Heyyy families! My name is Brooklyn, I’m 27 years old. I have my A.A is Psychology and am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional science with a Dietetics concentration. I’m am looking for part-time nanny opportunities. I have been working with kids for over 5 years, with children as little as 5 months old to 16 year olds. I’m young, I’m active, and I know all the new trends these kids are into these days😂 I can help with homework and I always cater a fun and safe environment for your kid to be a kid while also aiding in their milestones! I am also looking for occasional/ regular house sitting opportunities so store my profile away for the holidays, vacations, or just being out of town, when you need your home to be watched and cared for! I’m looking forward to hearing from you all!

She was great and showed up on time. Very communicative and really helpful with my toddler.

Hi my name is Sarah, I absolutely love being around kids and helping them learn and navigate through everyday life. I love creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for both kids and parents! I have experience caring for children of different ages and I’m comfortable helping with pick-up, play time, homework, and light housekeeping. My goal is to provide attentive care while making sure your children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I am certified in both CPR and first aid. I also have a well maintained car (2014 Subaru Outback) that is up to date with maintenance. I also have experience with special needs! My little sister has down syndrome so I’ve been around special needs my entire life and not just Down syndrome but Autism as well!

Hi there! I’m a 54year-old mom with a 23-year-old son in college and a super sweet 10-year-old mini poodle. I love hiking, family time, and being around kids and pets. I work from home full-time for Stanford Health Care, so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays, plus evenings, late stays, and weekends. I can help with babysitting, school pick-ups, dog sitting, dog walking, driving, cooking, and light cleaning—whatever makes your life easier. I’ve been caring for kids my whole life (nieces, nephews, friends’ little ones), and I truly enjoy it. I’m also looking to make some extra money to help support my son’s college costs. For peace of mind: • Global Entry (clear background) • Clean driving record • Total dog lover! If you’d like to chat and see if we’re a good match, feel free to reach out. Thanks for considering me!

Hi, my name is Lauren. I have three years of experience working with children (both formal and informal). I have done pickup/drop off for grade school kids, taken them to the library, park, and extra curricular activities. I prioritize creating fun, engaging, and playful environments while taking care of children. I’m currently working full time, during the school year, as a Behavior Technician at Los Altos School District; I have worked in ABA therapy and alongside children with ASD for a little over three years now. I graduated from SJSU in May 2025 with my B.A. in Behavioral Science. If you’d like to see if I have availability that isn’t listed on my calendar, please feel free to reach out and ask! Also open to date night hours/weekends. Look forward to meeting you & your kiddos! :)

Lauren has been a fantastic caregiver for our girls (4,8) as we adjust to new surroundings in Palo Alto and a new role for me as a student.

Hi! My name is Danielle and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. After working in the professional veterinary field for 10 years, I decided to pursue my love for pet sitting full time. I am comfortable with animals of all species, breeds, and temperaments, as well as those with special needs. I have many years of experience working in specialty and emergency veterinary medicine. I also have training in animal CPR and am comfortable giving medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids. I have been caring for animals since I got my first dog at the age of 9, and successfully started my own pet care business when I was 14 years old. I have volunteered at the humane society as well as the wildlife center, and I have also assisted with the training of service dogs. I have a great passion for caring for senior animals. My wife, Bianca, is a huge animal lover as well and has been helping me with my pet sitting clients since 2016. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same love and compassion as we do our own! We are bonded and insured. Rates are based off of my experience and background as a licensed veterinary technician.

Danielle was wonderful! I was given daily updates, with attached photos, in the morning. And typically, I would also get an evening update. My dog, Molly, is a bit persnickety when it comes to eating dinner or taking her medication, so I wanted to ensure I had a caregiver who was used to this. With Dani's training as a Vet Tech, Molly was in great hands! There was one night when Molly was not going to sleep or settling down, and Dani texted right away to ask some follow-up questions and update me. 5/5 stars -- I would highly recommend!
