Joana here. I came from Brazil to SF in 2007, and have been living on Bernal Heights since then. I've been babysitting kids of all ages professionally for the past 15 years, in a wide range of ways. School pickups, taking to activities, sleep overs, date nights, back up nanny for the day, taking kids to museums, zoo, playgrounds, hikes, etc. I have traveled to 25 countries and love sharing my experiences. I own a fully insured car and have a clean driving record. I love the outdoors! I am healthy and usually kids like me. I'm responsible but also fun. I know how to do anything house related and don’t mind helping out. I love pets. I am flexible and adaptable to follow any philosophies that the family has chosen to guide their little ones. Punctuality, positivity and great communication are my main qualities. Hope to meet you soon. Cheers Minimum of 3 hours per job* I am a proud grandma of 2 boys 🩵 ***Please be considerate of my time as I don’t have any work benefits and only cancel if it is a real emergency. I don’t charge any cancellation fee because I believe in the goodness of people’s hearts.
Hi, I'm Shak! As the eldest in a large family, childcare has been a part of my life from a young age. I began as a mother's helper in 2009 and now have 16 years of active childcare experience. I've worked primarily with newborns and toddlers, but I love working with children of all ages. I bring an empathy-first approach to every family I work with. For infants, I specialize in sleep training and mother's helper support, and I'm happy to work alongside new parents through that journey every step of the way. I also focus on early language development through textures, sounds, rhythm, and music. With toddlers, I lean into interest led play, imagination building, curiosity about the world, early reading and counting. For school-age kids and teens, I emphasize active listening, healthy boundaries, and creating safe spaces for authentic expression. I also have meaningful experience with neurodiverse children who benefit from a different level of engagement and care. And since I studied classical text and diction, I love putting that to use — making up plays, collaborative storytelling, theatre games, you name it! But I'm just as happy getting active: bike rides, fort building, kite flying at the beach, little hikes, and whatever else sparks joy. I have a very low cancellation rate. If I accept a booking I am committed and will be there. I also have a reliable vehicle. I'd love to be a part of your family's village. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi! I'm a graduate of the University of San Francisco. I'm originally from Georgia, but I have been living in the city for 8 years now. I’ve been babysitting children since I was 14 and have volunteered at several children camps over the years. I have experience with children from 4 months to 13 years old. I’ve been working full-time in childcare for the past four years. Along with childcare, I have experience in management, retail, assistant, and food service work. I have also been driving for 9+ years with a clean record. I love children because they're full of energy and always have fun/unique perspectives on everything. I consider myself an active, caring, and energetic person. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and art!
Hi! I’m Karina. I went to college at UC San Diego and since graduating in 2013 I’ve worked in both preschool and elementary schools. I was a Behavioral Health/Case Manager at two SFUSD elementary schools. Before that, I spent many years as the after school Program Manager at an SFUSD elementary school. I have been babysitting since I was a teen and genuinely enjoy being with kids. Some of my favorite activities with children include arts & crafts, playing board games, imaginative play and reading. In my spare time I enjoy yoga, dancing and taking long walks. I’m interested in occasional babysitting opportunities. Thanks!
Hi there! My name is Melanie and I am a USF graduate in Biology and Kinesiology with a concentration in Child/Youth Studies. I recently graduated from SFSU with a second degree in Nursing. I hope to be involved in pediatric emergency nursing and currently applying and interviewing for jobs. I am available for occasional and part time jobs for the time being as I look for a nursing position. I love to connect with new families and take care of their little ones! I am originally from Miami, Fl and moved out here for school. I have been here for 12 years now and plan on making CA my forever home! I am currently 30 years old, very active, independent, and get along well with kids as I come from a very big family (9 nieces and nephews whom I adore with all my heart). I also have extensive experience working with kids from being a Pre-K assistant teacher with two graduating classes, children's party host and a swim instructor/head swim coach at the JCCSF. Fun Fact about me: I was part of the CCSF intercollegiate Water Polo/Swim team while completing my pre-requisites for nursing. I am also currently into climbing and spend my free time at the climbing gym. I am flexible for most tasks, playing, feeding, bathing, bedtime, reading, outdoors play etc. I am also completely fine with any kind of pets. Feel free to reach out to me if I can be of any help to you! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Melanie **Sidenote: cash, check or square cash payments preferred, but credit ok also**

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."
Lila P., parent

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
