Hello! My name is Fatima, I am a college student, I offer child care, pet care, and house care services. I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old, I am Mexican, I am an only child but I have a big family and I would be in charge of taking care of my little cousins and learned as I got older and then i would take care of my nephews and nieces, my responsibilities were at the time making sure they ate and did their homework, while their parents did their work and their children didn’t interrupt them. Depending on age depends on what I do, with infants and toddlers I change diapers bottle fed and prep their baby food. Kids I cook, play with them help them with their homework and help them clean up. I have experience in house care as well I cook and clean, house will always be clean and never messy under my care. I love cats and dogs and will be able to care for them as well!

She is responsible, warm, professional, energetic and we can’t wait for her to come back!

Hello, my name is Leah I am 20 years old and I love children! If you were to have me as your nanny/babysitter during the week you’d be making a great decision, I take care of my cousins all the time. I enjoy playing with kids, helping them with homework, making after school snacks and even gaining better experience with children’s development. I hope to have kids one day of my own and I wholeheartedly will make them safe and happy whenever I come around! I have always enjoyed sports, arts and crafts painting specifically and music, I’d be so happy to share my creativity with a good loving family! I am currently realtor based in San Mateo, with that being said I hold myself accountable to being responsive and efficient with any task at hand when in a relationship based business!I can guarantee loyalty and good communication with parents and I’d love to be there to help. Sincerely -Leah

Leah has been taking our twins to their extracurriculars a couple of days a week and she's been great! Very attentive and communicative, really pays attention to the kids interests.

Hi! I'm Samara, fully vaccinated, CPR and First-Aid Certified nanny. Experienced with infant sleep routines and sleep training methods. I have more than 10 years of experience working with kids of all ages. I also have 18 months experience with special needs. I love spending time with children supporting them to grow in a fun, safe, caring and stimulating environment. I'm very responsible, dedicated, patient and reliable. I always like to work as a team and have good communication with the parents, so we both can feel comfortable to talk about the children's development, their behavior and also about adjustments that we might need to do while we work together. I'm a safe driver who loves to drive, clean DL records and a reliable car that I can use in case the family needs it. Feel free to reach me out if you'd like to know more about me or my experience. I'll be happy to answer you.

Sam is a fantastic caregiver! She occasionally cares for my 9 month old and 3 year old. She’s always on time, very sharp and professional, and genuinely engages with the kids. I appreciate that she asks great questions to ensure she’s following our routines and preferences. I always have peace of mind when she’s watching my kids. I highly recommend Sam!

Hello, families! 😁 I’ve been taking care of little ones since many years ago. I was a preschool and elementary teacher so my experience is specially in ages 2-10+. Looking forward to connect with you.☀️

Daniela was great with our daughter! They had fun in our home while we were out. She connected with my daughter quickly and they had fun games and drawings. I’d recommend her to my friends
