Hi my name is Krystal and I have been babysitting since I was about 12 or 13 and love it! I babysit children of all ages and enjoy playing outside games or even staying inside to play. In my spare time I enjoy watching and playing sports, baking, and volunteering! I have volunteered at soup kitchens, marathons, and the Ronald McDonald House!
Hello, I'm Jessica, a 34-year-old Brazilian currently studying Respiratory Care. My passion for caring for children began at the age of 16, looking after my cousins. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers, although I adore children of all ages! On sunny days, I enjoy trips to the park or leisurely walks, and on rainy days, we can engage in creative activities like coloring, painting, or fort building. Outside of childcare, I relish hiking, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with friends. I also come with excellent references attesting to my dedication and competence in childcare.
Hello! I’m Caitlyn, a childcare professional with over 15 years of experience. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Early Childhood Education from Sonoma State University. Currently, I work as a Site Supervisor for Hillsborough Recreation’s Aftercare program, and I’ve had the opportunity to work at various recreation centers over the years. I’ve also been a nanny for five families, caring for children aged 2 to 13, and have experience with newborns and infants, along with roles as a summer camp counselor. I’m reliable, patient, CPR certified, and fully vaccinated (including the COVID booster). I’m available for occasional date night and weekend childcare. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to assist your family!
“(Review for Pet Sitting Services). Caitlyn does an amazing job checking in on our senior cat while we are out of town! She is very communicative and thoughtful. Our cat requires a pill everyday and I feel she is in good hands with Caitlyn. She is also helpful with our home while we are out. Thank you, Caitlyn!”
Hi families! My name is Darby, and I’m a caring, experienced early childhood educator based in the Bay Area. I hold a B.A. in Child and Adolescent Development from San Francisco State University, with a minor in Special Education, and have worked with children for over 10 years as both a preschool teacher and nanny. Most of my experience is with children ages 1–5, though I also have about three years of experience caring for infants as young as 6 months old. I’m passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I take a play-based approach to caregiving and enjoy incorporating creativity, outdoor exploration, and age-appropriate learning into each day. I look forward to partnering with families to provide dependable, personalized care that meets each child’s unique needs.

"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!"
