Jocelin $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! 💕 My name is Jocelin, and I’m a 25-year-old stay-at-home mom to two sweet girls, ages 1 and 3. They are both very playful, creative, and love having other children around to play and learn with! 🧸🎨 I’m currently offering babysitting for children 6 months and up at $26/hour. I have 8+years of childcare experience and have cared for children from many different families and in a variety of settings. Before becoming a mom, I worked as a substitute teacher and in infant nurseries and preschools, where I gained hands-on experience caring for and working with children of different ages. I also have the college credits and educational background required for a Teacher’s Aide, giving me additional knowledge and experience in child care and development. I’m available for regular babysitting, occasional care, date nights, evenings, and when you simply need an extra helping hand. I’m a caring, patient, dependable, and responsible person, and as a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable trusting with your little ones. ❤️ I have no pets, I’m a non-smoker, and I’m located near Curtner & Canoas Garden.

Atidtiya $28 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hi! My name is Atidtiya, and I have over three years of hands-on childcare experience in the United States, along with additional nursery experience from back home. I was an au pair for two wonderful families — one year in Connecticut caring for three children, and one year in San Francisco caring for two children. Before becoming an au pair, I worked as an assistant in a child nursery for 1.5 years, supporting early childhood development and daily routines. I am gentle, patient, and reliable, and I always try to make children feel safe, understood, and engaged. I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages, from babies and toddlers to school-aged kids, and I’m experienced with everything from creative play to bedtime routines and meal prep. Now that I’ve completed my au pair program, I’m open to babysitting opportunities and look forward to meeting new families in the area.

Nhi $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! my name is Nhi. Currently I have been volunteering as a bible teacher and occasionally help the community with organized events. I’m looking for a part time job at the times I’m available. I want to make good use of my time to help people who need that help and care. I have been working for Care at Home Inc. in the past to help kids with special needs and often also offer to babysit their siblings. Families trust me and find me to be a responsible, reliable, and a friendly person. I followed what parents would prefer me to do and that included walking, aiding, teaching simple lessons, role playing, etc. Before that experience, I also took a class in high school to work with the teachers and took care of kids at the daycare there. But one of the easiest experience I had with kids was when I took care of my youngest sister in order for my parents to work long hours. I felt like I have learn my fair share of what to do and what not to do when taking care of a kid. Even though it can get tough sometimes, it is also very rewarding to see them happy, safe and heard. I love seeing kids being taken care of physically and emotionally so they can grow properly. That means to have proper time to nap, eat, rest, study and play. Because the early years are so important for children to grow and start forming memories I would personally want someone who could see the importance of such when I have a kid in the future. It helps to recall what I have learned from the university in regard to child development. I hope I can help and please feel free to give me tips and feedback as well.

Ida $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m a 54year-old mom with a 23-year-old son in college and a super sweet 10-year-old mini poodle. I love hiking, family time, and being around kids and pets. I work from home full-time for Stanford Health Care, so I’m available after 3:30pm on weekdays, plus evenings, late stays, and weekends. I can help with babysitting, school pick-ups, dog sitting, dog walking, driving, cooking, and light cleaning—whatever makes your life easier. I’ve been caring for kids my whole life (nieces, nephews, friends’ little ones), and I truly enjoy it. I’m also looking to make some extra money to help support my son’s college costs. For peace of mind: • Global Entry (clear background) • Clean driving record • Total dog lover! If you’d like to chat and see if we’re a good match, feel free to reach out. Thanks for considering me!
