I’m an experienced and caring nanny with 9 years of experience working with newborns, babies, toddlers, and children of different ages. I’m CPR certified in California through the American Safety and Health Institute, fully vaccinated, and up to date on all my vaccines. I also have experience caring for children with allergies. I love doing arts and crafts with children, playing games, spending time outdoors, and planning fun, age appropriate activities. I also have hands on experience with potty training and sleep training. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, preparing meals for children, doing their laundry, organizing their clothes and spaces, and planning activities and outings. I’m responsible, organized, proactive, caring, and dependable. Most importantly, I always want the children I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and happy with me.
“Debora was great with our son and we would definitely recommend her! ”
Hello! My name is Lori, and I’m an experienced, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. After 15 wonderful years in my professional career, I recently stepped away to embrace a more balanced lifestyle. I’m now looking for a few babysitting opportunities each week where I can do something I truly enjoy—caring for and connecting with children. Being a daycare provider help me financially through college. I’m a mom of two children and raised them as a single parent, so I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I was also the primary caregiver for my father before he passed away, which further strengthened my patience, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I currently babysit a 2½-year-old on a consistent basis and have been part of his life since he was a baby. I’ve also volunteered at Stanford Children’s Hospital in the Newborn Hearing Screening Unit, an experience that gave me additional exposure to newborns and families. I’m nurturing, patient, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences and understand the importance of keeping parents informed and comfortable while they’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!
I have 5 years of experience caring for children from 3 months to 12 years old, always with love, patience, and reliability. I am fluent in English, a native Portuguese speaker, a pharmacist in Brazil, certified in First Aid and CPR, and trained in child care for lab tests with experience in hospital routines. I also have volunteer experience in daycare centers for low-income families, knowledge of sleep training and baby-led weaning, excellent references, and I’m fully vaccinated. I own a car, have insurance, and a clean driving record.
I am an experienced preschool teacher with 11 years of experience caring for children from infancy to age 5. I’m CPR and first aid certified, patient, reliable, and committed to providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care. I am currently seeking a part time babysitting position.
Hello! I am a Bay Area animal caregiver. I started walking and then boarding & sitting. I love bonding and delivering the best experience curated around your dog’s needs and interests. Looking forward to meeting you!
“Jordan has been walking our dog for quite a while. Roger loves her and she's consistent, friendly, and professional. Highly recommended!”
