Booked by 3 families in San Mateo, CA

Hi my name is Noreen , I am a mother of 3 adult children and grandmother to two beautiful boys ( age 5 and 2 years old ) . I am Irish and legal to work in the US . Have lots of experience of caring for children throughout the years . Willing to do occasional babysitting . I drive my own car, car seat installed with a clean license so can do drop off and pick up when needed . I’m pretty familiar with parks , aquarium , zoo and all those fun places for kids . I am fully Covid/ flu vaccinated . Look forward to hearing from you ,

Noreen helped us with my 2 year old. She was so great taking her to the park and sending me pictures. She was so so sweet with my daughter. She was also able to bring her grandson along one day and they made great friends. Noreen is a Godsend. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.
