Paloma $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a 29-year-old Speech and Language Therapist with a Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy and a genuine love of working with children. I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities, including children with additional needs, and I’m patient, caring, responsible, and creative. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through play, activities, reading, and outdoor time. I’m also fluent in English, French, and Spanish, so I’d be happy to speak any of these languages with your child. I’m currently looking to babysit alongside my work as a therapist and would love to help families with their childcare needs!

Andee 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Stanford, 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!”
