Hello everyone! My name is Itzel, but you’re welcome to call me Luna as well. A bit about me — During my free time I enjoy reading, writing , and finding beautiful and appetizing spots around the Bay Area as well as continuing my current education as a undergrad psychology student seeking a a career opportunity in this field. As the oldest sister of my family, I’ve been babysitting for family members and siblings for the past four years. Over that time, I have learned how to connect with children while growing personally and professionally, being able to babysit allowed me to understood better the responsibilities of providing a safe and fun environment to children as well as being able to truly make connection with family members and my own siblings as well! I have as well over 4 years of experience as a after-school teacher at an elementary school, working with ages 2yo-9yo supporting children’s academic and personal development by engaging in daily fun activities while following program curriculum involving arts&crafts, science, and celebrating cultural events. During this time, I enjoyed engaging with children to help them develop their cognitive, social, and emotional skills in a fun and supportive environment. I am also currently enrolled in college, studying psychology, which further enhances my understanding of child development and the ways I can positively influence children’s growth and well-being. I truly enjoy being a working with families as it allows me to connect with children, understand their unique perspectives, and contribute to their daily lives in meaningful ways. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and passion for child development to your family. Please feel free to reach out as well for any additional question, looking forward to hearing from you! Experience: - AA in Psychology. - +6 credits Child Development/Behavior. - Para Educator Certification.
“communicated, professional, showed up on time, and our three-year-old really enjoyed hanging with with Luna and did her bed time routine without issue. thank you!”
Hi - My name is Ximena, I’m from Mexico and I'm currently a nutritionist. I am offering child care, dog care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since 8 years ago. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. Truly passionate about working with children. I do have a DL and a clean record (happy to share it) and a CPR certified. I've built strong, loving relationships with the families I've worked with and always create a calm, engaging, and safe environment for every child. Happy to work with families with pets. I'd love to connect and learn more about your family's needs. Thank you for your consideration 😊
Hi, I'm Shak! As the eldest in a large family, childcare has been a part of my life from a young age. I began as a mother's helper in 2009 and now have 16 years of active childcare experience. I've worked primarily with newborns and toddlers, but I love working with children of all ages. I bring an empathy-first approach to every family I work with. For infants, I specialize in sleep training and mother's helper support, and I'm happy to work alongside new parents through that journey every step of the way. I also focus on early language development through textures, sounds, rhythm, and music. With toddlers, I lean into interest led play, imagination building, curiosity about the world, early reading and counting. For school-age kids and teens, I emphasize active listening, healthy boundaries, and creating safe spaces for authentic expression. I also have meaningful experience with neurodiverse children who benefit from a different level of engagement and care. And since I studied classical text and diction, I love putting that to use — making up plays, collaborative storytelling, theatre games, you name it! But I'm just as happy getting active: bike rides, fort building, kite flying at the beach, little hikes, and whatever else sparks joy. I have a very low cancellation rate. If I accept a booking I am committed and will be there. I also have a reliable vehicle. I'd love to be a part of your family's village. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
“Shak has such a calming and yet fun demeanor. I am amazed that she got my daughter to go in her bed on her own. Let me tell you, we have not been able to do it! She got creative, she made up stories, they warmed up quickly and gave hugs. Just lovely person and super caretaker!”

“It was a delight to have Juana come and babysit my 2 young boys. She was punctual, washed her hands, and right away started playing with my 4 year old boy. She asked good clarifying questions (ie screen time limits, allergies). At the end of the shift, she had close rapport with both boys. ”
Hello families! I’m Maria Paula (or Mapy for short), a warm, responsible, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with kids of all ages—from infants to elementary schoolers. I’m 34 and recently returned to the Bay Area after completing my Master’s in Urban Studies in Europe. While I explore full-time opportunities in my field, I’d love to help local families with part-time or occasional babysitting. My childcare journey started in Colombia, then brought me to the U.S. as an au pair for two years in California. Since then, I’ve spent over a decade caring for little ones, with a special focus on infants, toddlers, and early graders. Whether it’s outdoor adventures (parks, hikes, museums), crafting sessions, or cozy storytimes, I love blending fun with learning. Bonus: I’m a pro at handling multiples and thrive on keeping kids engaged! When I’m not babysitting, you’ll find me reading, experimenting with new recipes, or exploring Bay Area trails—usually with a coffee in hand. I am also an animal lover!
“Maria Paula is very friendly, professional and easy to work with! She takes good care of my 2.5 month old baby. :) I will definitely work with her again!”

"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!"
