degree in Women and Gender Studies with a minor in LGBTQ+ studies. I'm going back to school in the fall to start my Masters Program in Sexuality Studies. I am flexible, social, playful, a strong communicator, and I love working with kids, animals, and elderly folks. Throughout my life, I have babysat for many families with children of various ages, typically multiple children at the same time. My responsibilities included cooking and prepping food, helping with homework, cleaning, arts and crafts, and transportation to and from school. I frequently care for my friends' and neighbors' pets; dog walking, feeding the animals, refilling water bowls, overnight cat sitting, and offering various forms of enrichment. I am passionate about animals and providing the best quality of life for them. I have been volunteering at Openhouse, the LGBTQ+ senior center, since October every week and it has allowed me to expand my knowledge and skills around senior care. I have assisted disabled folks with everyday tasks, ranging from going to the grocery store to the emergency vet. I am patient, able bodied, accommodating, and quick to help out.
