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!

I highly recommend Tatiana as a babysitter. She is attentive to our toddler’s needs and naturally matches his play style and energy. She does not simply watch him play. She actively leads, engages, and makes the time fun and meaningful. I especially appreciate her background as a preschool teacher. She brought great ideas for learning games and age appropriate activities. After just two mornings with Tatiana, my toddler had already learned new dances and little game tricks. He also had a good lunch and nap afterward, thanks to the high energy and fun morning they shared. We are very happy with Tatiana and look forward to continuing to have her as our babysitter on a weekly basis.

Hi families! I’m Christina — a new mom and graduate student who truly enjoys caring for kids. I’ve been babysitting for almost 10 years, working with children of all ages, and I’ve also loved sharing language through my experience as a Mandarin tutor. Being a parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I’d be honored to support your family and give you peace of mind.

Hello families, I am Merve, and I am 28 years old. I have experience with kids for more than 5 years. I am looking for part time/occasional jobs. I am fully vaccinated and have my own car. Thank you!

Absolutely an exceptional babysitter. She jumped right into our challenging and unstructured job (watching our kids during a dinner party), and really won the kids over. They loved her! I appreciated her flexibility, professionalism, and warmth toward the children.
