Hi! My name is Elena, I’m 31 years old and I’ve been working as a caregiver for babies and toddlers for the past 10 years.

Luciana $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Luci, and I’m currently studying Elementary Education because working with kids has always been something I’m passionate about. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors and family friends for years, and I truly love getting to know each child and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, outdoor activities, and whatever they love to do. Whether it’s helping with homework, bedtime routines, or just making sure your little ones have a great time, I always treat every family with care and respect. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, loving care for your children!
Kellie $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi! I am a sitter with nearly 10 years of experience. Right now I am looking for occasional work to go alongside my 9-5. So think date nights, weekends in the day, or help after school! I do not have my own car but I have a clean driving record and am happy to drive your car if needed. I have worked with ages ranging from 6 months - 13 years. I previously worked as an English teacher in Spain with children ages 3-12, where I helped in social science, earth science, art, language and physical education classes. Additionally, I was an outdoor adventure camp counselor in San Jose where I taught outdoor sports, such as kayaking and mountain biking to children ages 4-8. And I have babysat children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am comfortable with all things baby to helping with middle school homework! I also enjoy doing fun games, crafts and activities with kids. I am passionate about teaching children about the outdoors and furthering their educations, and I am sure to make every child feel comfortable and safe in my care. I love all animals, and am willing to help clean up around the house a bit and do some cooking. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!
