Hi, my name is Vanessa. I am a full-time middle school teacher and I have baby-sat and nannied part-time over the last 20+years. I am CPR certified and registered with Trustline. I have worked in child care centers and preschools while employed with Child Care Careers. I was repeatedly asked to substitute at PalCare in Burlingame because I know how to care for and work with infants and toddlers. For a few months, I taught a Spanish class to Pre-K students for the Casita de Los Ninos program located at Village Park Preschool, Burlingame. From 2012 to 2013 I tutored 3rd and 4th grade students in reading with the program Reading Partners at Park Elementary School in San Mateo. In 2010 I received my B.A. in Liberal Studies and Spanish at Sonoma State University. I love working with children so much that I pursued my teaching credential at San Francisco State University and am currently teaching at Burlingame Intermediate School. I feel that children need to be engaged with art, language, math, science, and play! I'm a big fan of imaginative play, story time, drawing, play dough, and board games. If you're looking for a sitter who will do a lot more than put on a movie for your children, you've come to the right profile! :)
“Vanessa came on time. We did a short video call to introduce her to my kids before the date. She was very nice and patient to kids and very well comunnicated with us about details when we were away from home. Would recommend her if you ever need a babysitter.”
Hi this is Kiki, I’m looking for occasional jobs as I have some free time! I’m a teacher during the day and looking for occasional jobs when I’m off. Happy to take care of your child/ children.
“Kiki was truly fantastic with my children (aged 4 and 1). The little ones loved spending the evening with Kiki, and everything was wonderful. they even went to bed on time and slept thru the night! Kiki è stata davvero fantastica con i miei bambini (di 4 e 1 anno). I piccoli hanno adorato trascorrere la serata con lei ed è andato tutto a meraviglia; sono persino andati a letto in orario e hanno dormito tutta la notte!”

Hi there! I’m Naweera, and I have several years of childcare experience caring for children ranging from 9-month-old infants to children over 10 years old. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for kids. I’m patient, reliable, and warm, and I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to childcare. I also have experience as a tutor, so I’m happy to help with homework across subjects like math (algebra, geometry, trig), English, and the Arts. I’m comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light cleanup, and I’m also great with pets. I like to keep kids engaged through activities, games, and conversation rather than just screen time.

"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!"
