Experienced Preschool Teacher | CPR & First Aid Certified | 10+ Years of Childcare Experience Hi! I'm Priscilla, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to 12 years old, including working as a preschool teacher and an afterschool teacher. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and genuinely love working with kids. Whether we're reading stories, making crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or following a bedtime routine, I strive to make every child feel happy, engaged, and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in good hands, so I always communicate openly and treat every family with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I'm currently continuing my education in child development because I'm passionate about growing my career in early childhood education. Working with children isn't just a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. If you're looking for someone experienced, reliable, and caring who will keep your child safe while making their day fun and enriching, I'd love to connect with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a phone or FaceTime call. I look forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 9 families in Los Gatos, CA

Hello families! My name is Vanessa, and I currently live in Cupertino, California. I have experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers, school-age children, and teenagers. My approach is warm, patient, and respectful. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn. I have experience with daily routines such as feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, reading, outdoor activities, bedtime, and age appropriate learning activities. I also like to support children’s independence, curiosity, emotional development, and confidence through gentle guidance and Montessori inspired activities. I speak both Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate with families from different backgrounds and also support children in a bilingual environment. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and I have a clean driving record. I am also happy to help with light household tasks related to the children, simple meal preparation, transportation, and keeping their spaces organized. In addition to childcare, I have experience supporting elderly family members, including helping with meals, transportation to appointments, companionship, and daily routines. This experience has helped me become even more responsible, patient, attentive, and compassionate in the way I care for others. I also volunteer at my local church in Palo Alto, where I help with childcare during events and services. In my free time, I enjoy exercising, yoga, listen podcasts, Pilates, and continuing to learn about child development and personal growth. I truly enjoy working with children and building relationships based on trust, respect, kindness, and communication. I would love the opportunity to support your family and contribute to your child’s well-being, development, and happiness.

“Vanessa cared for my daughter Aaliyah (2½) this summer while she was off from preschool. She sat for us first on July 2 and 3, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and then again on August 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. She was wonderful every single day. Vanessa didn't just supervise. She played with my daughter and filled her days. She took Aaliyah swimming at the big pool and splashed around with her in the backyard baby pool, took her to the park more than once, played dress-up, danced with her to music, and colored with sidewalk chalk on the patio. I work from home and when I got off work, Aaliyah was happy, worn out in the best way, and asking when Miss Vanessa was coming back. What stood out most was her patience. Toddlers are unpredictable, and Vanessa never lost her warmth. She is endlessly sweet, calm, and attentive. My daughter adores her. She was also a wonderful presence with my extended family. My elderly parents were often around during her shifts and joined in on outings with her and Aaliyah, and they love her too. Vanessa is respectful, easy to communicate with, and completely reliable. She showed up on time, was flexible when plans shifted, and always kept me in the loop about how the day went. Vanessa is thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely kind, and she treated my daughter like family. Any family would be lucky to have her. I will keep asking her to babysit on preschool vacation days, and I'd recommend her to anyone.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
