Booked by 1 family in San Francisco, CA

Hey! My name is Sana! I have a few years of experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with two cats for most of my life and also lived with the most lovable golden doodle, Nala! Over the past three years, I’ve also helped pet sit for friends’ cats and dogs, and I’ve cared for my roommate’s dog, Nala, for multiple days at a time. I currently work in a hybrid position, so I’m in the office three days a week. On those days, I usually leave around 8 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. I’m very flexible with my schedule and can adjust my in-office days or visit times to fit your pet’s needs. I love meeting new furry friends and will always be patient and attentive to your pet’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! :)

Shirley $35 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced educator and caregiver based in San Francisco, bringing an unique blend of teaching, outdoor education, and enrichment-based childcare. I currently work at a private school as an Extended Day Program Teacher and Technology Co-Teacher, where I support students’ social-emotional growth while teaching coding, animation, and digital literacy to elementary-aged children. My background includes working as a Naturalist and Camp Leader, where I led outdoor education programs, facilitated team-building on ropes courses, and designed engaging, hands-on curriculum in science, history, and environmental stewardship. I’ve worked with groups of all sizes—from small cohorts to over 100 students—and am confident managing a wide range of personalities, needs, and energy levels. I specialize in creating structured, play-based experiences that keep kids engaged, curious, and supported. Whether it’s STEM projects, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I tailor activities to each child’s interests and developmental needs. I also speak Mandarin and have experience supporting multilingual learners. With certifications in Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and AED, plus my own reliable vehicle, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I create meaningful, fun, and enriching experiences for every child I work with.

Lily $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 27 and have been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with kids of all ages and am comfortable caring for everyone from little ones to older kids. I work full-time during the day, so I’m typically available for evening babysitting from around 5–11pm. I’m happy to help with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, or just keeping everyone entertained while you enjoy a night out! In my free time, I love reading, making art, and staying active and playing sports, and I’m always happy to incorporate those interests into activities with the kids I babysit. I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a fun, comfortable environment for kids while making sure parents can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
