Find a babysitter in Los Gatos, CA

Hi, Families! My name is Lauren, and I’m excited to be joining UrbanSitter as a caregiver! While I’m new to the platform, I’m certainly not new to caring for children. In fact, when my own children were little, I relied on UrbanSitter to find trusted caregivers for my family. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to give back by supporting other families. I am a credentialed California teacher with the Cupertino Unified School District and have dedicated my career to helping children learn, grow, and thrive. Before becoming a classroom teacher, I owned and operated a licensed large family child care home for 10 years while raising my own two children. This has given me extensive experience caring for infants through school-age children in both home and educational settings. As both a teacher and caregiver, I create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children feel supported and parents have peace of mind. Whether it’s helping with homework, driving to activities, playing outside, creating crafts, reading together, or keeping bedtime routines on track, I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every family I work with. I’m very active and love sports, outdoor adventures, and keeping kids engaged through play. I’m CPR certified and have health and safety training. I also have experience supporting children with diverse needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and Down Syndrome. Every child is unique, and I take pride in meeting them where they are with kindness and encouragement. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy spending time with our own two children, exploring the outdoors, and spoiling our friendly little French Bulldog. I would be honored to earn your trust and provide exceptional care for your children. I can’t wait to meet your family!

Hello! I have over ten years of childcare experience working with newborns through middle schoolers. The last 5 years have been spent working with special needs students who have significant behavior challenges. I am hard working, patient, compassionate and loving. I typically work until 3:30 M-F (more availability in summer).

I am 21 years old and I’ve been taking care of children ever since I was 15, helping them with homework, cleaning up after them, meal prep, school pick up/drop off, to/from activities, bedtime routine and so on. I also used to be an english teacher for kids between 4-11. I have experiences with babies older than 1, that includes feeding them, nap time, story time, changing diapers etc. I am currently taking care of 3 kids under 5 M-F and I’m looking for job opportunities on weekends.

I am a responsible and passionate childcare provider with over 8 years of experience, committed to creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and engaged. Currently pursuing a psychology degree focusing on early childhood education, I prioritize both emotional and academic support for children's growth. Compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener, I build meaningful connections with children and families, ensuring trust and dependability. My multitasking skills and adaptability allow me to handle various tasks, from homework assistance to meal preparation. As a preschool teacher for the past two years, I've gained hands-on experience guiding children through educational activities and daily routines. I've also worked with California State for Choices for Children, adhering to state regulations, and my Trustline background check guarantees safety. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider, I'd love the opportunity!

I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids! I have 5+ years of experience, I’m reliable and patient, and I love keeping kids active, happy, and engaged.
