Heyyy families! My name is Brooklyn, I’m 27 years old. I have my A.A is Psychology and am pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional science with a Dietetics concentration. I’m am looking for part-time nanny opportunities. I have been working with kids for over 5 years, with children as little as 5 months old to 16 year olds. I’m young, I’m active, and I know all the new trends these kids are into these days😂 I can help with homework and I always cater a fun and safe environment for your kid to be a kid while also aiding in their milestones! I am also looking for occasional/ regular house sitting opportunities so store my profile away for the holidays, vacations, or just being out of town, when you need your home to be watched and cared for! I’m looking forward to hearing from you all!
“She was great and showed up on time. Very communicative and really helpful with my toddler. ”
Hi, I'm Srishti! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology living in San Jose. I have a diverse background in childcare—including experience as a neurodivergent camp counselor and as a volunteer at a local elementary school. My academic background gives me a deep understanding of child development, which helps me create supportive, engaging environments. I love keeping kids active with art projects, park outings, and playing games. I am also fully available for dog, cat, and house sitting. I have multiple local references available and would love to set up a brief introductory meeting to ensure a perfect fit for your family!
I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids! I have 5+ years of experience, I’m reliable and patient, and I love keeping kids active, happy, and engaged.
“We've had the joy of working with Vitoria for a year and a half, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Vitoria helps with our two boys (5 and 7) - managing the morning routine, getting them ready and off to school, handling pickups and dropoffs, and driving them to activities. She is unfailingly punctual and reliable; in eighteen months, we have never once had to worry about whether the boys were where they needed to be, on time and in good hands. As working parents, that kind of dependability is priceless. But what sets Vitoria apart is how deeply she cares. She's warm, patient, and attentive, and our boys absolutely adore her - she's become part of the rhythm of our family. Mornings that used to be chaotic are now calm, and our kids genuinely light up when she arrives. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly wonderful with children, look no further. We'd recommend Vitoria to anyone without hesitation.”
Hello! I am an undergraduate student at Santa Clara University majoring in Civil Engineering. I have over six years of babysitting experience and have worked for two years at elementary schools as a paraeducator. I have experience working with children of all ages and enjoy planning activities, playing, and staying actively engaged with kids. I am very hands-on, patient, and always willing to play and interact as much as possible. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, comfortable and experienced with pets, and I am happy to help tidy up when needed. I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children.
Hi! I’m London, a neuroscience major and student-athlete who has always loved working with children and hopes to continue doing so in the future. I have been babysitting for 6 years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including children with special needs. Being a student-athlete has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, communication, and time management. I love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while also encouraging their curiosity and growth. This summer, I had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor with children ages 4–12, where I planned activities, built relationships with campers, and helped create a positive experience for every child. I absolutely loved getting to be a part of their days and watching their personalities shine. I’m passionate about making kids feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and play. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for 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
