Virginia $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Virginia, I’m a mom to a 23-year-old son, and I am a certified personal trainer. I own my own fitness business, and part of it focuses largely on older adults (ages 70–85) as I work with the Parkinson’s community. I am deeply patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for seniors, as well as children. I also hold an up-to-date adult CPR certification for your peace of mind. I bring a fun, active, and creative approach to childcare. My background includes two years working as a nanny in Paris where I cared for elementary-aged kids, a year as a public elementary school teacher’s assistant, and summers spent coaching youth soccer, and working as an international camp counselor and tennis instructor in France and England. Whether we are heading to the park, playing sports, reading, putting on silly living-room plays, or baking a treat, I love keeping kids engaged and active. I also speak intermediate-advanced French and am certified to teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), so I’m always happy to help with homework, reading, or language practice!

Shirin 2 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shirin. I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I spent nearly a year as a full-time nanny for two boys (ages 7 and 12), managing their daily routines, preparing meals, and planning fun educational activities that kept them engaged and growing. Before that, I spent over three years as an English teacher for young children (ages 4–7) at a kindergarten, where I created lesson plans, built nurturing classroom environments, and helped little ones develop a love of learning. I also volunteered abroad teaching Math and English to children aged 5–7 through an international program. Beyond childcare, I bring strong organizational skills, a calm and positive attitude, and genuine care for the families I work with. I’m fluent in English and Russian, which can be a bonus in multilingual households. I’m responsible, punctual, and truly enjoy being a supportive presence in children’s lives. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help! 😊

“Shirin has been our afternoon helper for the past three months, and I’ve been very happy. She handles school pickups, drives the kids to their activities, keeps their spaces organized, and gets dinner ready. She also runs errands and pitches in on other projects around the house. Shirin is very reliable and communicates clearly. My kids enjoy being around her. Most of all, I trust her completely. I recommend Shirin to any family looking for a dependable, experienced sitter.”

Hi, I'm Srishti! I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology living in San Jose. I have a diverse background in childcare—including experience as a neurodivergent camp counselor and as a volunteer at a local elementary school. My academic background gives me a deep understanding of child development, which helps me create supportive, engaging environments. I love keeping kids active with art projects, park outings, and playing games. I am also fully available for dog, cat, and house sitting. I have multiple local references available and would love to set up a brief introductory meeting to ensure a perfect fit for your family!
