Full-Time Babysitter Available

Responds within a few days

I have been in the childcare business for over 20 years. I teach kids Spanish and get them interested in art and other fun activities. When working with children, my primary concern is safety. I also love making the "babysitting experience" fun and enjoyable. I like to take care of kids because I feel that they learn from me. It's a fun atmosphere and I get to learn new things from the children as well. I am respectful, fun, kind and always willing to lend a helping hand.

Lais R.|San Mateo, CA

$25-50/hr • 10 yrs exp • 30 yrs old

Babysitter Nights And Weekends

. My name is Lais and I'm originally from Brazil; currently living in San Mateo, I have been in SF Bay area for over 17 years. I am a Psychology major at California State East Bay; my love of Psychology began early on while I was still in High School. After High school I was able to take various Psychology classes and fell in love with the study of the mind and behavior. I am passionate about helping people and very interested in human behavior. I come from a family where we believe that kids are the hope for a brighter future; from early age I was taught that each and every kind of act towards a kid should be done with love. I love kids because they are so honest, if they cry they mean it and when they smile they also mean it. I started to learn how to care for children early because I am from a large family and I always helped my grandmother take care of my younger cousins while my uncle and aunts where at work.

Zoe K.|San Mateo, CA

$25-45/hr • 3 yrs exp • 30 yrs old

Part Time Babysitter

I have lots of experience caring for children. I started to babysit when I was 13 and have continued throughout the years. I would occasionally look after the kids in the neighborhood. The adults always trusted me with their kids as I was responsible, mature, and flexible. I am the oldest of 4 in my family with 2 younger brothers and a younger sister. I was in charge of making sure diapers were changed, rooms were tidy, and schedules were being met for each child. At the age of 17 I was in charge of driving 2 siblings around from soccer practice to other lessons and back home. I also have 2 younger cousins who I would babysit when my aunt and uncle were out of town. I have been tending children ever since I was enough to do so. I absolutely adore children. I am a very active person so can handle jumping from one activity to the next.

Bilingual Nanny

My experience with children began in 2011 when I worked at a a preschool caring for children ages 0 to 5. While working at the preschool I made friends with several parents and began babysitting for them occasionally and I continue to babysit for them till this day. After working at the preschool I decided I wanted to take a nanny position because I personally really enjoy working with kids. I soon became a nanny for a family in Cupertino caring for their 7 and 9-year-old boys. I picked the boys up from school and drove them to soccer practice and other extracurricular activities. I helped them with homework, bath time, and fed them their dinner. I also did light house work. I now currently work for a wonderful family in San Mateo but am looking to find another family who can offer an evening position.

Hello! My child care experience goes back 10 years ago, I took care of baby twins, with brother toddler, In that time I also helped out for someone with a new born. After that I took care of two boys, one of them with autism. I always helped out other people who needed help, my experience range from new born to teen. With that experience I learned how to communicate, very important, I've learned to be a team with the families I worked for, I learned that when it comes to children you have to be patient, loving, setting your feelings aside, being positive, energetic and so many things. I love to read, but I also love to take on anything, and therefore I like it when children explore different things, when doing activities that will broader their way of thinking. I can be very flexible, I can do about anything, I mean there's limits, but yes, I will try before saying I can't. If you feel I can be part of your family and help, I will be happy to hear from you. Kind Regards

Leticia worked for our family for a little over 2 years. She really came to our rescue. At that time, we had two kids under the age of 4 plus a newborn (so three kids under the age of 4). She is a Super Nanny- able to manage kids, do fun things with them, juggle different schedules, drive, cook, clean, and basically be the mother's helper one wishes to have. I can't recommend her enough. Now - this week- my kids started school / preschool and losing Leticia will be our great loss but another family's great gain. One last thing: Leticia is as solid as a rock. You can depend on her. She is honest, caring, kind, funny, and a team player.

I have watched up to 5 children at once and have experience with twins and special needs. In middle school I aided for special needs classes and in high school I took years of child hood development classes where I would not only learn about children but also run a daycare with my classmates! We are a COVID safe household.

Melissa was a full-time nanny for our son, and then transitioned to a sitter for events and nights out. She is incredibly patient, super attentive, creative and fun, and hands-down our kids' favorite care provider! Her culinary experience resulted in a ton of yummy and exciting baking projects, which the whole family enjoyed. My son has special needs and had extremely challenging behaviors, and Melissa provided skilled and compassionate care for him. She implemented (and improved upon!) complex behavior reinforcement plans, had the patience of a saint during the trying times, and was excellent at communicating about how each day went. No matter how difficult the day was, she left with a smile on her face, reassuring words, and unwavering commitment. She is very responsible, and has taken both of my sons on multiple outings and provided after school pickup. I can't say enough wonderful things about Melissa - she's an absolute gem! My sons think the world of her, and so do we!
