Hi families! My name is Karol. I’m an experienced babysitter who speaks English and Spanish. I’ve been caring for kids for over 3 years—ranging from 8-month-old babies to 12-year-olds. I’m active, patient, and love doing both outdoor and indoor activities with children. I also offer light housekeeping, pet care, and senior assistance. I’m CPR certified and always make safety a top priority. Looking forward to supporting your family!

Booked by 58 families in Campbell, CA

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I have experience with kids and pets! :) Please message me for additional availability as I work full time (11 AM - 8 PM) with semi flexible hours and am a fur mom. I can try to accommodate if noticed in advance. ***Note: I am only looking for occasional jobs*** PET CARE: I currently have 2 puppies and a cat at home (11 month old maltipoo, 11 month old domestic shorthair, and 6 month old mini aussie). All three are extremely sociable and friendly towards other animals. We currently live in an apartment, but do our best to make up for the lack of a backyard by taking them to the dog park, on drives, play dates, and giving them enrichment toys! CHILDCARE: I have mostly worked with ages 4-12 prior to COVID-19. However, I have worked with younger ages and am comfortable with them. In all 4 years of my high school career, I taught children from 2nd grade to 11th grade, so I am also able to help with any homework necessary! With that being said, I have experience in breaking the ice with children slowly to gain their trust, as well as yours as a parent. As a person, I am extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings, so I will always assure that your child(ren)’s safety comes first. I look forward to meeting you and your family and to also help you in anyway that I can!

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant for a veterinary cardiologist. I’ve been caring for kids since I was about 12 years old—starting with my younger sister, then helping out family and friends. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Outside of my passion for caring for animals. Most recently, I worked as a nanny and house manager for a wonderful family over the course of three years. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, and I take pride in being reliable and proactive in helping households run smoothly. Looking forward to connecting with you! Cancellation Policy: Full payment is required for cancellations made within 5 hours of the scheduled time. Thanks for understanding!

“Great sitter, would definitely use again!”

Booked by 8 families in Campbell, CA

Hello! My name is Samantha. I am a caring, responsible, and patient nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for parents to feel that their children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR certified, which allows me to provide an extra level of safety and attention when caring for children. My background in healthcare has helped me develop strong skills in responsibility, observation, and providing compassionate care. I enjoy creating a positive and nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable, learn, and have fun. I love engaging kids in activities such as reading, creative play, outdoor walks, and helping them build healthy routines. Families describe me as trustworthy, attentive, and warm. My goal is always to support children's growth and well-being while giving parents peace of mind. I would be happy to help care for your little ones!
