Hi! My name is Ashlyn, and I just graduated with a B.S. in psychology from Santa Clara University. I grew up helping take care of my younger brothers, including one who is nine years younger than me, so babysitting has always felt very natural to me. I’m patient, responsible, and love creating a fun, safe, and comfortable environment for kids. I’m also very comfortable around pets! I love both dogs and cats and have one dog and two cats at home, so I’m happy to help with families who have pets as well. I would love the opportunity to support your family and make sure your children feel cared for and engaged while you’re away.

I am a recent graduate of Santa Clara University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I have experience working with children of various ages and backgrounds through my roles as a Youth Program Leader with the Boys & Girls Club and as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) supporting children with special needs, specifically autism. These experiences have strengthened my skills in behavior support, supervision, communication, and creating safe, engaging environments where children can learn and thrive. In August, I will be pursuing a Master of Science in Human Factors Engineering here in the Bay Area and am seeking a full-time/part-time caregiver position while completing my graduate studies. I am dependable, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy building positive relationships with children and families. I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and well-being and look forward to providing compassionate and reliable care.

Hello, my name is Sydney, I am 22 years old and am a recent graduate from Santa Clara University with a degree in Child Studies and Public Health. I grew up in South Pasadena, and am back home and attending graduate school in the fall for occupational therapy. While I was at Santa Clara, I worked at a daycare/preschool on campus working mainly on the daycare side (8 months-2.5 years old).

Childcare has always been part of my life- being 1 of 5 kids, I would often care for my younger siblings and their friends, as well as our household pets. I then went on to hold summer babysitting roles between college summers, was a long term tutor, co-ran a city summer city, and for the past 4 years was a High School JV Women's Soccer Coach. I love supporting families and making a positive impact on young people's lives. I am patient, calm, creative, and always ready to engage through sports, games or crafts. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR training. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children (negotiable for more) across all age groups and am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, homework help, and light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication and will follow your lead regarding household rules. I look forward to connecting and chatting more!

I have multiple years of experience as a substitute teacher. I am currently in the process of applying for my teaching credentials. I enjoy working with children and I am also bilingual in Spanish.
