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!

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.

Hi there! 👋 I'm Paveerat, but everyone calls me Pearl. I've spent over 20 years caring for children, and babies, toddlers, and kids up to about 10 are my specialty. The youngest baby I've cared for was just 1 month old. As an au pair, I lived with a family for two years and cared for their two little ones, who were 1½ and 2½ when I started. I've also worked in preschools and summer camps. I love getting kids outside! We go to the park, the playground, museums, or anywhere they're excited about. On days we stay home, I plan play that fits their age, like blocks and pretend play for little ones, or crafts and games for older kids. What families tell me sets me apart: • Babies and toddlers are second nature to me. Bottles, diapers, naps, and keeping a newly mobile baby safe. • I'm calm and creative, whether it's a rainy afternoon or a meltdown before bedtime. • I use positive discipline. No yelling, no fear, just connection and clear boundaries. • I follow your routines and rules exactly, from mealtime to bedtime. • Kids open up to me fast. I think it's because I take them seriously. I'm available weekday evenings from 5:30 PM to midnight and all day on Saturdays. I'm perfect for date nights, events, or a regular go-to sitter. I'd love to hear about your family. Send me a message! Thank you, Pearl

“She kept Jack extremely busy with great games and crafts - was great with my crazy dog too!”

Booked by 71 families in Half Moon Bay, CA

Hello, my name is Cagla. I hold a master’s degree and have been working with children and families since 2013. My experience includes working as an au pair in the U.S. as well as supporting families through after-school educational programs and family-focused care services. I understand the different needs of children at various developmental stages and adapt my approach accordingly, and I consistently receive positive feedback from families for my professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to build trust.

“Cagla has been a repeat babysitter many times for us over the past year for our kids aged 2 and 4. She is punctual, responsive, and has great availability. She even traveled north of SF to babysit during a recent family trip, which gave us great piece of mind since we knew and trusted her already. What stands out about Cagla compared to other other caregivers we've worked with (and why we continue to work with her) is the amount of energy, drive and attention she has in her work with children. She knows what ages various milestones happen (e.g. separation anxiety) and is prepared to handle them. She always asks the important practical questions about routines and schedules, and provides a clear update at the end of the stay. She is warm and plays with our kids on their level, but also very clear with them when they are crossing boundaries they shouldn't. Our children look forward to spending time with her!”
