$30 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I currently work with families with older children (5–16 years old), helping pick the kids up from school and taking them to after-school activities, including sports, art classes, doctor's appointments, and parties. I also do some meal prep, help with errands (e.g., returns and shopping), and babysit the kids when their parents are out. I've also worked with children with special needs, having helped raise my godson, who is autistic, and have taken Special Education training courses in college. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and can also provide references.

“Natalie has been working with our family and 3 boys (5-8-10) in San Mateo four days a week. She helps with all the boys after school activities, driving, and short term babysitting. She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.”

$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!”
