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!
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 am always happy to help! <3
Hi! I’m Xeriz, a 23-year-old with a passion for caring for children. I’ve worked as a nanny in different cities over the years, and now, as an ABA behavior technician, I love supporting kids, especially those with special needs. I’m friendly, patient, and adaptable, always making sure to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for children. I also enjoy meal prepping and can easily tailor meals to your family’s needs, whether it’s keto, vegan, low-carb, or protein-focused. I’ve lived with families as their nanny before, so I’m used to adjusting to different routines and can do the same for you. Music is another big part of my life and something I’m truly passionate about :) I sing and play multiple instruments, and I’m always happy to share that with the kids through fun musical activities or even teaching them to play if they’re interested. Now that I’m back in NorCal, I’m excited to focus on what I love most which is helping children grow and making a positive impact on your family’s life!
Hi, my name is Jahaira. I am currently a preschool teacher in Palo Alto. I have been teaching there for over 9 years. I love working with children. I also enjoy helping around the house and be an extra set of hands in your household. I have worked with multiple families in the past, long and short term as a household assistant. I am looking for some weekends or weekday nights hours to help with taking care of your babies or helping around the house. I am very flexible and reliable.

Hello! I’m Amina, and I have several years of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. As a caregiver, I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and kind. Your child’s emotional and physical wellbeing are important to me! You can expect me to be fully engaged with your children. A few activities I might do with them (depending on their age and interests) are reading stories, doing crafts projects, playing board games, making friendship bracelets, or playing with outdoor chalk. My priority is to keep your children happy, healthy, and safe. If you choose to book with me, you can count on me to be dependable and attentive. Thanks for reading and please reach out if you have any questions!
“Amina was a fantastic sitter for my 2 boys. She was friendly, caring, compassionate and playful. Highly recommend!”

"Caitlin was awesome and jumped right in to chaperone four girls (10, 9, 8 and 6) at a family wedding (they were bridesmaids) and she was very helpful with the event as well as taking them home and putting them to bed."

"McKenna was great with our 3 year old son! She came prepared with a box of fun activities and handled playing, dinner, and bedtime seamlessly... and it was all at our hotel while we were in town for a wedding. Thank you McKenna!"
