Booked by 5 families in Redwood Estates, CA

I am 21 years old and I’ve been taking care of children ever since I was 15, helping them with homework, cleaning up after them, meal prep, school pick up/drop off, to/from activities, bedtime routine and so on. I also used to be an english teacher for kids between 4-11. I have experiences with babies older than 1, that includes feeding them, nap time, story time, changing diapers etc. I am currently taking care of 3 kids under 5 M-F and I’m looking for job opportunities on weekends.

Nicole was great. Friendly, kind and punctual, our 7 year old said he liked her a lot!

Hello: I’m Cynthia - I bring a compassionate heart, a positive attitude, and a genuine love for helping others to every caregiving role. With experience caring for children and cats, as well as providing a range of household services, I create a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for those in my care. My background also includes teaching Spanish, which allows me to add a fun and educational dimension—helping children (and adults!) learn a new language and explore a rich cultural heritage. I am trilingual in English, Spanish and Tagalog. I am dependable, patient, and adaptable, with strong communication skills and a deep respect for different backgrounds and traditions. Whether I’m supporting daily routines, engaging in creative play, preparing healthy meals, or offering companionship, I approach every task with dedication and warmth. From guiding kids through homework, to ensuring pets feel loved and cared for, I pride myself on building trust and fostering comfort. My blend of cultural knowledge, language skills, and hands-on caregiving experience makes me not just a caregiver, but a true companion and resource for your home!

Maria Los Gatos
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria Paula, and I’m a caring, dependable person who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while learning and growing, and I enjoy to be around kids. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy engaging children in activities like reading, crafts, outdoor play, and helping with routines that keep their day positive and structured. Building trusting relationships with both children and parents is very important to me, and I always strive to support each family’s unique needs and values. I’ve been working with the same family for the past four years, where I currently care for their 4-year-old and 8-year-old. During that time, I’ve gained a lot of experience managing daily routines, planning fun activities, playing with my kids and making sure the children feel happy and supported throughout the day. I’m currently looking for a full-time position with a family where I can provide consistent, loving care and become a positive part of your child’s daily life. I look forward to connecting and learning more about your family!

Hello! I am Computer Scientist from Sweden, who have raised two boys (now in college) together with my husband. We live in San Joe. I am available to help out families as I know very well how hard it can be to arrange for child care with our busy schedules! I love working with children of all ages. One of my goals is to get my teaching credentials in California so that I can contribute to our public schools in the area.
