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!
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! My name is Julieta. I have been living with a family as an au pair for almost three years. I have extensive childcare experience, from newborns and babies to children up to 10 years old. I’m responsible, reliable, and comfortable driving. I have my own car and no allergies. I also offer house sitting and pet sitting, which I’ve been doing for the past year, with stays ranging from one week up to a month. Additionally, I’m happy to help with errands and other household tasks. I’d love to help and make your life a little easier! 😊
Hello! I am an undergraduate student at Santa Clara University majoring in Civil Engineering. I have over six years of babysitting experience and have worked for two years at elementary schools as a paraeducator. I have experience working with children of all ages and enjoy planning activities, playing, and staying actively engaged with kids. I am very hands-on, patient, and always willing to play and interact as much as possible. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, comfortable and experienced with pets, and I am happy to help tidy up when needed. I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children.
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!

"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."
Lila P., parent

"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!"
