Hello there, My name is Afsana—just like it’s spelled! A fun fact about my name is that it means fairytale or story, which I think is a perfect way to connect with children. Taking care of children is not as easy as many people think, but it’s something that has always come naturally to me. I’m the second oldest of seven siblings, so growing up I often took on the role of a second mom—making sure everyone was safe, supported, and taken care of. That experience helped me develop patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of children. Another fun fact about me is that I work in the dental health field, mainly with kids. I work in a pediatric dental and orthodontic office, so you might occasionally hear me talk about dental health—please excuse me if I do! While I may not have formal childcare certifications, I have years of real-life experience caring for children and building meaningful connections with them. I enjoy engaging with kids through books, movies, games, and everyday activities. I truly believe that when you’re around children, you have to be a kid at heart. That’s how they feel comfortable opening up, being themselves, and sharing their little adventures with you. Many people have told me that I’m a “child whisperer” because of how naturally I connect with kids. I love their curiosity and I’m always happy to answer the thousand questions they tend to have. If I have the opportunity to babysit your child, I will always prioritize their safety, health, and happiness. Childhood is such a special time, and I believe those experiences stay with children for the rest of their lives. I would do my best to make sure your child feels safe, supported, and has a wonderful time. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Hi dear families! 💕 My name is lucila I’m 21 years old , and I’m currently looking for part-time nanny position in the Bay Area. Caring for children is truly something I love, I bring patience, warmth, and a genuine connection to every child I care for. I have over 6 years of experience, especially with infants, and I’m very attentive to routines, development, and creating a safe, loving environment. I’m responsible, calm, loving, and truly dedicated to making both children and parents feel comfortable and supported 🤍 If you or someone you know is looking for a trustworthy and caring nanny, I would love to connect!
Hello My name is Simone, I’m a 21 year old student who just graduated from Diablo valley College with a certification in early childhood education. My experience includes volunteering in a Montessori preschool and volunteering in an occupational therapy clinic for children with disabilities. The ages I have the most experience with are Preschoolers from ages 3-10. I also have babysitted a couple of clients in the past. I believe I am fit to be a babysitter because I like doing arts and crafts with the children and reading books to them. Some tasks that I am able to perform is helping with making meals, light household work, helping getting ready for bedtime, and homework help (if it’s not math). I also have a calm but clear demeanor when comes to working with challenging behavior. I can’t wait to meet you and your child!
Hi, my name is Deverly. I’m currently looking for afternoon babysitting and weekend care, and I’m happy to help families who need flexible support. I’ve been caring for children for about 2-3 years now, not including the experience and time I’ve taken care of my younger siblings, and nieces. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, with strong multitasking and communication skills. I create a safe, supportive environment and enjoy helping children feel comfortable and cared for. My reliability and love for kids make me a strong caregiver. I was also a dedicated caregiver for a woman living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for nearly five years, offering patient, reliable care and emotional support.
