Hi everyone,my name is Olga and I am a responsible, energetic, friendly, sociable, punctual, and easy going person. I enjoy spending time with kids. I used to work as a teacher assistant when I was in my country. I have experience at taking care toddlers, infants and school age kids.

I have experience at date nights and weekends. I have my own car, and I have references. I will be happy to help you with your kids. Hope to hear from you soon!!
“Olga was great!”
Hi- my name is Jamie, originally from Los Angeles, CA. I grew up in a big and very family oriented environment. I began babysitting at the age of 15. I have babysat children ranging from the ages of 2months-15 years old. I am comfortable babysitting children of all ages. I have done a lot of volunteer work in schools,daycares, churches, and more which have all required me to interact with children. I am a very responsible, patient, hardworking, approachable, nice, funny, energetic, understanding, and loving person. When I babysit I enjoy playing sports outside, doing crafts, playing board games, reading, and much more. I always love helping kids with homework. On my free time I love to read, watch movies, and have a good time. Overall, I like to believe that I am an outgoing individual that loves to be around kids and has a lot of patience.
Hi families! I’m Marilyn! I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for kids from toddlers to teens (ages 2–13). I love keeping things fun with outings to the park, library story times, or helping with ballet, swimming, and after-school activities. I’m currently working with a few local families and am happy to help with light errands, dog walks (I’m a big animal lover!), and keeping things tidy around the house. I’m reliable, warm, and always happy to plan ahead especially for date nights or evening babysitting. Looking forward to meeting your family!
I have been working with children for about 25 years. I have experience working with multiple children at a time and children different ages, including infants. Working with children has always been my passion. I am very energetic and love taking kids for walks, to the park, library, enjoy doing art projects, read books and just love watching kids grow and watch them learn new things. I also speak German and Bosnia . I am a mother of two school aged children. My son is 18 and daughter is 16 years old. I have worked with many families and therefore have many references. I am available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting.
“Alena was great with our fussy toddler! She’s clearly very experienced and comfortable with young children. ”
Hi families! 😊 Taking care of children has been a big part of my life for more than 7 years. What I love most about being a nanny is becoming someone children feel completely comfortable and safe with, creating a special bond with them, and sharing the joy that little ones bring into our lives. I’m originally from Turkey and began my childcare journey as an au pair in the U.S. After four years in San Francisco, I got married and moved to Menlo Park with my husband, who is a software engineer. I’m currently in law school, but childcare has remained an important part of my life throughout my studies. I truly enjoy and didn’t want to give up even while pursuing my education. I’m Montessori-trained and experienced with sleep training, potty training, establishing routines, and supporting children as they become more independent. I’m also comfortable handling the everyday parts of family life, including children’s laundry, meal prep, bath time, diaper changes, tidying, and planning fun and age-appropriate activities. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as calm, dependable, proactive, and flexible. I’m someone who notices what needs to be done and likes making a family’s day a little easier, not just waiting to be asked. I also genuinely enjoy cooking and am happy to prepare meals based on your family’s preferences. 😊 More than anything, I value building a close and lasting relationship with the families I work with. I want children to see me not only as their nanny, but also as a trusted role model and “big sister” who cares about them, teaches them, has fun with them, and helps them grow. If you’re looking for someone experienced, warm, responsible, and genuinely invested in your children, I’d love to meet your family!
