Lavinia $30 per hour for 1 child

I have a degree in Psychology from UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), in Brazil. When I first came to the U.S.(96) I was a stay at home mom. my kids were 7 and 2. I've been working with kids (other than mine) since 2003. I have been serving and helping families with children ranging in ages from 4 months to 6 years old. I think it's fun and very rewarding to see any child grow, and I'm happy and proud to be a part of a child's development, as well as give parents a helping hand in their journey of raising their children.

Melissa 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Melissa, a reliable and caring sitter based in Pacifica. I’ve spent several years nannying and babysitting throughout college and beyond, working with children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve cared for infants as young as three weeks old (including overnight support), as well as toddlers and older kids. I really enjoy creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment whether that’s helping with routines, playtime, or simply being a steady and positive presence. I also bring a strong background in supporting families through my professional experience, which has helped me develop patience, organization, and clear communication. I understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease and informed. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, or homework support. Looking forward to connecting!

“Melissa is a really sweet and responsible babysitter. She helped us with our twins (21 mos) and 4.5 year old last summer on the weekends. She is playful and kind and extremely helpful around the house. ”
