Booked by 58 families in Fremont, CA

Hello! My name is Kelly, and I have experience with kids and pets! :) Please message me for additional availability as I work full time (11 AM - 8 PM) with semi flexible hours and am a fur mom. I can try to accommodate if noticed in advance. ***Note: I am only looking for occasional jobs*** PET CARE: I currently have 2 puppies and a cat at home (11 month old maltipoo, 11 month old domestic shorthair, and 6 month old mini aussie). All three are extremely sociable and friendly towards other animals. We currently live in an apartment, but do our best to make up for the lack of a backyard by taking them to the dog park, on drives, play dates, and giving them enrichment toys! CHILDCARE: I have mostly worked with ages 4-12 prior to COVID-19. However, I have worked with younger ages and am comfortable with them. In all 4 years of my high school career, I taught children from 2nd grade to 11th grade, so I am also able to help with any homework necessary! With that being said, I have experience in breaking the ice with children slowly to gain their trust, as well as yours as a parent. As a person, I am extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings, so I will always assure that your child(ren)’s safety comes first. I look forward to meeting you and your family and to also help you in anyway that I can!

Hi parents! My name is Ligia. If you’re looking for a reliable, responsible, respectful, and energetic babysitter, I’d be happy to help. I have over five years of experience caring for children of different ages. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your child. I focus on clear communication, following family guidelines, and making sure both parents and kids feel comfortable. I’m more than happy to do an interview before the job or answer any questions you may have. I enjoy doing different activities with kids such as playing, reading, crafts, and staying active.

“Ligia was wonderful with our little one! She is energetic, engaging, and caring. My little one really enjoyed playing with her and didn't want her to leave at the end :) Ligia is also professional and communicative. Will definitely work with Ligia again!”

Hello Families, My name is Dora. I graduated from the University of Washington and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Teaching and a California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I come from a family of educators, and working with children has always been an important part of my life. I have extensive experience working with children from infancy through elementary school, including experience as a preschool teacher, substitute teacher, private tutor, and childcare provider. My background in education and childcare has given me a strong understanding of child development, positive guidance, classroom routines, and age-appropriate learning and play. I’m CPR certified and a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator, with additional training in autism and neurodiversity. Working with children is something I truly enjoy, especially getting to know each child’s personality and interests. Reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, board games, and trips to the park are some of my favorite things to do with kids. Activities can always be adjusted based on the child’s interests and the family’s routine. However, my availability is currently limited, and I’m mainly accepting occasional bookings that are a good mutual fit. BOOKING POLICY: For schedule changes within 48 hours that reduce the booked hours, the original hours are expected to be honored. Thank you for understanding! :) Warmly, Dora

Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m currently working as a veterinary assistant for a veterinary cardiologist. I’ve been caring for kids since I was about 12 years old—starting with my younger sister, then helping out family and friends. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Outside of my passion for caring for animals. Most recently, I worked as a nanny and house manager for a wonderful family over the course of three years. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids, and I take pride in being reliable and proactive in helping households run smoothly. Looking forward to connecting with you! Cancellation Policy: Full payment is required for cancellations made within 5 hours of the scheduled time. Thanks for understanding!

“Great sitter, would definitely use again!”
