My name is Cynthia, and I’ve been a professional nanny for over 19 years. I truly love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for children to grow and thrive. Families I’ve worked with describe me as caring, reliable, flexible, and honest. I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children, and I’m always ready to adapt to each family’s unique needs and routines. I’m currently looking for a new family to work with long-term and bring my years of experience, warmth, and dedication to your home.
Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I have experience with taking care of both children and babies. I've taken care of babies 6 months+ and also older kids 2 yrs -16 yrs. In addition to babysitting, I help kids with their homework and provide school pick-ups and drop-offs, along with errands/shopping for parents. My experience includes play activities, going to the park, making meals, story time and bedtime routines. For babies bottle feedings, bathing, and changing diapers. I've also worked with special needs kids, having helped raised my godson who is autistic, and my prior experience in Special Education training courses. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and also can provide references.
“Natalie has been working with our family and 3 boys (5-8-10) in San Mateo four days a week. She helps with all the boys after school activities, driving, and short term babysitting. She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.”
Hi, nice to meet you! I'm a medical student in SF looking for occasional and/or weekly babysitting. I've been babysitting for toddlers and elementary school aged kids since my high school years, but I am comfortable with kids of all ages! I love playing music, dancing, reading, cooking, and crafting with kids:)
Hello! My name is Chloe. I do have a day job but it tends to be very flexible, allowing me to have mornings and nights open . I’ve been babysitting for over 5 years now, primarily helping with kids between the ages 4 and 10. Tasks I regularly do while babysitting are cooking, cleaning, taking the kids for some time to play outdoors, take them to and from school, etc. I also used to assistant coach soccer so I don’t mind working with large groups of 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!"
