Hi – My name is Julissa and I am a caring, responsible caregiver with experience working with infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. I currently work in childcare and previously worked as a Behavior Technician supporting children with developmental and behavioral needs. I am studying Early Childhood Education and am currently working toward my Bachelor’s degree. I enjoy babysitting and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I can help with daily routines, learning activities, meals, homework, and light housekeeping, and I am also comfortable with pets.

Hi! I’m Melissa, a reliable and caring sitter based in Pacifica. I’ve spent several years nannying and babysitting throughout college and beyond, working with children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve cared for infants as young as three weeks old (including overnight support), as well as toddlers and older kids. I really enjoy creating a calm, structured, and engaging environment whether that’s helping with routines, playtime, or simply being a steady and positive presence. I also bring a strong background in supporting families through my professional experience, which has helped me develop patience, organization, and clear communication. I understand how important it is for parents to feel at ease and informed. I’m happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, or homework support. Looking forward to connecting!
“Melissa is a really sweet and responsible babysitter. She helped us with our twins (21 mos) and 4.5 year old last summer on the weekends. She is playful and kind and extremely helpful around the house. ”
Hi! I’m Nehir, a Biology student at San Francisco State University with several years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with Diabetes Youth Families at summer camps for children with Type 1 diabetes (ages 7–18), supporting kids and helping create a safe and fun environment. I’ve also worked at the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula with middle school students and currently teach after-school tennis, pickleball, and volleyball at an elementary school as well as at preschool. I have experience caring for infants as well, who are 6 months old to 10-month-old. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and I have a driver’s license. I enjoy hiking and traveling in my free time.
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.
