$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Felicity, and I am an 18-year-old college student majoring in Jazz Studies at SJSU. I offer child care, pet care, and household assistance services. I love working with children and have been babysitting kids ages 1–6 for the past six years . I have gained valuable experience caring for my many nieces, nephews, and family friends’ children of various ages. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals and snacks, helping with routines, keeping children entertained, and ensuring a safe and positive environment. As a musician, I enjoy sharing music with others and can even bring my electronic vibraphone to introduce children to music through fun activities, simple lessons, and creative play! I am also a vocalist and can sing lullabies, kids’ songs, and other simple songs for children! In addition to childcare, I am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I can also assist with light housekeeping, organizing, meal preparation, and other household tasks as needed. My community describes me as responsible, patient, trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and positive. My goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for children and pets.

Hi, my name is Jasmin, but you can also call me Jazzy! I’m a childcare provider with 7+ years of experience caring for children from infants to toddlers to school-aged kids. I’m currently looking for occasional for work to supplement my schedule as a Yoga Instructor/ Sound Journey Facilitator. As a Burlingame native, I know the local schools, parks, and community well, which makes after-school routines and outings easy and familiar. I’m also intermediate in Spanish and enjoy incorporating the language into play and learning when it benefits the kids. I believe a positive mindset is key in approaching any situation, and I bring creativity, patience, and reliability to every family I work with. I love spending time outdoors with kids—whether it’s playing tag, going for walks, or heading to their favorite park—and I also enjoy guiding them through fun, expressive activities like arts and crafts. I know how to keep things energetic and playful, but also when it’s time to wind down with reading, homework, or quiet time. I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents and would be happy to provide references. I look forward to meeting your family!

Jasmin is truly an exceptional babysitter and human. Very emotionally attuned to the needs of kids (and parents) and flexible to help with play dates and meal prep and other things that are part of our every day lives but outside of the usual purview of babysitting duties. I highly recommend her!

Hi! I’m Sophia, a behavioral aide at a therapeutic day school who is passionate about supporting children’s growth, learning, and well-being. I’ve been babysitting and tutoring since I was 14 years old and have experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a family assistant, helping with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, running errands, and caring for pets. I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands and helping families keep their busy lives running smoothly. In my current full-time role, I work with elementary and middle school students who have a variety of learning disabilities and mental health challenges. This experience has made me especially comfortable working with neurodivergent children and supporting kids in educational settings. My strengths include creating consistent routines, planning fun and engaging activities, helping with homework and academics, and building positive, supportive relationships with children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children!
