Hello My name is Cynthia I am a retired science teacher living in Pismo Beach. I am a mother of three grown children. Between my experience teaching elementary school and raising my own children, I have many years working with young ones. My elderly mother passed in 2012, she lived with me and I am intimately familiar with the companionship role of caretakers. My husband recently entered assisted living, he is a Parkinson’s patient and I was his caretaker until June. I am seeking a part-time employment beginning in 2024. I plan to travel Intermittently, so my schedule will not permit a static schedule.i have limited availability in the morning, as I like to spend time at the gym. I am open to over-nights on occasion.
Hello my name is Sally, No sitter training, just year of real time life experience. Raised 3 children. Sitter for other family members. Sitter for 9 grandchildren.
*only available for occasional jobs. Hello, my name is Aline and I was born and raised in Brazil. I’m graduated in IT management and worked in tech for 8 years in my home country. I used to volunteer Helping at dominical class at a catholic church helping with 18 kids between 4 and 13 years old. I studied 6 months of psychology including early childhood before moving to the United States in 2018. I had three successful full time contracts since 2018 and just ended because the family didn’t need full time help anymore. Meanwhile I babysat for many families (over 100 according to UrbanSitter reviews) in the bay area from Vacaville to Pacifica and you can find some reviews on my profile. I have experience with kids with age between 8months old to 12years old. From wake up until bed time routine including driving to classes, parks and overnight. When taking care of a kid I’m flexible to adapt to the family’s parental style when it comes to discipline, screen time and activities. I consider myself someone caring, patient, organized, creative, communicative and responsible. I have my own car, clean record, I’m CPR certified. I enjoy my free time going to gym, hiking, traveling, going to restaurants and sleeping. (And sometimes crying over college homework lol) I just got two associates degree at College of Marin and just moved to SLO to finish my BS in business administration.
“We were able to book Aline last minute to catch up on work and errands. She was super easy going and our 10 year old loved baking and shopping with her. Thank you and we will book again, for sure!”
As a member of a large family with three kids of my own, I'm no stranger to the challenges and joys of child care and the multi-tasking required to keep things running smoothly in the day to day! I'm a team player with a focus on supporting parents in their role as guide and caregiver while fostering emotional intelligence, generosity, collaboration and imagination in children. I was a stay at home mom for many years before re-joining the workforce, and have a deep appreciation for the skills required to juggle all the hats of busy parents! From meal prep to household chores while keeping things fun and playful, I can cultivate meaningful experiences for kids that speak to their innate sense of wonder and encourage their eagerness to soak up their environments in enriching ways. We live, laugh and learn when we experience life together!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
