Booked by 3 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi there! My name is Jaz and I’m a Bay Area native living in San Mateo and looking to support local families with childcare needs. I am experienced in working with children of all ages through my experience in the education sector and extensive nannying/babysitting. I am truly passionate about caring for kids and understand the importance of being a nurturing, patient, and dedicated caretaker. In my free time, I spend time with my two silly, loving, wonderful French Bulldogs and love to bake cakes.

Booked by 1 family in San Bruno, CA

Hi, I'm Hanna! I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children from 3 months to 10 years old. I also spent 2 years working in a pediatric medical practice, which gave me valuable experience supporting children and families. I've provided after-school care, evening care, and bedtime routines for children of all ages. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and engaging. During the week, I work in tech sales in San Francisco and am available for evenings and weekends. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe and engaging environment where parents can feel confident their children are in good hands.

Hi, my name is Kate and I am a Masters student. I offer child care, senior care, and can help with a variety of household tasks. I’ve taken care of younger siblings and cousins for many years. I went to Dartmouth College where I studied Statistics and Studio Art (painting). I have been a tutor for all subjects from elementary to high school, and have also helped many high schoolers with college essay and test prep. I can cook and have a clean drivers license. I grew up with a German Shepherd and am comfortable with dogs. My hobbies include biking, reading, singing, and painting, all of which I love to do with kids!

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in San Bruno, CA

Hi! I am a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco and have been a nanny in the city for over a year now. I have ~10 years of babysitting experience, I now work for a few families, and they have recommended me to others on numerous occasions. I truly believe children are our future and want to foster a fun but safe space for them. I try to make time for fun, including indoor and outdoor activities, but try to incorporate time for reading or more education based games. Respecting kids’ autonomy is also really important to me, letting them speak and advocate for themselves but still expecting respect and keeping on schedule.

Kaylen was fantastic with our 18 month old son. She was on time and quickly learned his afternoon and dinner routine. We'd definitely have her back to look after our kids.

"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!"
