Hello! My name is Ashlyn, and I’m 31 years old with over 15 years of caregiving experience for children of all ages. I’ve had the pleasure of babysitting for hundreds of Bay Area families (truly!). Background: Current Pre-Nursing Student BA Psychology Experience working w/ infants and K-8 as a classroom aide, aftercare coordinator, and CYO Volleyball coach. Why Choose Me to Work with Your Family? (*Please use my reviews as references*): • I actively engage with children—I’m fun, energetic, and involved. I don’t just supervise; I play too! I also make an extra effort to tidy up. • I have extensive experience managing and engaging large groups of kids. • I’m comfortable caring for infants and their toddler-aged siblings simultaneously. • I’m creative, spontaneous, and easy-going with a “go with the flow” attitude while maintaining necessary boundaries. I have done well caring for most neurodivergent children as I am sensitive and patient. • I’m a top-notch fort builder I look forward to hearing from you and becoming an occasional sitter for your family. _____ *4 hour minimum, please! Looking for occasional jobs, ideally 6+ hour shifts.

***Update: Please message me for availability- the calendar on here is rarely updated. Thank you! :-) ************************************************************** Hello! I'm a Bay Area native and I was a childcare provider and nanny for over 10 years in San Francisco before I began my teaching certification program. I really enjoy working with families and still keep in close contact with the last family I worked with. In the past, I've also worked for the Y.M.C.A. as a coach and teacher for children in their camp program. I love doing arts and crafts activities, and going on outside adventures with kids to parks, museums (California Academy of Sciences is a great one!), and libraries. Most of my past jobs working with families were referrals from other families I worked with, so this is my first time using an online site to apply for positions. My certifications are in Special Education EC-12th grade, E.S.L. EC-12th grade, English Language Arts and Reading 7th-12th grade, and General Education EC-6th grade. While working on my credential I completed internship hours in an elementary school classroom working with children on the Autism Spectrum. My experience in the internship was so inspiring that I decided to make Special Education a focus in teaching. I'm taking this semester off from teaching so I’m mostly tutoring, but also available for occasional babysitting. I really enjoy babysitting because it gives me the opportunity to be creative, no matter what age the child is, with play and learning activities. As an Educator, I am passionate about incorporating play into education to make learning accessible for every child. My schedule isn’t usually updated on the app, so please feel free to send me a message inquiring about a date. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Reese

Hi there! My name is Leticia. I’m 26 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been working as a nanny for 7 years and have experience with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and known for being caring, responsible, patient, and creative. Throughout the years, I’ve worked in different settings, including nanny share with infants and caring for +3 children at once, which made me comfortable managing routines, multitasking, and adapting to each child’s needs. I enjoy exploring outdoors with kids, and when we’re inside, getting creative with arts and crafts and engaging activities. I’m available for occasional babysitting and date nights, primarily in Marin County, but I’m also open to San Francisco. I have my own car, a clean driving record, and I speak fluent English and Portuguese. Strong references are available upon request. I’d love to help out! 🌻💕

Hi! My name is Natalie and am 25 years old. I'm an experienced babysitter with 10+ years of experience who has a passion for child care with a goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I received my bachelor's of science in nursing this past May at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and am currently finding occasional babysitting jobs as I study for my state board exam. I wanted to go into nursing because I have always enjoyed helping people. I have always enjoyed working with children, which is why I chose pediatric nursing and why I have always gravitated to childcare jobs. My mom and grandmother owned a daycare for 13 years of my life and I was a big help, so I have experience taking care of newborns all the way to teenagers. I have volunteered during the summer at many camps as a youth counselor. During the pandemic I worked through zoom to provide one on one care with children that needed homework assistance or just virtual playtime. I have worked as an after school instructor at my local elementary school, where I am currently working. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school and sport practices, crafts, bedtime routines, and tutoring. I can also clean, tidy up the house and run errands if needed. My main goal is to always make sure children are having fun in an educational way and providing a safe environment for them. I am a big fan of arts and crafts so I always carry crafts around me in case a fun little activity can be done. I also love pets and take care of them as well! I have had many hamsters, cats, dogs, chinchillas, etc...so I am fine with giving them my extra care. I am also bilingual and speak English and Spanish fluently, and wouldn’t mind giving a little Spanish lesson every now and then. I like to her walk my dogs, do puzzles, and watch movies in my spare time. I am fully vaccinated and CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you! 😊
