Booked by 1 family in Cupertino, CA

Hello, families! ❤️ I am a caring, attentive, charismatic, and responsible nanny with experience caring for children from 6 months to 8 years old. I am passionate about working with children and creating a loving, safe, and stimulating environment where they can learn, explore, and thrive. I believe every child deserves personalized care that supports their individual personality, interests, and developmental needs. I enjoy engaging children in creative play, educational activities, outdoor adventures, and physical activities that encourage curiosity, confidence, and healthy development. I am proactive, patient, and adaptable, and I understand the importance of following each family’s routines, values, and parenting style. In addition to providing attentive childcare, I can prepare nutritious meals for children, help maintain their daily routines, and provide transportation when needed. I have a valid California driver’s license. My goal is to be more than just a caregiver. I strive to become a trustworthy, supportive, and positive presence in children’s lives while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and responsible hands. My preferred rate is $35 per hour, depending on the responsibilities, schedule, and number of children. I look forward to connecting with a family that values quality childcare, open communication, and a nurturing approach to children’s growth and development. Thank you for considering my profile!

Hi! I’m new to this platform, but not to childcare: Compassionate and reliable caregiver with 4+ years of professional cat and dog sitting experience and 3+ years caring for school-age children, plus 2+ years working with toddlers in educational settings. As a passionate undergraduate pre-law student, I bring certified babysitting credentials from Illinois, 6+ years of tutoring experience, and varying levels of fluency in three languages, plus English, to support multilingual families. My patient, attentive nature combined with my educational background allows me to provide exceptional childcare, pet care, homework assistance, meal preparation, and light household services. I believe in creating warm, structured environments where children feel safe to learn and grow, whether through organized activities, creative play, or simply providing caring supervision. Available for flexible scheduling including after-school care, evening babysitting, weekends, holidays, and emergency situations, I'm committed to supporting each family's unique needs with reliability, safety, and genuine care.

Molly $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Molly, and I’m a current medical student at Stanford. I’m currently offering childcare & household services. I love to work with children and I babysat a lot as a high school & college student! As a medical student I am certified in Basic Life Support, and outside of school I’ve tried to cultivate many hobbies, including reading, exploring, crafting, cooking, and baking. I enjoy the chance to share those joys with children who are just beginning to know and love the world as I care for them. I can cook, clean, run errands, and I’m well-versed in education, as I tutored school-age children for many years alongside my own schooling, and would be happy to help wherever you need help! I am allergic to many pets, but as long as I’m informed prior to the day, I can manage well with antihistamines. Overall, I’m an enthusiastic individual who would be very happy to care for your children when you need!
