Hello, I'm Sofia! Currently working with a lovely family helping care for their infant daughter (and young doggo!). I completed studies at USF in 2019 with my major in Critical Diversity Studies, and a minor in Legal Studies. I have been a family helper/nanny for over 13 years with children ranging in the ages of newborns to teenagers. I also have worked with six separate families with infant twins, one of which were preemies. I have an excellent driving record in case you are in need of help that requires me to drive. I am a huge animal lover as well, so if you have any pets, I am open to help care for them as well such as walking and feeding them, etc. Currently open to part time work: 1-2 days a week and/or date night help. I cannot commit to specific work days as my schedule varies, but can work with a family that has some schedule flexibility. Thanks in advance! Fully vaccinated & boosted šŸ’‰

ā€œSofia is such a wonderful caregiver; we feel very lucky to have found her to help take care of our baby Grace from 4-6 months old. She is highly professional, knowledgeable about infant feeding and sleeping schedules, and has a very nurturing presence. Sofia was the first consistent babysitter we had, and felt comfortable trusting her with Grace. Sofia took care of Grace at home while I worked from home and took Grace out on walks around the neighborhood so she could have fresh air during the day. In addition, she is wonderful to chat with and learn from. I would highly recommend Sofia to take care of little ones.ā€

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am offering child. I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified by the American Red Cross as of Nov 2025, and up to date on flu & Covid vaccines. I’m a dog mom to Callie (featured in my photo) and am a natural care taker. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old and have taken care of infants, toddlers, small children and pre-teens. I enjoy spending time with my friends and their children. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors (hiking, tennis etc), being active (yoga, Pilates), trying new restaurants with friends, traveling, walks with my dog, art, volunteering (tutoring middle school children). * Please note, I’ve returned to families houses for babysitting but via text, so it’s not recorded on the app that I’ve had returning visits. **I accept cash and venmo, but cannot accept credit cards. Childhood development is an area that’s always interested me as I helped care for my sister (who was born when I was 13), and I am considering getting my masters in the field to ultimately make a career transition. Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Hi! I’m Yuri, a recent graduate from San Francisco State University with a Master’s degree in Cell Biology. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities, especially for date nights and weekend help! I’ve been babysitting professionally for about 12 years and also grew up helping care for my 6 younger siblings. As a San Francisco native, I love building strong connections with local families and creating fun, enriching experiences for kids. I especially enjoy nurturing children’s creativity and curiosity through arts and crafts, reading in silly voices, building forts, digging for ā€œgemsā€ in edible sand (blended cereal!), Legos, nature walks, museums, and play groups. I have a Montessori-inspired, gentle parenting approach and love encouraging children’s independence, imagination, and confidence in a warm and supportive environment. Working with children genuinely brings me so much joy, and I hope to continue babysitting while I work toward finding a permanent full-time position in research. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your little one(s)!

I have 10+ years of babysitting experience, including caring for the same family for 8 years—from when the child was a newborn through age 8. That experience taught me how to handle everything from infant care to school routines with patience and consistency. I’m reliable, easygoing, and love spending time with kids—whether that’s playing, helping with homework, or keeping a calm, safe environment. I’m also big on clear communication with parents and making sure everyone feels comfortable.
