Hi families! My name is Julissa and I have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for children from as young as 2 months old up to 10 years old. I’m currently looking for a morning to help around! I’ve built a strong reputation with repeat clients who value my flexibility, patience, and ability to quickly connect with children. Whether it’s reading stories, going on nature walks, doing crafts, or just being silly and playful, I truly enjoy spending quality time with kids and keeping them safe, happy, and engaged. I’m reliable, easygoing, and always come with a positive attitude. If you’re looking for a trustworthy backup nanny or occasional sitter, I’d love to help! Thank you!

Booked by 21 families in Moss Beach, CA

Hi! My name is Leticia, and I have several years of hands-on childcare experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter since I was in high school and truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. In addition to babysitting, I have experience substitute teaching at a Montessori Preschool, where I helped create a positive and engaging learning environment in the absence of the lead teacher. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as 2 Associate’s degrees in Psychology and Social & Behavioral sciences where I’ve taken early childhood education courses including child development and developmental psychology. I also have experience with children with diverse needs, including autism and ADHD. I’m skilled in coordinating schedules, helping with homework, preparing meals, managing bedtime routines, school drop-offs/pick-ups, and overnight care. I’m a very patient, attentive, and nurturing caregiver who enjoys engaging children in a variety of activities including arts and crafts, magna tiles, legos, and outdoor activities (ex: tag and playing at the park). I prioritize safety, clear communication with parents, and routines where children can thrive in. In my free time, I work with feral cats as well as socialize kittens. This is a huge passion of mine as I love animals and have quite a few pets myself. I would love the opportunity to support your family, thank you for considering my application and I look forward to speaking with you!

"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!"
