Yoselyn $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Yoselyn, and I am a responsible, caring, and dependable childcare provider with 2 years of experience working in a licensed family daycare, caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I am a native Spanish speaker with conversational English skills and am certified in Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, organized, and attentive to children’s needs. I love helping children learn, grow, and feel confident while providing reliable and compassionate care. I am happy to assist with child-related tasks, including preparing simple meals and snacks, keeping children’s areas clean and organized, tidying play spaces, and supporting daily routines. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and committed to creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for their children.

Andee 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Atherton, CA

Hi! My name is Andee, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience working primarily with children ages 4-12, along with 7 years of experience as an educator. After working as a special education and elementary school teacher, I am now earning my credential in mathematics to become a middle school teacher. I love incorporating learning into everyday moments and am always happy to support with homework or provide math tutoring during our time together at no extra cost. I’ve led summer enrichment programs including science and cooking camps, so I enjoy creating engaging, structured activities. I also greatly value the importance of unstructured play and giving kids the space to relax, explore, and be themselves. I strive to find a thoughtful balance between fun, creativity, and gentle structure. I have experience working with neurodivergent children and take on a collaborative, individualized approach, partnering closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs so they can feel supported, comfortable, and confident. One of my personal passions is financial literacy, and I love finding age-appropriate ways to introduce simple money mindset concepts through fun, optional activities (only if this is something your family is interested in!). I’m a big animal lover and grew up with pets: currently I have two cats, Dougie and Mac (named after rappers), and a sweet dog named Mila, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals. I also have a reliable car and a clean driving record. Above all, I aim to create a warm, positive, and dependable environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together. Due to my full-time work + school schedule, my availability isn't as open as I would like. However, I do occasionally have weekend or night openings when schedules align, so feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family! 😊

“Andee was an absolute joy! She came prepared with arts and crafts, was a great communicator, and immediately connected with both of our kids. They absolutely raved about her afterward. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily have her back!”

Paula 2 reviews
$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Atherton, CA

Hello! My name is Paula (children call me Lala/Yaga) and I’m a fun and caring 30-year-old with over 10 years of experience working with children. Throughout the years, I’ve worked as an au pair, live-in nanny, full-time nanny, co-teacher at a Reggio Emilia inspired school in Brazil, and most recently as a teacher at a nonprofit organization supporting families at risk and children with diverse medical needs. I also spent four years as a family consultant/caregiver for an amazing family in San Francisco, supporting them through infancy and toddlerhood while helping create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I’m currently a master’s student at SF State for Early Childhood Education with concentration in Special Needs. Caring for children has always been my passion. I love seeing their excitement as they learn something new and the way they view the world with such imagination. I’m proactive, responsible, and have wonderful references from my past positions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love the chance to share my experience and work with your family! Warmly, Paula

“I can't recommend Paula enough! Her background in Early Childhood Education truly makes her exceptional. She isn't just a caregiver—she's an active teacher who cares both about the child and the family as a whole. She brings so much intentionality to our days. She plans fun, age-appropriate activities that make learning feel natural. Her knowledge of child development is clear in how well our child has developed into a thoughtful and curious young man. She's calm, professional, and I completely trust her. I also consider her language skills with Spanish and Portuguese to be an huge plus. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as a partner!”

Valentyna 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi - My name is Val. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 18 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.

“Valentyna has been a wonderful caregiver for our young children. She is consistently punctual, incredibly responsible, and always communicates clearly, which gives us complete peace of mind. Beyond her professionalism, Valentyna is a genuinely kind person. Because she is a mother herself, she brings a deep level of understanding, empathy, and patience to her caregiving. We highly recommend her to any family looking for someone reliable and wonderful!”

Jhanine $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! My name is Jhanine, I’m 22 years old and currently a nursing student pursuing my passion for caring for others. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for working with kids. There’s something so genuine, energetic, and joyful about being around children that really inspires me and reminds me why I chose nursing in the first place. Although I haven’t officially worked in a pediatric setting yet, I come from a big, loving, and caring family where looking out for one another is just part of who we are. Being surrounded by cousins, siblings, and family gatherings has naturally helped me develop patience, warmth, and a nurturing personality. Through babysitting, I’ve been able to bring that same positive, supportive energy and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for kids. I’m excited to continue growing in my nursing journey and hopefully work with children in the future, combining my education with the genuine care and compassion that comes from my family roots.
