Hello parents, I'm Carol and I'm 28 years old. I've been a nanny over 3 years here in the Bay Area with mostly experience with infants and toddlers. Depending on the kid's age I enjoy doing different activities indoors like reading books, doing arts and crafts, painting, etc and outdoors (always following the COVID guidelines). Exploring nature help kids to be away from electronics and let them discover new skills in them selves. I see myself as a punctual, patient, reliable and easygoing person, who is a good listener and follows parent's guidelines.

We love having Carol watch our son (toddler). When we tell him in the morning that Carol is coming that evening he asks us through the day if she's here yet... and when we say no, he goes "Aww, man" (and squeals in delight when she arrives!). Carol is EXTREMELY attentive to Tristan, very sweet and caring with him. She gets down on his level, asks him questions about what he wants to do and makes sure he has a fun time. She does a "yes, and" when playing with him, and plays how he wants to play (of course keeping him safe). He loves it! And keeps the TV off, which is great. And her positive, infectious energy has us all smiling and laughing. As parents, we appreciate that she is responsible, communicates well, punctual, gets him fed, gets him to bed on time, and even does bath time when needed! We really look forward to being able to go out for dinner while having complete peace of mind. In short, we would highly recommend Carol to any friends of ours who are looking for a babysitter!

Booked by 6 families in Burlingame, CA

Hello- My name is Briana and I’m currently employed as a para educator. I work regular school hours, therefore am seeking babysitting opportunities that are in the afternoons on week days and am flexible with the times on weekends. A bit about me is that I am bilingual (English and Spanish), a big time animal lover, and I love the outdoors. I’ve been employed in the school setting for 3 years now and have gained experienced working with students from diverse backgrounds and with a range of learning necessities. I look forward to connecting with your family!

Briana was fantastic! She arrived on time, immediately connected with our kids, and made them feel comfortable and happy. She’s warm, attentive, and truly engaged — she played with them, spoke to them in Spanish as we requested, and kept everything running smoothly. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We’d love to have her back anytime!

Hi there, I am a fully vaccinated career nanny who is seeking occasional childcare positions! I have 12 years experience working with all ages from newborns to teenagers and am passionate a lot chid froth and development! I am a professional, attentive, caring, warm and loving career nanny who has all 12 early childhood units, CPR/First Aid certifications and am preschool teacher qualified. During my time with children, I find moments to teach emotional intelligence and mindfulness, as I am passionate about children learning about their emotions and how to regulate them. This looks like fun, deep breathing exercises, and narrating/identifying the big emotions I notice they are feeling. Additionally, part of my care is taking them on outside adventures, making crafts, playing board games, helping with homework, reading together and engaging in the fun activities your child enjoys! I look forward to working with you and your family :)

Sylena was super kind an super patient with my two year old. My daughter had a broken leg and Sylena handled it wonderfully. My daughter had a great time and kept asking the next day if she would come back to play!
