Hi, my name is Valentina and I'm offering child care. I love taking care, playing, teaching and spending time with infants and toddlers. I have a certification in early childhood education and I worked in a school where I did didactic and meaningfu activities for them to develop their motor, cognitive, sensory and communicative skills through play such as painting, singing, dancing, reading and imagining stories, tasting and feeling different textures.
“Valentina is reliable, warm and enthusiastic in working with our daughter. We had a last minute logistics change that we had to communicate to her and she followed through with it seamlessly. Our daughter absolutely loves her time with Valentina.”
Hi! My name is Vanessa, I’m 27 years old and originally from Colombia 🇨🇴, where I studied Finance. I’ve been living in the U.S. for over two years and have strong experience working with children and households in different support roles. My main area of experience is childcare. I’ve worked with children since 2019, including volunteering in Peru teaching English to kids and teens (ages 5–16), working in a kindergarten with infants and toddlers (3 months to 5 years), and two years as an au pair in the U.S., caring primarily for toddlers and school-aged children (6 and 10 years old). I’m confident with routines, meals, naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities. I’m happy to support families in different roles, depending on what you’re looking for: • Childcare / Babysitting: focused on children’s care, routines, and well-being 👩🏻🍼👶🏻 • Pet sitting: feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship 🐶🐱 • House sitting: caring for the home while you’re away 🏡 • Household help: light tasks related to the role (tidying up, laundry, simple meal prep, errands) 🧺✅ I love animals — I grew up on a family farm and have a cat back home in Colombia 😻— and I’m very comfortable caring for pets, especially cats and small dogs. Families describe me as reliable, organized, proactive, and easy to communicate with. I truly enjoy being helpful and supporting families in a professional and respectful way. I’d love to connect and see how I can help!
“ Vanessa was fantastic with my 16-month-old! I was so impressed with her communication (she texted me to connect and find out info before she even started) and attentiveness. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
Hello, I'm Mallu! I have +9 years of childcare experience, having cared for kids aged 2 months to 14 years. My expertise covers childcare, household management, and pet care. Over the past years, I've worked as a full-time caregiver for several families in the Bay area. Additionally, I've provided babysitting services to many families with children of different ages. During my educational journey, I also took child development classes, which added an extra layer of understanding to my practical experience. I'm genuinely enthusiastic about helping children grow, achieve milestones, and develop important skills. Whether it's organizing outdoor activities or engaging in indoor play, I take joy in providing engaging experiences for children of all ages. Beyond childcare, I like cooking, staying active through exercise, and immersing myself in good reads. If you're seeking an extra hand to make things easier, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for considering me. Mallu
“Mallu was absolutely wonderful. Our ~2 year old son took to her very quickly, and we felt lucky to have her help!”

Hello families! My name is Galen and I’m looking forward to supporting your family’s child and other care needs. I’m a therapist by training and by day with a masters degree in social work, but I’m looking to build community and supplement my income by caring for children on nights and weekends. I have 15+ years of experience caring for kids of all ages as well as tutoring, pet care, cooking, and light housework. I took a few years away from this app to focus on grad school, but I’m excited to get back to childcare. I maintain CPR certification through work and am up-to-date on all vaccines. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Galen was fantastic. Not only was she kind and engaging with our 2yo but she was also very proactive in helping to tidy up toys and helping me out with my todo list in the kitchen while my daughter was napping. She was delightful and we’ll be having her back!”

"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!"
