I graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Biology, B.S. but I was a transfer student from Foothill College in Los Altos, CA. Growing up, i played basketball, volleyball and swimming. I swam collegiately for 2 years. I have been babysitting for over 13 years and have had a wide range of experience. I have babysat children from the ages of 3 months until 12 years old and have taken on a variety of different tasks with families. I have helped with homework, bed time routines, mommy’s helper (including dishes, organizing, floor cleaning, etc), and so much more. I currently work full time at Stanford University for the Department of Emergency Medicine as a Project Manager for both Strategy and DEI. My current availability is in the evenings and on weekends occasionally. Please ask me any questions, looking forward to working with you!

Hello, I’m Karen, I’m a children’s psychologist, and I have over 9 years of experience taking care of kids. I understand about children’s development and I have a lot of experience with special needs children especially autism disorder and Downs Syndrome. I also worked in a day care with children between 4 months and 6 years old. I love to read and do art and crafts, take them to parks to explore nature and to spend energy doing things they like.

Hello! My name is Amada, and I’ve had the joy of caring for children and supporting Bay Area families for the past 15 years. I’m currently offering dependable backup care for times when your regular caregiver isn’t available. My love for children began early as the oldest of 10 and grew even deeper through the experience of raising my own twins, who are now college graduates. I especially enjoy caring for newborns through age 7 and have lots of experience with twins and multiples. I love creating a calm, nurturing environment with storytelling, age-appropriate play, and plenty of warmth and encouragement. I’m also currently training to become a certified infant sleep consultant and enjoy supporting new parents with gentle routines and postpartum care. I’d love to be a trusted helping hand when your family needs one!

Games, crafts, tutoring, and homework. 🚙 I drive my own car. 💉My household is fully vaccinated and all of my vaccines and tests are updated (Covid, Flu, T-Dap, TB test, etc). 🥰 I treat children as my own and love to make them feel safe with me.

I could consider caring for a sick child but please do inform me beforehand. I have other children to protect. Thank you for understanding. 🧩 If your child has special needs, it would be helpful to add it to the job description. 💩 I usually carry gloves with me, but it would be nice if you provided them if your child needs diaper changes. 🗓️ Please check my calendar for my availability. 🦄My babysitter/teacher goal: Help children create the fondest childhood memory they could have! 👩‍💻Here is my LinkedIn account if you want to take a look:[removed] (Yes, I was a journalist before I found my love for working with children!) 💰Payment method: I prefer Zelle or cash, but I also accept check or credit card payments through this app Thank you for your interest! 💕❤️💕 Looking forward to caring for and meeting your family.
