Elvira Antonia $50 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Portola Valley, CA

Warm, playful, and dependable caregiver with 18+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, including infants. After recently working on a developmental milestone project, I felt called back to what I truly love most — helping children grow, learn, feel deeply cared for, and making everyday life feel lighter and more supported for parents too. I love bringing warmth, laughter, creativity, music, outdoor adventures, and calm positive energy into a home. I’m naturally very hands-on and happy to help wherever needed — whether that’s nurturing little ones through developmental milestones, engaging in playful learning, preparing simple healthy meals, tidying up child-related spaces, helping with routines, or creating a smoother flow for the whole family. Families often describe me as loving, reliable, helpful, positive and fun with their children. I am CPR/AED/First Aid certified, have my own reliable car, and speak English, Spanish, and French (plus some Portuguese and Hindi). Currently looking for one more kind, respectful, communicative part-time family who values warmth, teamwork, and thoughtful childcare. P.S: While I was advised to charge $50hr. I am ok with negotiating lower for the right family who really needs it

Hi! My name is Teo, and I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver. I have experience working with children and always focus on creating a safe and positive environment.

Katy $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Katy. I work full-time in HR and Operations during the week, so I’m mainly available for occasional evening and weekend babysitting. I graduated from UC Davis with bachelor’s degrees in Political Science and English and have been babysitting on weekends for over 10 years. During that time, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children of different ages. I also grew up with two younger siblings and worked in an after-school program at the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula, where I gained even more experience creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for kids. I’ve always enjoyed being around children and getting to know their different personalities. I believe every child is different, so I try to get to know who they are and meet them where they’re at. Whether that means playing games, reading stories, doing crafts, or helping them get ready for bed, my goal is to help them feel safe, heard, comfortable, and have a good time while you’re away. I’d describe myself as patient, reliable, and easygoing. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your kids, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I also like keeping parents updated while they’re out so they can enjoy their time knowing their kids are safe and doing well. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter for a date night, weekend plans, or just an occasional event, I’d be happy to help! I look forward to meeting you and your family.

Sophia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sophia, a behavioral aide at a therapeutic day school who is passionate about supporting children’s growth, learning, and well-being. I’ve been babysitting and tutoring since I was 14 years old and have experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a family assistant, helping with household tasks such as cooking, cleaning, running errands, and caring for pets. I enjoy being a dependable extra set of hands and helping families keep their busy lives running smoothly. In my current full-time role, I work with elementary and middle school students who have a variety of learning disabilities and mental health challenges. This experience has made me especially comfortable working with neurodivergent children and supporting kids in educational settings. My strengths include creating consistent routines, planning fun and engaging activities, helping with homework and academics, and building positive, supportive relationships with children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for your children!
