Booked by 7 families in Los Altos, CA

Hi! My name is Liana and I’m looking for one-time and occasional babysitting jobs. I’m a Physician Assistant student at Stanford University and am looking to make some extra money while I’m in school. I have always loved working with kids. I graduated with a B.S in Neuroscience from Santa Clara University and I hope to work in pediatrics as a PA. I have past experience as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), pediatric medical assistant, daycare volunteer, and math/reading tutor. I have my own car and am comfortable driving to/from activities. I enjoy reading, baking, spending time outside, watching tv/movies, and doing crafts!

Booked by 6 families in Los Altos, CA

I enjoy interacting and nurturing children’s growth and development because they are filled with curiosity, joy, wonder, love, and appreciation for learning from their trusted caregivers about the world. I am filled with gratitude for the 60+ children I built relationships with at Ellis Early Learning and I learned that I do love caring for children and supporting their growth. I am amazed at children’s brilliance and how I can support their physical and emotional development with each day. When caring for and teaching children, I am reminded of these powerful quotes on education and teaching that I carried with me in my interactions with the children: (1) Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela. (2) The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves. - Paulo Freire On a formal note, I most recently received my teacher certification from the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care for preschool and infants/toddlers along with other certifications: First Aid/CPR, Trauma and Resilience for Early Childhood Educators, and Early Childhood and Care Essentials. I worked in an Early Childhood Education apprenticeship in Boston, where I was placed at Ellis Early Learning for 8 months and I aced Child Growth and Development at Urban College of Boston. Overall, I am excited to meet with you and learn how I can support the needs of your growing family in a babysitting capacity.

Booked by 9 families in Los Altos, CA

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 infants and toddlers through elementary school, both in private homes and educational settings. I currently work as an Infant & Toddler Teacher Assistant at a children’s center, where I help provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for young children. Alongside my childcare experience, I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families, caring for children as young as 4 months through elementary school. I love creating fun, engaging, and safe environments where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I’m also CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish, and experienced in 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 the opportunity to bring that same care and energy to your family! -Catia :)
