Hi, there! My name is Anita. I am currently a full time high school art teacher in Palo Alto. My works hours are between 9 AM and 4:30 PM, but I’m happy to help out with child care and pet care during the evenings (after 5PM) and weekends. I love working with young folks and have taught elementary school kids and high schoolers for eleven years now. I have also worked at Camp Galileo as a Lead Instructor for over three years. My fondness for teaching started when I was in high school when I used to assist in teaching children how to dance and through my high school's child development program where we taught elementary school students physical education. Growing up, my mother ran a day care at our house and being a babysitter brings me back to when I used to help her out with the kids. Regarding pets, I've had pets my whole life and a dog (whom I raised from a pup until his passing) and cat of my own. I'm very comfortable with animals and find that both kids and animals warm up to me easily. My responsibilities can include arts and crafts, homework, tutoring, helping with meals, getting the kids ready for bed, reading to the kids, and playing. I'm happy to assist with simple cooking, cleaning, school or extra curricular pick up (if my schedule allows) and running errands. I have also been pet and housesitting for a few years, so if there’s a need for that, let me know! I hope to chat with you soon!

Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.

Hi! I’m Tatiana! I’m a responsible, caring, and organized caregiver with experience working with children from 2 to 10 years old. I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, so I understand child development and love creating fun, safe, and engaging activities. I enjoy crafts, reading, and outdoor adventures, and I’m always happy to encourage creativity and learning through play. I also speak Spanish and can help introduce it in a natural way. I’m comfortable driving and committed to providing a safe, positive environment where kids can thrive. I’d love to support your family!

My name is Victoria, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment through outdoor play, arts and crafts, and age-appropriate activities. I’m patient, attentive, and value supporting each child’s individual needs and development.
