$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Campbell, CA

I have more than 15 years of experience dealing with children from newborns to 12 years of age, twins and 3 to 5 siblings. I am CPR and first aid certified. I am bilingual (English-Spanish). I speak a little bit of German too. I enjoy working with children. They are so much fun, full of energy and love. I enjoy laughing with them. I like to teach and educate them. I have excellent references. Update: September 30th 2026. Currently looking for a job position on Saturdays and occasional on Sundays. Could be also Friday nights.

“If you're looking for a babysitter you can trust completely, Katia is the one! She has cared for our twins since they were 6 months old, and they absolutely adore her. She treats children like her own, with warmth, patience, and endless energy. Katia is always on time and 100% reliable, so you can head out for date night or a weekend plan with total peace of mind. She keeps parents in the loop with photos and video updates, so you never have to wonder how things are going. She follows your routines and rules, handles behavior with a gentle but consistent touch, and makes sure the kids are happy and well fed. She is fluent in Spanish and helped our twins become bilingual, a wonderful bonus for any family. Her English is excellent, and she communicates clearly and kindly. Kids love her, parents trust her, and she makes every visit fun and safe. We can't recommend Katia highly enough!”

Booked by 1 family in Campbell, CA

Hi! My name is Julia, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience caring for infants, toddlers, children, and pets. I currently work as a nanny in San Francisco and truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have a background in Veterinary Medicine, which has strengthened my attention to detail, patience, and ability to stay calm in any situation. Families describe me as dependable, kind, organized, and proactive. I love planning age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, reading, arts and crafts, and helping children reach developmental milestones. I’m also comfortable assisting with light household tasks related to the children, meal preparation, bedtime routines, transportation, and pet care. My goal is always to provide peace of mind for parents while making each day fun and enriching for the children in my care.

“Julia was wonderful with my two girls! She was on time, very sweet, and the girls warmed up to her quickly. I felt comfortable leaving them with her and everything went really well. I would definitely have her back!”

Elizabeth $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Liz, and I have been working with children and families for over 25 years in many different settings—as a babysitter, live-in nanny, tutor, after-school and summer program leader, scout camp staff, in-patient and out-patient mental health treatment provider, facilitating parenting classes, and as a therapist specializing in youth and families. I also grew up caring for my four younger brothers, as well as many nieces and nephews, so childcare has always been a natural part of my life. Alongside childcare, I have provided professional dog and cat sitting, cared for my own pets (including a bearded dragon!), and supported families with household tasks and cleaning. For example, I worked weekly for a family in Palo Alto for eight months, helping keep their home clean and welcoming. I especially enjoy organizing and home decor. With a background in social work and mental health, I strive to create a safe, affirming space for children and families, and I am experienced in supporting LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a minor in Music, and I enjoy incorporating creativity, patience, and structure into the care I provide. Personally, I grew up in a small mountain town in Northern Utah, but have now called the Bay Area home for the past 15 years. Outside of work, I love rock climbing, reading, playing guitar and singing, art, tabletop games, and spending time at the beach. I’m also bilingual in English and conversational/intermediate-advanced Spanish. I’m a proud parent to two wonderful kids—an 19-year-old who lives in Utah and a 6-year-old who just started 1st grade. With my youngest now in school and spending part of the week with the other parent, I have more flexibility in my schedule to provide reliable care and support for other families. I bring not only professional experience but also the heart of a parent to the work I do. I look forward to meeting you!
