Hi, my name is Lisbeth and I currently live in San Francisco. I offer child care services. I truly enjoy working with children and have over two years of experience caring for kids of all ages, including toddlers and school-aged children. I love creating fun and educational activities, spending quality time with them, and joining in on their favorite games. I’m a patient, responsible, and caring person who enjoys building a positive connection with the families I work with. Spanish is my first language, and I’d be happy to teach your children if you’d like. I also speak English and feel comfortable around pets. I would be very happy to support your family and provide loving, reliable care.

On time, very kind about extension, reliable, and sweet!

Hi! My name is Bianca and I am from the Bay Area! I have babysat and nannied for kids of all ages including newborns (this includes newborn feeding time, newborn dishes, breastmilk and formula experience, putting down for naps, regulating sleep schedules, taking for walks, etc.). I have also helped mentor many kids between the ages of 3 and 16. I am CPR certified (currently working on getting that renewed), own a car, and play the piano by ear. I'm a photographer and I also love ceramics and the chemistry behind making my own glazes! I really love math and the sciences too. I have some knowledge regarding children’s psychology that I acquired in my studies for my bachelor’s degree. I am working towards going back to school for my masters/PhD in psychology as well. I am an ex student-athlete of 17 years, and still love to be active. I love to cook, and of course I love the company and brilliant minds of kids! I speak a bit of Spanish, however it's been a while since I have spoken it regularly so I’m a bit rusty/mainly good with basics. I’m also learning Japanese, and I know a very small amount of ASL. I love animals (I have 2 cats), and I love dogs and dog-sit occasionally. I would love to meet you!!

$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 58 families in Burlingame, CA

Hello 👋 My name is Carla, and I’m a proud Redwood City native where I live with my 17-year-old son and our playful kitten. I work full time at Stanford Health Care Monday through Friday, and I have been babysitting for many years to earn extra income while doing something I truly enjoy: spending time with kids. I am mostly available for babysitting after 4:30 PM Monday through Friday (if available) and some Saturdays (afternoon and on) I’m fully COVID-19 vaccinated (since January 2021), get my flu shot every year, and hold current CPR certification. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, and I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every family I work with. What I can help with: • Preparing meals and snacks for children • Organizing fun activities and games • Supervising bathing and dressing • Performing light housekeeping tasks • Driving to activities (with advance notice; if recurrent, I ask that you provide a vehicle or cover gas expenses) A little more about me: Outside of work, I enjoy going to the park, small hikes, drawing and painting, arts and crafts, and watching my favorite childhood movies. I am a huge dog and cat lover. I also go to Orangetheory and love it for keeping me active and energized. My goal is to build trusting relationships with families and create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids can be themselves while learning and growing. I look forward to connecting. Please feel free to message me with any questions.

$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 21 families in Burlingame, CA

Hi! My name is Leticia, and I have several years of hands-on childcare experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter since I was in high school and truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. In addition to babysitting, I have experience substitute teaching at a Montessori Preschool, where I helped create a positive and engaging learning environment in the absence of the lead teacher. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as 2 Associate’s degrees in Psychology and Social & Behavioral sciences where I’ve taken early childhood education courses including child development and developmental psychology. I also have experience with children with diverse needs, including autism and ADHD. I’m skilled in coordinating schedules, helping with homework, preparing meals, managing bedtime routines, school drop-offs/pick-ups, and overnight care. I’m a very patient, attentive, and nurturing caregiver who enjoys engaging children in a variety of activities including arts and crafts, magna tiles, legos, and outdoor activities (ex: tag and playing at the park). I prioritize safety, clear communication with parents, and routines where children can thrive in. In my free time, I work with feral cats as well as socialize kittens. This is a huge passion of mine as I love animals and have quite a few pets myself. I would love the opportunity to support your family, thank you for considering my application and I look forward to speaking with you!
