Hi! My name is Leticia, and I have several years of hands-on childcare experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as a nanny and babysitter since I was in high school and truly enjoy supporting children’s growth and development. In addition to babysitting, I have experience substitute teaching at a Montessori Preschool, where I helped create a positive and engaging learning environment in the absence of the lead teacher. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as 2 Associate’s degrees in Psychology and Social & Behavioral sciences where I’ve taken early childhood education courses including child development and developmental psychology. I also have experience with children with diverse needs, including autism and ADHD. I’m skilled in coordinating schedules, helping with homework, preparing meals, managing bedtime routines, school drop-offs/pick-ups, and overnight care. I’m a very patient, attentive, and nurturing caregiver who enjoys engaging children in a variety of activities including arts and crafts, magna tiles, legos, and outdoor activities (ex: tag and playing at the park). I prioritize safety, clear communication with parents, and routines where children can thrive in. In my free time, I work with feral cats as well as socialize kittens. This is a huge passion of mine as I love animals and have quite a few pets myself. I would love the opportunity to support your family, thank you for considering my application and I look forward to speaking with you!
Hi families! I’m Marilyn! I'm CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for kids from toddlers to teens (ages 2–13). I love keeping things fun with outings to the park, library story times, or helping with ballet, swimming, and after-school activities. I’m currently working with a few local families and am happy to help with light errands, dog walks (I’m a big animal lover!), and keeping things tidy around the house. I’m reliable, warm, and always happy to plan ahead especially for date nights or evening babysitting. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Hi there! I’m a warm, reliable caregiver with over 5 years of professional pediatric experience supporting children and families, along with many years of babysitting throughout college and beyond. My background in childhood development along with the many young children in my family have given me a strong understanding of children 6 months and beyond, along with how to support children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs at every stage. I believe in fostering play and curiosity while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment. Some of the activities I love are playing games, pretend play, music, and playing outside! I take great pride in being a caregiver that families are able to trust and rely on. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and I look forward to chatting!
Hello! I hope you're doing well. I'm a mother of three (ages 15, 16, and 18), with lots of experience caring for multiple children. I'm patient, kind, organized, and proactive. I'm fluent in Spanish and English, CPR and First Aid certified, and I have a valid driver's license, a clean record, and my own car. I love keeping babies and kids engaged with activities like reading, arts and crafts, and trips to the park or library. I also like to help out around the house during downtime with tidying, laundry, and other chores. I'm available Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a. m, as I work with another family in Portola Valley afterward. During that time, I can help with bathing, laundry, bottles, organizing, and drop-offs/pick-ups if needed. References are available upon request! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat by phone or video call. Thank you so much for your time!
“My daughter loved playing with Isabel. She had a wonderful time. Would definitely hire again!”

"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!"
