Booked by 17 families in Moss Beach, CA

Hello families! My name is Kelly and I'm so excited to meet you. I recently graduated from the Burnett School of Medicine at TCU with a Master's of Medical Science, and I am available for light part-time or occasional jobs. I graduated with a BA in English in 2015, and worked for several years in teaching: high school music and dance programs, summer camp operations, and most recently in administration for a nonprofit preschool. In addition, I spent a year at a local Children's Hospital, planning age-appropriate activities for children of all ability levels. I enjoy primarily working with infants and young children. My favorite activities to do with kids include playing in the park, reading, arts & crafts, and music. I'm proficient in basic Spanish and love to practice with little ones! I am Infant & Child CPR/First Aid certified, and enjoy creating safe and fun spaces for children to play.

“Punctual, professional and fantastic with the kids. Would definitely hire again. ”

Booked by 3 families in Moss Beach, CA

Hello! My name is Angela and I'm 26 years old. I have experience at daycares with ages from 3 months to 6 years. I was also a full time live-in nanny and was with them for a year and still babysit all the time for them! I've been around kids my whole life and am super comfortable with all ages. I have completed a few Early Childhood Education classes. I am looking forward to speaking with any potential families! :)

“Angela has lots of experience caring for children of all ages and my kids love playing with her!”

Booked by 2 families in Moss Beach, CA

Hello! My name is Lori, and I’m an experienced, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. After 15 wonderful years in my professional career, I recently stepped away to embrace a more balanced lifestyle. I’m now looking for a few babysitting opportunities each week where I can do something I truly enjoy—caring for and connecting with children. Being a daycare provider help me financially through college. I’m a mom of two children and raised them as a single parent, so I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I was also the primary caregiver for my father before he passed away, which further strengthened my patience, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I currently babysit a 2½-year-old on a consistent basis and have been part of his life since he was a baby. I’ve also volunteered at Stanford Children’s Hospital in the Newborn Hearing Screening Unit, an experience that gave me additional exposure to newborns and families. I’m nurturing, patient, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences and understand the importance of keeping parents informed and comfortable while they’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!

Booked by 7 families in Moss Beach, CA

Hi families! My name is Rafaella, and I’m a career nanny and family assistant with 9+ years of professional experience caring for children from newborns through the teenage years. I’m currently open to part-time, occasional, and one-time childcare opportunities, depending on the family’s needs. I have extensive experience with childcare, as well as mother’s helper and family-assistant responsibilities. I’m comfortable helping with school routines, activities, homework, meal and snack preparation, children’s laundry, organization, errands, and general household support. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through outings, library trips, playdates, arts and crafts, and age-appropriate activities. I have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references from families I’ve worked with long-term. I’m dependable, organized, hands-on, and value open communication and mutual respect with the families I work with. I’m located in Burlingame and am primarily looking for opportunities on the Peninsula, though I’m open to the right fit in San Francisco as well. I’m hoping to find a family who is looking for more than just a babysitter—someone they can trust, rely on, and welcome as a long-term part of their household.

Deborah 3 reviews
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Deborah, and I’m an experienced nanny with over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience. I began my first nanny position at 18 and was a live-in caregiver for two years. I have since worked with children ranging from infants as young as 6 months to preteens. Over the years, I’ve provided excellent care including diaper changes, bath time, meal preparation, school pick-ups, after-school activities, pet care, and house sitting. With a bachelor’s degree in Public Health, I’m passionate about fostering nurturing, educational, and engaging environments for children. I love creating activities that encourage curiosity, creativity, and movement, helping kids burn energy in healthy, fun ways. I’m active, dependable, and deeply enjoy supporting families by providing not just care, but genuine partnership in their children’s growth and development. And as an animal lover, I’m always happy to care for pets, too (unfortunately not cats as I am allergic).

“Debbie has babysat for my grandchildren. I have known her for many years since she was in her teens as she was my high school student. She is extremely good with children, fun, caring and reliable. I highly recommend her for any childcare position.”
