Hi Bay Area Families! My name is Lina, I’m 30 years old. I was an au pair in 2[removed]. I used to take care of kids while I was in college, including my newborn nephew, who is now 16. I recently finished grad school and got a job from 8 am to 5 pm, but I miss my job as a nanny. I love to take of children and I have experience with all ages. I like to go out with the kiddos for walks, to the library, parks, and more. I help them with homework,tutoring, and crafts. In my free time, I love hiking, painting, dancing, solving puzzles, and watching movies. I’m a native Spanish speaker, I speak English and a little bit of French. I’d love to meet up!

Hi my name is Nicole! I am currently looking for occasional and part time babysitting or nannying roles until 10/28/25 before I leave to travel. I have 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying for families and 8 years of experience teaching private swim lessons and coaching swim team. I have supported families by helping with drop off/pick up, after school and nighttime routines, meal prep, and cleaning. My main priority is always to create a fun and safe environment for the kids I work with. I know that by being their caregiver it’s important that I be a positive presence in their lives and support them wherever I can! Additionally, I have taken care of various animals in closing dogs and cats for families over the years. I attended Santa Clara University and graduated in 2021 with a BS in Public Health and Political Science with minors in Biology and Spanish. I speak and write fluently in English and Spanish. I am EMT, Lifeguard, CPR AED, and First Aid certified.

Nicole is awesome, she was right on time, reliable, and really nice with my daughter for the entire day, she was flexible and understanding of situations that may change, I would hire her back in a second!

Hi :) my name is Inderpreet, and I’m thrilled to offer my babysitting services as I work towards a career in healthcare. I’ve spent the last seven years helping to raise my two wonderful nephews, from their baby days to now, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’m all about creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for kids, where they can feel comfortable and happy. While my background is in the biotech field, my heart has always been in caregiving. I’m responsible, reliable, and can’t wait to bring some joy and care to your little ones!
