Thayane 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Burlingame, CA

Hi families! My name is Thayane and I bring over 8 years of experience caring for children of all ages — from newborns to school-aged kids — including children with special needs such as autism and PDA. I’ve worked with several wonderful families, supporting children’s emotional and physical development with patience, kindness, and genuine care. Over the years, I’ve become confident in handling all aspects of child care: feeding, naps, diapering, soothing, playtime, bedtime routines, and helping children feel safe and loved. I also have extensive experience driving children to school, parks, playdates, and enrichment classes — always prioritizing safety and fun. I’m happy to assist with child-related chores, meal prep, and I’m also very comfortable with date nights and occasional evening care. I’m flexible, reliable, and families often describe me as calm, warm, respectful, and attentive to each child’s unique needs and personality. My experience working with children with special needs has made me especially patient and intuitive. I’m always focused on creating a nurturing, structured, and joyful environment where children can thrive. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

“I highly recommend Thayane! She has been caring for our now 10-month-old son for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier. Thayane is incredibly loving and fully engaged with him throughout the day. She creates age-appropriate activities and playtime, while also managing his meals and nap times with ease. Her dependability, kindness and attentiveness have made her a wonderful addition to our family, and we feel so lucky to have her in our care team!”

Gloria 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Gloria, I’m currently in school studying to become a Medical Assistant, and I’m offering reliable childcare and household support. I’ve been babysitting for about six years. I started by caring for my nephews and soon began helping other families with babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I love spending time with children playing, helping with homework, reading, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I’m also comfortable with pets and can easily follow any family rules or routines. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, laundry, and simple meal prep as part of my care. Families describe me as patient, responsible, and very easygoing. I truly enjoy helping households run smoothly and giving kids a positive, caring environment. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family!

“We couldn’t have asked for a better babysitter for our infant! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and patient, always making sure our little one felt safe, happy, and loved. From gentle snuggles to playful moments that brought out the biggest smiles, she made every minute fun while still being so responsible. It was such a relief knowing our baby was in such capable and warm hands—and now our kiddo can’t wait to see her again. We’re so grateful for her and would trust her again in a heartbeat!”

Booked by 1 family in Burlingame, CA

Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a student at UC Irvine with experience working with children in a variety of settings. As a former swim instructor, I’ve worked with kids of all ages, helping them build confidence while always putting safety first. Through that role, I received CPR training and was previously CPR certified, giving me a strong foundation in emergency response. I’ve also volunteered at an elementary school, where I supervised and supported children in a positive and encouraging environment, and participated in youth programs that strengthened my leadership and communication skills. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, reading stories, or spending time outdoors, I strive to create a fun, safe, and caring environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I understand how important trust is when choosing a caregiver, and I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and someone families can count on. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and positive experience for your children!

“We hired Jocelyn for a one-day sitting job and she was wonderful. She arrived right on time, was polite and respectful with us, and was genuinely sweet and caring with our son. He had so much fun with her, which says everything. We'd happily have her back and recommend her to any family looking for someone kind and reliable.”

I have worked with children who have learning and developmental disabilities for almost 8 years now. I currently work for a school district and have been with this district for 6 years supporting children ranging from 4-13 years of age. I have supported children with their academics, social skills and life skills and have played a crucial part in many children's development.I believe my ability to actively engage with children, my patience and communication skills allow me to connect with children and support them to the best of my ability.

"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!"
