Hello! My name is Kylie, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a student at West Valley College with a passion for working with children of all ages and abilities. I have over 12 years of babysitting experience, along with professional childcare experience at The Club at Los Gatos, where I worked with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. Growing up with four younger sisters (now ages 9, 15, 16, and 21) has also given me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for kids. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED through the American Red Cross. I’m happy to help with homework, enjoy planning creative art activities, and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. One of my greatest passions is supporting children with special needs and neurodivergent children. I have several years of experience working with children with diverse needs, and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life was caring for an incredible young girl with autism. She inspired my love for working with children and helped shape the career path I hope to pursue. Looking ahead, my dream is to advocate for children's mental health and help improve mental health education and support within schools. Until then, I’m grateful for every opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I work with. I would love the opportunity to care for your little one(s), provide them with a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment, and help make your day just a little easier. I look forward to meeting your family!
Hi, my name is Amy, I’m a mom to a 8 month old and I have been working with children professionally for the past 3 years. Through past work with a babysitting agency, I gained valuable experience working with a variety of age groups and family dynamics. I am very comfortable engaging with children, from newborns to toddlers and even teens! Whether you’re going out for date night, running errands or simply need some time to decompress, I’m here to provide reliable and engaging care for your family! I don’t have any professional experience providing household services, but I take direction well. I’m very open to constructive feedback. My goal is to make sure things are done to your specifications every time. I am comfortable working in homes with pets! Will renew CPR/ First Aid certification upon request *My child will not be present with me while providing any services*
“Amy was great with our child. She was patient, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the time she spent with him. She kept him engaged with activities, and by the end he didn’t want her to leave—which says a lot! We would definitely be happy to have Amy babysit for us again.”
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. ”
I have experiences working for several families from different backgrounds. Which allows me to communicate and adjust easily with their culture and values in terms of giving cares to the kids. From newborns to pre-teens, I have given the best care and excellent performance. I have a degree and experience as a tutor, so I am able to help with the homework, art and craft, science experiment, story telling and reading, and doing activities outside the house such as swimming, going to the park, biking, tennis, soccer, basketball, and any other activities that will help your kids growth! I can help with meal preparation for babies, toddlers, and teens. As well as helping with light chores. Please contact me if you have any questions about my qualifications. Will be happy to meet you in person! Thank you 😊
“She did an amazing job and was extremely helpful!”
Hi, I’m Terri I have 7+ years experience working with various ages of children and babies and I’m a Silicon Valley native. I’ve grown up helping out with babies to teenagers, I’m the oldest of six and I love animals of all kinds and I don’t mind them in the home.
“She is sweet, punctual, sent me a photo and update while I was away, and did everything to make Tay as comfortable with the transition as possible! He was happy and calm when I returned :)”

"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!"
