I have had multiple experiences with working with children. This includes volunteering to help low income children pick out clothes for their upcoming school year and having one on one mentorships with children entering their first year of a new school. I’m currently a sophomore in college. I was CPR certified twice (need to renew over the summer but didn’t have time due to college). First during June of 2023 at California Northstate University during my program at UC Berkeley for Medicine and the second time at a career technical center where I got CPR, first aid, and choking certified for adults, children, and babies. I am also knowledgeable and trained in First Aid.
I’ve been taking care of my younger ill sister for almost a year.

Patient, Reliable Caregiver with a Passion for Child Development
Hi! I'm Vartika, an 18-year-old based in Fremont, CA with a genuine passion for working with children. I'm currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, which has given me a strong understanding of child behavior and development. I am patient, reliable, and responsible, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. I am available weekdays and weekends and am committed to giving families peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands. I look forward to meeting your family!
Hi there! My name is Myla, and I'm a 19-year-old undergraduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. I've been babysitting for families in San Francisco for over five years, and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with children of all ages. Growing up with a younger sister, I started helping out with childcare early on and have always enjoyed creating fun, safe, and engaging environments for kids. I'm a very patient, friendly, and outgoing person who believes in encouraging creativity. I love doing arts and crafts, playing music (I sing and play guitar!), and spending time outdoors. I also enjoy helping with homework-especially writing and reading, since I tutored kids for about three years. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to help around the house with light chores, meal prep, or organizing activities. I'm a fast learner, great with technology, and always happy to adapt to each family's needs. I also have experience with dog walking and pet sitting (I have a dog of my own, too), so I'm very comfortable with pets. You can count on me being dependable and responsible. Babysitting is more than just a job for me. It gives me a chance to help kids learn and have fun!
Hi I'm Coco, a reliable babysitter with availability!
Whether it's for an event, a date, or any sort of outings, I come with a helping hand. I'm Socorro—but I go by Coco—and I have around a year of babysitting experience. A little bit about myself is that I love music, movies, and playing tennis! When watching over children, my priorities are keeping them entertained in a fun but safe manner. Luckily, my schedule is fairly flexible. If you live in San Francisco and need help, feel free to reach out whenever!
