Hello, my name is Leah I am 20 years old and I love children! If you were to have me as your nanny/babysitter during the week you’d be making a great decision, I take care of my cousins all the time. I enjoy playing with kids, helping them with homework, making after school snacks and even gaining better experience with children’s development.

I have always enjoyed sports, arts and crafts painting specifically and music, I’d be so happy to share my creativity with a good loving family! I am currently realtor based in San Mateo, with that being said I hold myself accountable to being responsive and efficient with any task at hand when in a relationship based business!I can guarantee loyalty and good communication with parents and I’d love to be there to help.

Booked by 1 family in San Bruno, CA

My name is Victoria, and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. Growing up in a big family with 7 siblings and 21 nephews and nieces, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I have years of hands-on experience with children of all ages. With so many little ones in my own family, I am comfortable with the joys and challenges that come with every stage of childhood. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing activities, or simply being a warm and reliable presence, I love being a helping hand. I am also happy to assist with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands, making daily life a little easier for the families I work with. When it comes to senior care, my big family has taught me the value of looking after those who need extra support. I am patient, attentive, and always ready to help with meals, appointments, or simply good company. If your family could use an extra pair of loving, capable hands, I'd love to connect!

Lavinia $30 per hour for 1 child

I have a degree in Psychology from UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), in Brazil. When I first came to the U.S.(96) I was a stay at home mom. my kids were 7 and 2. I've been working with kids (other than mine) since 2003. I have been serving and helping families with children ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. I think it's fun and very rewarding to see any child grow, and I'm happy and proud to be a part of a child's development, as well as give parents a helping hand in their journey of raising their children.

"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!"
