Hello! My name is Angela and I'm 26 years old. I have experience at daycares with ages from 3 months to 6 years. I was also a full time live-in nanny and was with them for a year and still babysit all the time for them! I've been around kids my whole life and am super comfortable with all ages. I have completed a few Early Childhood Education classes. I am looking forward to speaking with any potential families! :)

Angela has lots of experience caring for children of all ages and my kids love playing with her!

Deborah 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Deborah, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience. I began my first nanny position at 18 and was a live-in caregiver for two years. I have since worked with children ranging from infants as young as 6 months to preteens. Over the years, I’ve provided excellent care including diaper changes, bath time, meal preparation, school pick-ups, after-school activities, pet care, and house sitting. With a bachelor’s degree in Public Health, I’m passionate about fostering nurturing, educational, and engaging environments for children. I love creating activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and movement, helping kids burn energy in healthy, fun ways. I’m active, dependable, and deeply enjoy supporting families by providing not just care, but genuine partnership in their children’s growth and development. And as an animal lover, I’m always happy to care for pets, too (unfortunately not cats as I am allergic).

Debbie has babysat for my grandchildren. I have known her for many years since she was in her teens as she was my high school student. She is extremely good with children, fun, caring and reliable. I highly recommend her for any childcare position.

Hi! My name is Patricia. I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with 8 years of full-time childcare experience. I have cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I truly enjoy supporting their growth and development in a safe and nurturing environment. I have extensive experience with infants, including bottle feeding, nap routines, diaper changes, and maintaining a consistent schedule. I am also comfortable managing multiple children, helping with homework, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I have worked long-term with families, which has allowed me to provide stability and continuity of care. I am based in Burlingame and have access to a car, making me flexible and dependable for commuting. I am currently looking for occasional opportunities, especially on weekends.

Patricia was easy to coordinate with, arrived on time and was great with our son. Would definitely recommend.
