Booked by 4 families in Alviso, CA

Hi, I'm Srishti! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology living in San Jose. I have a diverse background in childcare—including experience as a neurodivergent camp counselor and as a volunteer at a local elementary school. My academic background gives me a deep understanding of child development, which helps me create supportive, engaging environments. I love keeping kids active with art projects, park outings, and playing games. I am also fully available for dog, cat, and house sitting. I have multiple local references available and would love to set up a brief introductory meeting to ensure a perfect fit for your family!

Booked by 1 family in Alviso, CA

I’m someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids! I have 5+ years of experience, I’m reliable and patient, and I love keeping kids active, happy, and engaged.

“Vittoria has been watching our two kids, ages 7 and 9, for about a year, and we adore her. She is always on time and completely reliable, but what really makes her special is how present she is with them. She does not just watch them, she plays with them, remembers their favorite books, and truly cares. This past summer, while I was working, she went above and beyond, helping the girls sort through old schoolwork, clear out clothes they had outgrown, and get organized for the next school year. She is honestly a lifesaver. She is quick to respond, sends pictures so we always know how things are going, and is wonderfully flexible when our schedule shifts. We recommend Vittoria wholeheartedly to any family looking for a sitter who is dependable, warm, and truly loves what she does.”

Booked by 1 family in Alviso, CA

Hi! My name is Danielle and I am a Registered Veterinary Technician. After working in the professional veterinary field for 10 years, I decided to pursue my love for pet sitting full time. I am comfortable with animals of all species, breeds, and temperaments, as well as those with special needs. I have many years of experience working in specialty and emergency veterinary medicine. I also have training in animal CPR and am comfortable giving medications, injections, and subcutaneous fluids. I have been caring for animals since I got my first dog at the age of 9, and successfully started my own pet care business when I was 14 years old. I have volunteered at the humane society as well as the wildlife center, and I have also assisted with the training of service dogs. I have a great passion for caring for senior animals. My wife, Bianca, is a huge animal lover as well and has been helping me with my pet sitting clients since 2016. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same love and compassion as we do our own! We are bonded and insured. Rates are based off of my experience and background as a licensed veterinary technician.

“Danielle was wonderful! I was given daily updates, with attached photos, in the morning. And typically, I would also get an evening update. My dog, Molly, is a bit persnickety when it comes to eating dinner or taking her medication, so I wanted to ensure I had a caregiver who was used to this. With Dani's training as a Vet Tech, Molly was in great hands! There was one night when Molly was not going to sleep or settling down, and Dani texted right away to ask some follow-up questions and update me. 5/5 stars -- I would highly recommend!”

London $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m London, a neuroscience major and student-athlete who has always loved working with children and hopes to continue doing so in the future. I have been babysitting for 6 years and have experience caring for children of different ages, including children with special needs. Being a student-athlete has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, communication, and time management. I love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while also encouraging their curiosity and growth. This summer, I had the opportunity to work as a camp counselor with children ages 4–12, where I planned activities, built relationships with campers, and helped create a positive experience for every child. I absolutely loved getting to be a part of their days and watching their personalities shine. I’m passionate about making kids feel valued, supported, and excited to learn and play. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family!
