Hi, my name is Vanessa. I am a full-time middle school teacher and I have baby-sat and nannied part-time over the last 20+years. I am CPR certified and registered with Trustline. I have worked in child care centers and preschools while employed with Child Care Careers. I was repeatedly asked to substitute at PalCare in Burlingame because I know how to care for and work with infants and toddlers. For a few months, I taught a Spanish class to Pre-K students for the Casita de Los Ninos program located at Village Park Preschool, Burlingame. From 2012 to 2013 I tutored 3rd and 4th grade students in reading with the program Reading Partners at Park Elementary School in San Mateo. In 2010 I received my B.A. in Liberal Studies and Spanish at Sonoma State University. I love working with children so much that I pursued my teaching credential at San Francisco State University and am currently teaching at Burlingame Intermediate School. I feel that children need to be engaged with art, language, math, science, and play! I'm a big fan of imaginative play, story time, drawing, play dough, and board games. If you're looking for a sitter who will do a lot more than put on a movie for your children, you've come to the right profile! :)

**Not available from Jan 17- Feb 7, 2026** Please make sure to read before booking: Hello, My name is Maria and I'm 70 years old. Yes, I understand than that's older than most nannies on here but I'm still very active and I love kids. I've been babysitting since I was young, being that I'm the oldest of seven siblings. Most of them see me as a mother figure now. I have my own kids, or should I say adults now, who are 34 and 32 years old. So I pretty much know how to raise children. I have nannied for couple families (ages ranging from 4-14), my longest being seven years with the same family. I pretty much became part of their family. I would cook, clean, watch the dog, drive her to activities, drop her off and pick her up from school, etc. I've also nannied triplets, so I'm pretty comfortable with that too. I have a great driving record and a safe, reliable Prius C. * Because I am older now, I prefer jobs that do not include driving children* Although my english isn't that great, please have patience with me, I understand it perfectly. I'm also fluent in Spanish. The past couple years, I've been a caregiver for an older couple but I have decided I want to go back to nanning. I like having an impact on kids when they're young. I'm looking for occasional jobs right now. I look forward to meeting you and your child/children.

Hi! My name is Eileen. With 15 years of experience working with children aged 3 months to 14 years;—I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. Whether engaging in creative play, helping with homework, or supporting developmental milestones, I enjoy and take pride in contributing to each child’s overall enrichment and well-being. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Human Health and Disease from USC, providing me with a solid understanding of child development, health, and safety. I’m also CPR certified, ensuring I am well-prepared to handle any situation with care and professionalism. If you’re looking for a dependable, energetic nanny who values creativity, education, and fostering meaningful connections, I’d be glad to support your family in helping provide a happy, enriching environment for your children!

“Eileen has been looking after my 10 month old daughter and 3 year old son. She is a kind and warm soul who treats toddlers and infants with grace and respect. She is quick to bond and laugh with the kids but she can also be firm when the situation (tantruming toddler) requires it. She is creative and imaginative, loves to do arts and crafts, spend time outdoors, read stories or talk about the kids' favorite subject for hours. She is reliable, always on time, and all in all a joy to work with. She respects the personal space of our family and adjusts to our work and personal life routine seamlessly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Eileen.”

Booked by 37 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hello! I graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in Child and Adolescent Development. I have my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education, which adds to my knowledge of children. I currently work for a public school district where I work with children that have special needs. Prior to that, I was a teacher at a private school. I have worked with a variety of ages, but primarily with 3-4 year olds for 5 years. I have worked as a nanny for two children for 5 years, while also babysitting for many years before this. When babysitting, I primarily have worked with school aged children, K-6th grade. I have had some experience with infant children under the age of 1 for about four years. I hope that I can be of assistance to you and your family. Thank you!

“Valerie was terrific with my girls. Will definitely use her again”

-Not currently taking jobs unless occasional or one-time care- Hello, I’m Mercedes! It’s a pleasure to connect with you. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA, and I’m Montessori trained for ages 0–6, including Early Childhood Education. I work part-time in a childcare environment, and the rest of my time is spent developing curriculum for children across different counties in California. I’m comfortable working with a wide range of age groups. Part of what makes me effective in my curriculum work is the hands-on experience I gain by spending time with children in both 1:1 and group settings, including preschool. I focus on creating a positive, supportive environment through meaningful activities — arts and crafts, outdoor play, books, and creative projects. I pride myself on being reliable and fully present with every child I care for, approaching each task with enthusiasm and dedication. I’m also fully CPR/First Aid certified and prioritize health and safety in every aspect of my work. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me — I look forward to the possibility of working with your family! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a wonderful day!
