Booked by 18 families in San Francisco, CA

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.)

“Simply wonderful!!”

Hello parents! My name is Claudia and I'm from Colombia (A plus if you want a bilingual sitter). I have been working with kids for more than ten years, and enjoy caring for children. I have experience with newborns, toddlers and schoolers. I also have a certificate in first aid and CPR from the American Red Cross. I love pets, specially dogs, and I enjoy having outdoor activities, playing sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, swimming and gymnastics) but I'm also good doing crafts, art work, table games like chess or planning indoor activities if we have to stay at home. I'm responsible, trustworthy and hardworking. Non Smoker. I have a background and work in science, but I enjoy spending time with kids while babysitting. I am currently living in San Francisco, work as a scientist at Stanford, but enjoy the ocasional babysitting jobs. I also have a California driver license, and a clean record. I can provide strong references too. Looking forward to meet you soon.

Hi! My name is Danielle and I am currently a medical student at UCSF. I love to cook, bake, and find these two things are most enjoyable when I am hosting friends or serving. I have spent the past two years babysitting for various families through my church occasionally and for different events. I am firm with children while I also try my best to understand what it is like to have big emotions in such a small body. I find babysitting to be so joyous and I learn so much from each toddler, child, pre-teen, and teenager with whom I am privileged to interact. I understand that babysitting is an act of trust from the parents and their children and I do not take it lightly. I work hard to establish relationships with each child I babysit. I do not have any allergies and I have also dog sat for families.

NOTE: Please send a message before requesting any bookings. I don’t receive notifications right away with bookings, and unfortunately it affects the “cancellation” rate on my page. Do not send booking requests unless confirmed. Thank you. ————————— Hi friends, my name is Anne and I currently offer child and pet care services :) I currently attend SDSU pursuing degrees in Philosophy and Child Development. My future endeavors are to become an immigration or family lawyer, giving back to the communities that raised me. I believe working with children has helped me grow into a more patient, passionate person and I can’t wait to see where it all takes me! I used to run a youth development program for the YMCA at an elementary school while studying. I now work for TRNC! I enjoy creating an enriching environment that provides opportunities for growth and provide more stimulation for youth. When I have time, I like to babysit! :3 Some of my hobbies are creating arts of all kind, cooking, baking, and playing sports! Although I had a serious knee injury, I am still able to play sports and be active outside! I love trips to the park and taking walks when I can. I also love animals; I used to foster kittens with my grandparents and it is such a rewarding experience. I often take care of pets. Feel free to send me a message and ask questions! I will get back to you as soon as I can, and look forward to meeting you! :)
