Sophia 3 reviews
$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 6 families in Mountain View, CA

Hi wonderful families! My name is Sophia & I am 23 years old. I graduated with my Associates degree in Science/Health Care. I grew up as an only child for 21 years until my mom recently had a second child which is my baby brother who i adore so much and has taught me so much on how to take care of young infants/toddlers. He is my world. He’s 2 years old. I do occasional jobs on here and if the family likes me (which they usually do! Hehe) they give me a call or text whenever they need me to come back! Experience: I was a nanny to a 1 year old boy for a couple of months until the family had to move. I love being a sitter, i have always babysat my little cousins starting at 16 years old. I have also volunteered at a preschool watching infants as young as five months and as old as five years old. I am also CPR certified and can show proof of my certification. I am okay with dogs or cats in the home. Please let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to hear back from you!

Melisa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a patient, dependable, and compassionate caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for children, seniors, individuals with special needs, and animals. I helped care for my grandmother by assisting with her daily routine and medications. I also regularly looked after my younger sibling and many young relatives while my parents were busy. I have personal experience helping care for my brother with cerebral palsy, and in school I volunteered with classmates with down syndrome and dyslexia, supporting them with classroom activities. I’ve also cared for animals throughout my life. I’ve raised cats and dogs, cared for rabbits, birds, fish, and chickens, and fostered many stray cats until they were adopted. I nursed injured and sick stray cats and dogs back to health, cared for pregnant cats, and assisted during births when needed. I’m attentive, calm under pressure, and committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care to every person and pet I look after.

London $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m London, a neuroscience major and student-athlete who has always loved working with children and hopes to continue doing so in the future. I have been babysitting for 6 years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including children with special needs. Being a student-athlete has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, communication, and time management. I love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while also encouraging their curiosity and growth. This summer, I had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor with children ages 4–12, where I planned activities, built relationships with campers, and helped create a positive experience for every child. I absolutely loved getting to be a part of their days and watching their personalities shine. I’m passionate about making kids feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and play. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family!

"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!"
