Esly $35 per hour for 1 child

I am a caring, responsible, and patient childcare provider who truly enjoys spending time with children of all ages, from babies to older kids. I love creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and cared for. I enjoy playing with children, interacting with them, reading stories, doing age-appropriate activities, and encouraging their creativity and development. I also enjoy taking them to the park, going for walks, or simply staying home and spending quality time together.

London $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m London, a neuroscience major and student-athlete who has always loved working with children and hopes to continue doing so in the future. I have been babysitting for 6 years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including children with special needs. Being a student-athlete has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, communication, and time management. I love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while also encouraging their curiosity and growth. This summer, I had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor with children ages 4–12, where I planned activities, built relationships with campers, and helped create a positive experience for every child. I absolutely loved getting to be a part of their days and watching their personalities shine. I’m passionate about making kids feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and play. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family!

Booked by 1 family in Campbell, CA

I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring babysitter with experience working with children of all ages. I previously worked with Busy Bees Babysitting in Phoenix, Arizona, where I babysat part-time during the off-season while playing collegiate basketball at Grand Canyon University for three years. This experience helped me develop strong skills in childcare, safety, and keeping kids engaged in fun, age-appropriate activities. I recently moved to San Jose to finish my final year of basketball at San José State University, and my athletic background has strengthened my discipline, leadership, and time management skills. I genuinely enjoy working with kids, as a come from a big family, and creating a positive, safe, and fun environment for them. I’m patient, dependable, and great at building connections with children and families. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, homework, and daily routines. I look forward to meeting your family!

Erin $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a responsible, compassionate, and experienced sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and creating a safe environment for learning and fun. I understand every child is unique, and it is important to learn their routines, needs, and interests. I am a recent graduate with a Master of Science in Geography, and have had experience teaching (and caring for) kids from elementary school age to freshman year of college. I am passionate about childhood education and helping kids develop their interpersonal skills. I find it almost magical watching children discover, learn, and apply new things to their everyday life! Although my experience hasn’t followed one continuous timeline, children have been ever-present in my life through a variety of professional and familial settings. I am able to provide tutoring, care, and driving services with a very flexible schedule. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and fun to give parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Ashanti $26 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable, and compassionate person with over 9 years of hands-on caregiving experience. I started caring for my younger siblings at age 10, and over the years, families began trusting me to care for their children as well. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages and love keeping them entertained, safe, and comfortable. I also enjoy doing kids’ hair and helping with their everyday routines. I’m a true animal lover and have cared for animals my entire life. I’ve had three dogs of my own and currently have two cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets as well. I’ve also helped older adults with household cleaning, errands, technology, and companionship. I’m patient, a good listener, and genuinely enjoy being someone others can rely on.

"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!"
