Lori $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Lori, and I’m an experienced, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. After 15 wonderful years in my professional career, I recently stepped away to embrace a more balanced lifestyle. I’m now looking for a few babysitting opportunities each week where I can do something I truly enjoy—caring for and connecting with children. I’m a mom of two grown children (one attending PT school and one attending PA school) and raised them as a single parent, so I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and feel completely comfortable leaving their children with. I was also the primary caregiver for my father before he passed away, which further strengthened my patience, compassion, and sense of responsibility. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I currently babysit a 2½-year-old on a consistent basis and have been part of his life since he was a baby. I’ve also volunteered at Stanford Children’s Hospital in the Newborn Hearing Screening Unit, an experience that gave me additional exposure to newborns and families. I’m nurturing, patient, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and preferences and understand the importance of keeping parents informed and comfortable while they’re away. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and learn more about your childcare needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to tell you more about myself and my experience!

Booked by 2 families in San Carlos, CA

Hi! My name is Andee, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience working primarily with children ages 4-12, along with 7 years of experience as an educator. After working as a special education and elementary school teacher, I am now earning my credential in mathematics to become a middle school teacher. I love incorporating learning into everyday moments and am always happy to support with homework or provide math tutoring during our time together at no extra cost. I’ve led summer enrichment programs including science and cooking camps, so I enjoy creating engaging, structured activities. I also greatly value the importance of unstructured play and giving kids the space to relax, explore, and be themselves. I strive to find a thoughtful balance between fun, creativity, and gentle structure. I have experience working with neurodivergent children and take on a collaborative, individualized approach, partnering closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs so they can feel supported, comfortable, and confident. One of my personal passions is financial literacy, and I love finding age-appropriate ways to introduce simple money mindset concepts through fun, optional activities (only if this is something your family is interested in!). I’m a big animal lover and grew up with pets: currently I have two cats, Dougie and Mac (named after rappers), and a sweet dog named Mila, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals. I also have a reliable car and a clean driving record. Above all, I aim to create a warm, positive, and dependable environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together. Due to my full-time work + school schedule, my availability isn't as open as I would like. However, I do occasionally have weekend or night openings when schedules align, so feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family! 😊

“Andee was an absolute joy! She came prepared with arts and crafts, was a great communicator, and immediately connected with both of our kids. They absolutely raved about her afterward. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily have her back!”

Paula 2 reviews
$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Carlos, CA

Hello! My name is Paula (children call me Lala/Yaga) and I’m a fun and caring 30-year-old with over 10 years of experience working with children. Throughout the years, I’ve worked as an au pair, live-in nanny, full-time nanny, co-teacher at a Reggio Emilia inspired school in Brazil, and most recently as a teacher at a nonprofit organization supporting families at risk and children with diverse medical needs. I also spent four years as a family consultant/caregiver for an amazing family in San Francisco, supporting them through infancy and toddlerhood while helping create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I’m currently a master’s student at SF State for Early Childhood Education with concentration in Special Needs. Caring for children has always been my passion. I love seeing their excitement as they learn something new and the way they view the world with such imagination. I’m proactive, responsible, and have wonderful references from my past positions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love the chance to share my experience and work with your family! Warmly, Paula

“I can't recommend Paula enough! Her background in Early Childhood Education truly makes her exceptional. She isn't just a caregiver—she's an active teacher who cares both about the child and the family as a whole. She brings so much intentionality to our days. She plans fun, age-appropriate activities that make learning feel natural. Her knowledge of child development is clear in how well our child has developed into a thoughtful and curious young man. She's calm, professional, and I completely trust her. I also consider her language skills with Spanish and Portuguese to be an huge plus. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as a partner!”
