Rosemary $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Rose. I’m a trusted caregiver with a lifelong passion for supporting families. Over the past several years, I’ve provided care for children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids (yes, even twins!). I also have deep experience supporting children with special needs. Beyond that, I’ve spent many years caring for the children of family and friends, so nurturing and supporting little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities, helping with homework, and ensuring they feel safe, supported, and cared for. Recently, I spent the past three years as the primary caregiver for my mother, which deepened my experience and compassion for senior care. I understand the importance of patience, dignity, and dependable support. I’m happy to assist with meal preparation, companionship, and day-to-day tasks. In addition to caregiving, I also offer household support, including doing laundry, light and deep cleaning, and running errands to help out. I’m known by family and friends as the one they call when they need help achieving a clean and organized space. I truly enjoy creating clean, tidy, and functional spaces. This stems from a childhood of supporting my father's janitorial service and owning my own home staging business. Looking forward to supporting you and your loved ones!

My name is Nina, and I am from Sacramento, CA. I am an alumni Psychology major from Menlo College. While attending Menlo College, I also played on the collegiate women's soccer team. I love outdoors and athletics. I currently work as a recruiting coordinator at Menlo College, but before that I worked at SJND High School as an Academic Success Coach. Working at SJND has helped me learn so many new things contributing to my career as a caregiver. I have a true passion for working with children and I am so excited about the opportunity to meet new families and create a relationship with kids. I hope to hear from you :)

Booked by 27 families in San Lorenzo, CA

Hi! My name is Alondra, and I am currently a senior at the University of San Francisco majoring in Nursing. My goal is to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, and I have a genuine passion for caring for children and supporting their growth and well-being. I offer reliable, compassionate childcare whenever my school schedule allows. I am CPR certified and a registered caregiver through the state, with experience caring for both children and my own grandparents. My healthcare background has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in different situations, giving parents peace of mind while their children are in my care. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, so I am happy to communicate with bilingual families or help children practice Spanish. I’ve also been dancing since I was 3 years old and love incorporating fun, creative activities like dancing, crafts, reading, outdoor play, and games into my time with kids. I love dogs, so I’m more than comfortable caring for pets as well! My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person caring for their children, and I strive to be dependable, attentive, and communicative every step of the way. I look forward to meeting your family!

Alondra came to sit for our two kids this weekend and she was wonderful! She arrived a few minutes early. She listened closely to my instructions and asked questions. All my instructions were followed and my kids said they had a great time with her. She also cleaned up after the kids which was so appreciated! We would love to have Alondra back to sit again!

Hello My name is Karina, I am 52 years old and for 26 years I have been working with babies, I have experience with babies since 7 weeks of age, and able to care for 2 babies at the same time. I love walking, going to the park library doing activities with the kids . I have excellent reference

Karina came last minute to help us today as I’m recovering from surgery. It was such a relief to have her! We have a 3 year old and a 19 months old so it’s never easy to have new caregivers, but Karina did great. She is experienced, was very patient and kind, and helped clean up around the house. It was also great to chat a bit in Spanish. We’ll definitely have her again!
