I came to the United States from Ukraine two and a half years ago to help my brother care for his children. At that time, the older girl was five years old and the younger had just been born. I cared for them full-time until recently, when the younger one began kindergarten. Through this experience, I discovered how much I enjoy working with children and how rewarding caregiving can be. My professional background is in healthcare — I am trained as a nurse — which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and attentiveness to others’ needs. In addition, I have completed CPR and First Aid training here in the U.S., so families can feel confident that their children are in safe hands. Now that my niece is in school, I am looking for a new opportunity where I can bring my skills, experience, and genuine love of caregiving to support other families. I am dedicated, nurturing, and trustworthy, and I treat every child as if they were my own.

“Tania is an excellent baby very kind and professional, I highly recommend her, she’s our favorite babysitter ”

Sarah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarah, I absolutely love being around kids and helping them learn and navigate through everyday life. I love creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for both kids and parents! I have experience caring for children of different ages and I’m comfortable helping with pick-up, play time, homework, and light housekeeping. My goal is to provide attentive care while making sure your children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I am certified in both CPR and first aid. I also have a well maintained car (2014 Subaru Outback) that is up to date with maintenance. I also have experience with special needs! My little sister has down syndrome so I’ve been around special needs my entire life and not just Down syndrome but Autism as well!

Yesenia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Yesenia, and I’m so excited to offer child care this summer to support your family. With over 10 years of experience working with children from 6 months to 12 years old, I bring a warm heart, a creative mind, and a lot of energy to everything I do. I’ve worked as a babysitter, in daycares, after-school programs, and summer camps, and I’ve even performed in children’s shows at California’s Great America—so keeping kids smiling and engaged is second nature to me! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science (Preparation for Teaching) from San Jose State University and a Master’s degree in Teaching from Santa Clara University. I’ve also taught in bilingual classrooms for students in TK through 6th grade. Education is a huge passion of mine, and I love helping children grow, explore, and learn in fun and meaningful ways. I am passionate about working with kids because they keep me young at heart! I’m constantly inspired by their natural curiosity, joy, and honesty. From DIY art projects to story time to nature scavenger hunts, I believe in keeping kids busy in ways that continue to spark curiosity and creativity. Through it all, I lead with patience, positivity, and consistency. I believe children learn best by example, and I aim to show them how to be kind, respectful, curious, and confident in themselves. I’m caring, dependable, communicative, and always ensure I create a safe, supportive space where kids can be themselves. Outside of work, I love arts and crafts, reading, hiking, beach days, and staying active—especially with my dog and bearded dragon by my side. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, nurturing, and genuinely passionate about working with kids, I’d love to be a part of your family’s summer!
