Hello! My English name is Catherine. I have two sons, aged 5 and 6. My English is not very fluent, and I am currently taking Child Development (CDEV) courses.
Hi, my name is Liz! :) I currently work in healthcare and am looking to babysit during my free time. I love kids and have been babysitting since I was 13, and I have experience with kids of all ages. I’m bilingual, easygoing, and happy to help make food, clean, homework, arts and crafts, or taking the kids to the park. I also drive, so I can help with school pick-ups and drop-offs or running errands if needed. I’d love to help out and get to know your family!
Hello! I am a bay area native have have a diverse professional background as a childcare professional in aquatics and social work. I have expertise in ensuring children's safety, fostering a nurturing environment, and implementing engaging educational activities. I have the most experience working with preschool and school aged children. I am fluently bilingual (spanish/english), have a BA in child and adolescent development, and am EMT certified (I check off your CPR requirements plus more!). I also have experience with working with children with ASD. I enjoy being active during my free time; I swim, run, lift, and much more. I value a healthy lifestyle and being involved with my community, so I would love to get your children engaged as well. I am flexible schedule until Aug. I am returning to school and would lose some flexibility then.
Hi! My name is Maggie and I’m a college student looking to pick up some part time gigs! I love outdoor activities, music, cooking, and running around!! I have 2 years of paid babysitting experience but have grown up with younger siblings my whole life and really feel comfortable working with kids of any age but prefer working with 2 yrs and up! I have experience in household chores, meal prep, and taking care of pets so whatever needs to be done I am more than happy to help :) I also worked as a tutor in high-school and am very available to help with school work. I’m a big fan of sending picture updates/facetime’s while babysitting so parents know everything is ok; communication is my biggest concern. Thanks for reading, I’m looking forward to meeting you and 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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
