Hello! I am former au pair with extensive childcare experience, and I’m also a proud mum to a 15-year-old daughter. I truly love being around children and find so much joy in supporting their growth, creativity, and everyday routines. I currently work at Stanford during the week, but I’d love the opportunity to support your family on weekday evenings after 5 pm and on weekends. I am BLS certified, including CPR, and my rate is $30 per hour (happy to discuss). Thank you Kasia

She is awesome and great with my boy. Kasia is on time, kind and fun. My son likes her a lot. We recommend her to any family.

$28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Jessica. I have over three years of experience caring for children of various ages. I am a patient, dependable, and nurturing person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in their daily lives. I have experience working with private families and in a school setting too, where I worked with children from TK through 6th grade. As a teaching assistant, I helped support children’s learning, encouraged positive behavior, and assisted with age-appropriate educational activities. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to develop their skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with and support families from different backgrounds. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, homework, creative activities, playtime, and daily routines for the kid . At the moment, I am looking for a part-time position because I am still working in a school program with children. I have greater availability on Fridays and Saturdays and would be happy to discuss how I can support your family on those days.

Me llena de alegría ver lo buena, cariñosa y especial que es con mi hijo. Como padre, no hay nada más bonito que ver el amor y el respeto que le tiene. Dios bendiga siempre ese corazón tan lindo que tiene y la gran labor que cumples 🙏❤️

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. References available upon request.

Arusha was great. Reliable, perfectly on time, communicates well, interacts with the children and they adored her.
