$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Grace and I'm currently in school for my Masters in Social Work. I am offering child care and senior care. I love pets, too! Child care experience: I have 5+ years working with kids between the ages of 0-18 in educational and therapeutic contexts. I love playing sports, doing arts activities, exploring, & letting kids be themselves. I have experience cooking healthy, delicious meals, helping with homework, implementing bedtime routines, changing diapers, and helping out with chores. Senior care experience: I am someone who grew up spending time with my grandparents and great-grandmother, playing cards together, cooking steaks, riding horses, driving, and talking. I also spent a lot of time by my grandfather's bedside while he was passing away, helping him to be comfortable and to know that he was loved. In addition to offering my presence and connection, I am able to drive, cook, clean, do laundry, organize, and run errands, too. I hope to hear from you!

“We were so fortunate to have Grace care for our three children on an as-needed basis. She is kind, patient and thoughtful, and our kids always felt safe and happy in her care. Beyond childcare, she has a natural gift for working with seniors, offering both companionship and support with special needs in a way that shows genuine compassion. She is honest, trustworthy, and dependable. These qualities gave us peace of mind whenever she was with our family. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to help with their loved ones.”

Hi! My name is Patricia. I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with 8 years of full-time childcare experience. I have cared for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I truly enjoy supporting their growth and development in a safe and nurturing environment. I have extensive experience with infants, including bottle feeding, nap routines, diaper changes, and maintaining a consistent schedule. I am also comfortable managing multiple children, helping with homework, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. I am reliable, patient, and attentive, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I have worked long-term with families, which has allowed me to provide stability and continuity of care. I am based in Burlingame and have access to a car, making me flexible and dependable for commuting. I am currently looking for occasional opportunities, especially on weekends.

“Patricia was easy to coordinate with, arrived on time and was great with our son. Would definitely recommend.”
