"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I have experience with taking care of both children and babies. I've taken care of babies 6 months+ and also older kids 2 yrs -16 yrs. In addition to babysitting, I help kids with their homework and provide school pick-ups and drop-offs, along with errands/shopping for parents. My experience includes play activities, going to the park, making meals, story time and bedtime routines. For babies bottle feedings, bathing, and changing diapers. I've also worked with special needs kids, having helped raised my godson who is autistic, and my prior experience in Special Education training courses. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and also can provide references.
“Natalie has been working with our family and 3 boys (5-8-10) in San Mateo four days a week. She helps with all the boys after school activities, driving, and short term babysitting. She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.”

Pattara $30 per hour for 1 child
Hi, my name is May. I have over 7 years of experience as a live-in nanny and au pair, caring for children from infants to school age. I truly enjoy supporting kids through every stage of growth — from diapering and potty training to homework help and after-school activities. Over the years, I’ve cared for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged kids (up to 4 at once!) and have helped families with everything from school drop-offs to bedtime routines. I love keeping children engaged with creative play, reading, outdoor activities, and structured routines that make them feel secure. In addition to childcare, I also provide household support including meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, organization, and managing busy family schedules. Safety is always a priority — I’m CPR and First Aid certified, fully vaccinated, and I have a clean driving record. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and caring. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment where children thrive and parents feel supported.
