Booked by 1 family in Stanford, CA

My most recent and current experience is working as a nanny/private tutor for a 4-yr-old for the past year. I’ve given him afternoon lessons in the 3Rs, art and piano, as well as managed playtime, exercise and meals. I previously nannied for a little girl since her 8th month. I love children of all ages and feel equally well equipped to manage any age and/or multiple children. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and exercising with my son. I’m an avid reader and delight in reading storybooks to kids and engaging them in meaningful playtime activities or tutoring as necessary. I come from a large, close-knit family with 4 siblings all 2 years apart in age. I’ve been raising children through family obligations, babysitting gigs, and my own child (now 16 yrs) my entire life. I also have significant training and experience in healthcare and senior care. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aid. I’ve worked in hospital and home settings. I have an MBA and previously worked in the biotech/pharma and technology transfer industries for 20+ years. I’m looking to make a transition in pursuit of a better work-life balance at this stage of life. I’m looking for a stable family where I can become part an integral part of the fabric of daily life ensuring everyone’s day runs smoothly, happily and healthfully. My undergraduate degree in psychology (with honors) illustrates my lifelong interest in human behavior and child development. I continue to maintain an energetic personality and commitment to lifelong learning.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Sunita. I have been working as a preschool teacher and babysitter for over 15 years mostly in the Bay Area. I also tutor kids to give them a boost in their education if showing weakness in any Subject. I love teaching and caring for young children, babies and toddlers as well as school age. I love doing arts and craft projects, music , singing, stories and just fun games to keep them busy and entertained besides taking care of their naps, feeding, diapering, and homework. I try to make it fun and happy when I’m helping the children as much as possible. I myself love little ones as this is an adorable age. I can put together simple quick meals if needed. I’m also looking for some summer time hours as I don’t work in the summer months and need to keep myself busy too. I drive and have my own car.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm a mother of three and grandmother of two--and my daughter in law is also expecting baby #3! I'm offering child care. I owned and operated my own shipping and packaging service center- and then became a full time stay at home mom! Currently, I am a teacher's aide and noon/lunch duty supervisor and babysit part time, via app. I'm very allergic to cats, and I never use harsh chemicals or scents (sensitive to these) in my home cleaning. I'm available on a part time basis while my children are in school or afterwards, as well as Saturday/Sunday. Currently, while my 13 yo daughter is on summer break I'm available mornings and afternoons and she would love to join me in babysitting.
