Hello! My name is Deborah, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience. I began my first nanny position at 18 and was a live-in caregiver for two years. I have since worked with children ranging from infants as young as 6 months to preteens. Over the years, I’ve provided excellent care including diaper changes, bath time, meal preparation, school pick-ups, after-school activities, pet care, and house sitting. With a bachelor’s degree in Public Health, I’m passionate about fostering nurturing, educational, and engaging environments for children. I love creating activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and movement, helping kids burn energy in healthy, fun ways. I’m active, dependable, and deeply enjoy supporting families by providing not just care, but genuine partnership in their children’s growth and development. And as an animal lover, I’m always happy to care for pets, too (unfortunately not cats as I am allergic).
“Debbie has babysat for my grandchildren. I have known her for many years since she was in her teens as she was my high school student. She is extremely good with children, fun, caring and reliable. I highly recommend her for any childcare position.”
Hello! My name is Fatima, I am a college student, I offer child care, pet care, and house care services. I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old, I am Mexican, I am an only child but I have a big family and I would be in charge of taking care of my little cousins and learned as I got older and then i would take care of my nephews and nieces, my responsibilities were at the time making sure they ate and did their homework, while their parents did their work and their children didn’t interrupt them. Depending on age depends on what I do, with infants and toddlers I change diapers bottle fed and prep their baby food. Kids I cook, play with them help them with their homework and help them clean up. I have experience in house care as well I cook and clean, house will always be clean and never messy under my care. I love cats and dogs and will be able to care for them as well!
“She is responsible, warm, professional, energetic and we can’t wait for her to come back! ”
Hi! I’m Alyssa, a 20-year-old college student currently studying Psychology. I’ve babysat for family and friends before, and I work at a daycare school for kids ranging from infants to elementary grades. I’m calm under pressure, dependable, and able to connect with kids pretty easily. I also have experience with tutoring and enjoy cooking, so I’m happy to help with homework and meal prep when needed. I have a very flexible schedule for the summer and would love to help out! Looking forward to connecting!
“Alyssa was energetic, attentive and engaging. My daughter had an amazing time with her! ”
Hi! I’m Alyssa, a reliable and caring childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I’m currently a lead preschool teacher, where I work closely with children ages 2–5, helping support their development through play, structure, and creativity. In addition to my professional experience, I regularly care for my younger autistic brother, which has given me strong skills in patience, communication, and understanding diverse needs. I am transitioning from preschool to 1 on 1 care because i believe the connection you make with a child is so important in helping them grow! I will be going to Sf state this fall for speech pathology and am looking for part time work to help me focus on school. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment—whether that’s doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or keeping a consistent routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and always aim to make both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
