Find a last-minute babysitter in Capitola, CA

Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.

Hi! My name is Michelle. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from newborns to 12 years old. My background includes 10 years in daycare and preschool settings, along with 5 years as a professional nanny. Most of my nanny experience has been with infants under 12 months old, but I truly enjoy working with toddlers and older children as well — engaging them in fun, developmentally appropriate, and enriching activities tailored to their age and personality. I am currently working full-time with a family and am looking to pick up additional hours on weekends or for date nights. I’m happy to provide reliable, consistent care for families who need occasional support. I also offer pet-sitting services if needed. My childcare style is gentle yet firm — calm, patient, and attentive, while still being playful and engaging. I value creating a nurturing, structured environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore and grow at their own pace. Certifications & Background: • Bilingual in Korean and English • Background in Early Childhood Education • Completed coursework in Child Development • CPR certified • TrustLine registered I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warm regards, Michelle

Hello! My name is Mariana and I am 28 years old. I live I San Jose and have been working as a nanny in the Bay Area for the past 3 years. I first came to California as a live in nanny through the au pair program from Colombia. I have since attended San Jose city college to study the English language, in which I am fluent, along with my native language Spanish. Before that I went to school to become a preschool teacher. I am CPR certified, attentive and very responsible. I take my job very seriously and am always on time. I like to keep the children happy and active, through games, reading, going for walks, playing, etc. I am willing to do light cooking and cleaning when needed. I love working with children and have experience working with all ages. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a responsible and passionate childcare provider with over 8 years of experience, committed to creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and engaged. Currently pursuing a psychology degree focusing on early childhood education, I prioritize both emotional and academic support for children's growth. Compassionate, empathetic, and a great listener, I build meaningful connections with children and families, ensuring trust and dependability. My multitasking skills and adaptability allow me to handle various tasks, from homework assistance to meal preparation. As a preschool teacher for the past two years, I've gained hands-on experience guiding children through educational activities and daily routines. I've also worked with California State for Choices for Children, adhering to state regulations, and my Trustline background check guarantees safety. If you're looking for a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider, I'd love the opportunity!

I have been working with children for 15 years and I still love it. I worked at a daycare center as an infant toddler teacher for five years. I taught swim lessons to all ages. I am currently a nanny for over 5 years. I love to be outside taking walks, or at a park. I like to do art activities, make up scavenger hunts, read books, play board/card games, legos, and just follow what the child is into. Usually just make up games. A babysitter should be a fun time for the child. I am happy to do easy meals for the kids and some cleaning.
