Hello! My name is Carol and I’m so excited at the prospect of working with you and your children. A little about myself: I was born and raised in San Francisco and lived in Denver and New York before moving back home. I have my Masters in Social Work and have held multiple positions working with children in a variety of settings and capacities. I have experience as a tutor, babysitter, after school program coordinator, school social worker, and child welfare caseworker. In my experience I’ve cared for ages ranging from infant to teenager. Working with children is a great passion of mine because I am inspired by their curiosity, joy, and sense of exploration. I’m also CPR certified. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with your family!

Knowing that play is the best learning method and that playing is the best way to live, I'm someone convinced that the best way to learn and live is through play. With a background and involvement with children for many years thanks to my parents' businesses (kindergarten), I lived and learned through play, and that's when my passion for playing and interacting with children was born. Now, professionally, I've been working with children for about a year (4Cs Sonoma County) and to better develop my work, I have certifications: - First Aid - CPR Training - Mandated Report - California Food Handler - Teaching Pyramid - 3 units in Child Development Classes These courses and my daily work have given me the ability to understand, connect, and easily interact with children. 707-242-4147

We had the pleasure of having Ximena watch our kids a few weeks ago, and they absolutely loved her! She communicates very well and has such a pleasant, positive energy around the kids. She kept them engaged and entertained throughout the evening, which allowed my wife and me to truly enjoy our date night knowing they were in good hands. We definitely recommend Ximena and will absolutely be calling her again soon!

Hi, my name is Alicia Gonzalez, and I’m excited to introduce myself and express my interest in babysitting. I’m a 24-year-old college student majoring in Sports Management. I worked at an elementary school as an after-school teacher for 3yrs, and I have over six years of experience working with children. I truly enjoy working with kids and love being part of their learning and growth. In addition to my school role, I also work as a soccer and baseball coach here in San Francisco, which has been incredibly rewarding. During high school, I had the opportunity to be a cabin leader, which further strengthened my passion for working with children. Outside of work, I enjoy playing soccer and baseball, spending time with pets, and going on hikes. I’m responsible, energetic, and genuinely love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children!

We hired Meigan to watch our 2 and 4 year old daughters for 8-10 hours a day for a week while we were temporarily in town for work. A pretty big gamble, and we were all a little off kilter from traveling and being in a rental house without our usual supplies! Meigan was great, she took our girls in our car to fun activities like playgrounds, the library and the Bay Area Discovery museum and spent many hours reading books to them on the couch (their favorite activity). My very picky 4 year old said she wanted Meigan to be her new nanny at home which is very high praise! My husband and I also really appreciated that she super cleaned our house every day, something I can’t seem to figure out how to do while watching the girls. I loved how she treated the girls with care, patience, and respect. I would happily book Meigan again should the occasion arise.

Hi! My name is Damaris, and I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve babysat for friends and family and have worked in childcare for an after-school program for the past 4 years. I worked in special education, which has strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to support children with different needs. I genuinely love creating meaningful bonds with kids and being someone they feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I believe children deserve to have their feelings heard and validated, and I strive to provide the kind of care I would have wanted as a child—full of understanding, encouragement, and fun. I’m CPR certified and prioritize safety at all times. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through arts and crafts, creative play, and activities that allow them to express themselves while having fun. I’m reliable, caring, and passionate about providing a positive and nurturing environment for every child in my care.

Jaidy G.

Hello! My name is Jaidy and I am 24 years old. I am a fresh and didactic mind for children. I have 9 years years of experience. I started this magnificent love for taking care of children since I was 15years old, it all started with the daughter of my neighbor doctor who had to leave me her baby since she was 3 months old and from there I began to take care of more and more children, the last time I took care of children was in October since I had to leave my family of a single mother and two girls, one 6 years old and the other 14 years old, I had to leave them because my residence came out and I had to move to this country. I AM VERY GOOD IN THE KITCHEN! I love cooking so that will not be a problem if you need me to cook for you, clean houses, wash clothes and everything that has to do with care and attention for the home. Just as I have thousands of positive attitudes, I have only one defect and that is that I currently do not speak English fluently, I know that I can manage to understand 20% but it is very difficult for me at the moment to be able to speak it. I am currently specializing in childcare, my part-time job is to be a teacher's assistant in an educational center for children, I am taking classes, I have the first aid course. I hope I can meet you soon ♥️

Jaidy took care of my 2 year old during a 3-day event. Great communication, very kind and caring, flexible and punctual. My son enjoyed the time with Jaidy very much, he was happy and relaxed. I’d definitely hire her again.

We wish there was an option to give Michelle a million stars. Michelle is warm, sweet and loving. Our daughter Lily screams for joy when she sees her at the door and asks for her constantly. Michelle has become such an important part of our baby's life as well as ours. She has the innate caring and protective nature of a parent. We trust her completely with our daughter's safety and development. Highly, highly recommended.

Hi! I'm a 40-something, fully vaccinated, CPR certified, college graduate (UVM) looking for babysitting work. I'm looking to babysit because I'm amidst a career change and grad school and I need something flexible. A little about my experience: I have babysat and nannied since I was 13 years old. In Burlington, VT I nannied for 4 years for a family with 2 children, a 2-year old girl and a 7-year old boy. After college, I nannied for 2 years for a family in Fairfield, CT (where I'm from) with 2 children, a 3-year old daughter and a 6-year old son. Recently, I have babysat occasionally for a couple children and also have taken care of my 3-year old niece. In addition to those examples, I come from a big family so I have a lot of experience with children of all ages and needs. I'm flexible with duties and schedules, have my own car and am able to help with homework, sports, play dates, cooking, light housekeeping, errands, pets, etc. I've been told I'm good with kids and I certainly do love them. I wasn't able to have children myself so babysitting is the perfect way for me to connect with children and help the community out. Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to hearing from you!

We call her visits playdates, even though she is actually babysitting. She is great at playing and making sure our toddler is enthused during their time together. She has been flexible and tries to be helpful to us. She keeps our kid stimulated and interacts with her naturally. She has been very helpful to us!
