Brooke $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Brooke, and I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped raise little ones from newborns all the way up to double-digit ages, so I’m very comfortable with every stage. I’m also a college graduate with a degree in psychology and have used that knowledge to become a Registered Behavioral Technician and work professionally with kids with autism, which taught me a lot about patience, creativity, and supporting kids’ unique needs. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, outgoing, fun, and super active. I love keeping kids engaged, playing games, and helping them learn and grow in a safe and happy environment!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Freedom, CA

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, from babies and toddlers to school-age children and teenagers. I also have experience as a teacher, which has helped me become patient, creative, organized, and comfortable adapting to each child’s personality and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, planning fun activities, helping with routines, meals, homework, transportation, and keeping their environment safe and organized. I also absolutely love animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and pet sitting. I’m reliable, flexible, attentive, and always respectful of each family’s routines and preferences. I love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for both children and pets!

“Luiza is great, showed up on time and was very friendly, genuine and nice with my 5M old baby. Will definitely be working with her again!”

Hannah $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m a fun-loving nanny who believes the best days are spent being active and curious. From backyard adventures and local park trips to building LEGO masterpieces and arts and crafts, I love staying hands-on. I’m highly dependable, CPR-certified, and comfortable with pets. My goal is to make sure your kids are happy, healthy, and tired by the time you get home! I have 3+ years of experience with children aged 1-12. I am always open to helping out with behind the scenes tasks like laundry or dishes. I look forward to becoming a trusted extension of your family!

Sophie $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a reliable, creative caregiver with six years of experience babysitting families with up to four children and working as a camp counselor. As a senior at UC Santa Cruz majoring in Art History and minoring in Education, I lean into my artistic background to plan engaging, art-driven activities and games that keep kids inspired and entertained. I am highly organized and skilled at managing daily routines, from school pick-ups to meals and bedtime. Beyond childcare, I have a strong background in household and animal care, including house sitting for families with dogs and cats, and volunteering for years at an animal rescue. Safety is my top priority; I am Red Cross certified in Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and hold a Food Handlers Permit. With my friendly, positive attitude, I focus on creating a fun, safe, and structured environment for your family.

Kylie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kylie, and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently a student at West Valley College with a passion for working with children of all ages and abilities. I have over 12 years of babysitting experience, along with professional childcare experience at The Club at Los Gatos, where I worked with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old. Growing up with four younger sisters (now ages 9, 15, 16, and 21) has also given me a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for kids. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED through the American Red Cross. I’m happy to help with homework, enjoy planning creative art activities, and always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. One of my greatest passions is supporting children with special needs and neurodivergent children. I have several years of experience working with children with diverse needs, and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life was caring for an incredible young girl with autism. She inspired my love for working with children and helped shape the career path I hope to pursue. Looking ahead, my dream is to advocate for children's mental health and help improve mental health education and support within schools. Until then, I’m grateful for every opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I work with. I would love the opportunity to care for your little one(s), provide them with a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment, and help make your day just a little easier. I look forward to meeting your family!
