Hello families! My name is Xochi. I have over 6 years of experience working with children ranging from infants to teenagers, with a strong foundation in child development and hands-on care. I currently work full-time as a Behavioral Specialist with Alameda Unified School District and am available for date nights and occasional care. I am also seeking the right long-term fit with a family where I can provide consistent, reliable support. I have extensive experience with infants, most recently caring for a baby starting at 6 months old. In this role, I supported feeding routines, introduced solids, maintained consistent nap schedules, and planned age-appropriate activities to support early development. I truly enjoy the infant stage and take pride in creating a calm, nurturing, and engaging environment where babies can thrive. I also spent over two years as a long-term nanny for one family, where I managed daily routines including school drop-offs and pick-ups, after-school activities, meal preparation, and light household support. This experience strengthened my ability to build strong relationships with both children and families while providing reliable, consistent care. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed extensive Early Childhood Education coursework and am currently working toward my ECE certificate. My studies have focused on child development, infant and toddler care, health and safety, and play-based learning, which I actively incorporate into my approach with children. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology (Physical Education Teacher Education) from Chico State, am bilingual in English and Spanish, and certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid. I love engaging children through outdoor play, arts and crafts, and hands-on activities that support creativity and development. My goal is always to provide a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child I work with. I am pet-friendly, comfortable with dogs, and happy to help with light pet care as needed. I am based in Alameda and fully vaccinated.

Hi! My name is Haley and I graduated from Stanford in 2024 with a B.S. in Product Design and was a D1 athlete on the field hockey team. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember (10+ years) - I love kids and really enjoy helping them learn & grow! I have experience with children of all ages, love sports, and have tons of energy!! <3

I’m a 26-year-old nanny with over two years of experience as an au pair and several years working with families throughout the Bay Area. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids and I’m currently getting certified as a postpartum doula. I studied law in Brazil and occasionally help my mom with her law firm, which has strengthened my organization, responsibility and communication skills. I’m fluent in Portuguese and English, speak basic Spanish and I used to play soccer in Brazil, which helps me bring fun, energy and active play into my caregiving. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where children can thrive.

Hi! My name is Catia — I’m 25 years old and based in Palo Alto. I have several years of experience working with children from toddlers through elementary school, both in private homes and educational settings. I currently work as a Program Manager with Right At School at Ohlone Elementary, where I lead after-school programs that support kids’ social, emotional, and academic growth. Alongside that, I’ve provided nanny and babysitting care for multiple families over the years, caring for children as young as 4months up to 5 years old. I love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments for kids to learn and explore through play. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and experienced with supporting children with different learning and behavioral needs. Families describe me as responsible, kind, and dependable, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both kids and parents. I’d love to bring that same energy and care to your family! -Catia :)

I truly enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable. Over the years I have gained experience working with kids of different ages. I worked for two years as a children’s activity animator in a tourist village with children ages 5–12. I also spent two years as an au pair in California, one year as an au pair in Belgium, and one year as a nanny in Austria. Currently I study psychology and child development, which helps me better understand children’s emotions and development. In the past few months I have also been babysitting part-time for several families. Through my experience as an au pair, I am comfortable cooking, helping with light housekeeping, organizing the home, and supporting families with daily routines. I can speak four languages fluently, and I also have some knowledge of Spanish. I can drive, i am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I value positive and supportive environment. Thank you!
