Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient babysitter with experience caring for children ages 1–12 through babysitting family members. I enjoy doing arts & crafts, painting, reading, going on walks, and finding fun, age-appropriate activities to keep kids engaged. I’m looking for part-time opportunities and am flexible with hours when communicated in advance. I’m also a Certified Medical Assistant, giving me additional training in health, safety, and caring for others. I’d love to help your family and make sure your little ones feel safe, happy, and cared for!

Hello! My name is Felicity, and I am an 18-year-old college student majoring in Jazz Studies at SJSU. I offer child care, pet care, and household assistance services. I love working with children and have been babysitting kids ages 1–6 for the past six years . I have gained valuable experience caring for my many nieces, nephews, and family friends’ children of various ages. My responsibilities have included supervising playtime, preparing meals and snacks, helping with routines, keeping children entertained, and ensuring a safe and positive environment. As a musician, I enjoy sharing music with others and can even bring my electronic vibraphone to introduce children to music through fun activities, simple lessons, and creative play! I am also a vocalist and can sing lullabies, kids’ songs, and other simple songs for children! In addition to childcare, I am comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. I can also assist with light housekeeping, organizing, meal preparation, and other household tasks as needed. My community describes me as responsible, patient, trustworthy, communicative, reliable, and positive. My goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for children and pets.
I'm a full-time professional and mom to a wonderful 22-year-old daughter, with years of hands-on experience supporting others—whether through parenting, helping aging relatives, or caring for pets. I'm now looking to give back to my community by offering caregiving and household help in my free time. I’m known for being reliable, warm, and thoughtful. I bring both energy and empathy to everything I do, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people of all ages. Whether it’s assisting with errands, offering companionship to seniors, or helping maintain a calm and organized home, I take pride in being dependable and attentive. I also bring a set of professional skills that translate well into caregiving: I’m highly organized, detail-oriented, and analytical. I listen closely, anticipate needs, and follow through with care. When I’m not working, I enjoy hiking, exploring the city, and finding new ways to support and connect with my community.
Hi! I’m an energetic, easygoing, and very patient caregiver with lots of experience caring for kids of all ages — especially preschoolers. I started helping with younger children in after-school programs since I was 11. I’m great at keeping things fun, hands-on, and engaging while still being reliable and communicative with parents. Professionally, I worked as a summer camp counselor for two years with age ranges as young as 3 and as old as 11. During busy weeks, I successfully managed groups of up to 18 children and consistently received excellent reviews from parents for my attentiveness, creativity, and ability to build positive connections. Additionally, I volunteered at a children's hospital in their activities centers for 2 years as well. I’m highly communicative, flexible, and naturally a night owl, so late evening hours are a great fit for me (11pm is fine for me). I also have a day job and am comfortable with no guaranteed hours, so 1-2 times a month is perfect for me as long as dates are pre-communicated. I bring a lot of energy and patience to each job, which makes it easy for me to keep up with even the wiliest little ones. My goal is always to create a fun, nurturing environment where children feel safe and cared for while also supporting your family’s needs. I also grew up with dogs, so I am very comfortable with and am happy to assist with any pet needs as well.
