Booked by 3 families in San Mateo, CA

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. Being a daycare provider help me financially through college. I’m a mom of two children 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!

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ana Luiza, and I am 19 years old. I am currently at college majoring in Medical Assisting. I have been working with children for a couple of years and currently work at the Boys & Girls Club, where I help supervise children, assist with homework, organize educational and recreational activities, and create a safe, positive environment for kids of different ages. In addition to my current position, I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have extensive experience caring for children, especially newborns, infants, toddlers, and children up to 4 years old. I am comfortable with feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, playtime, and bedtime routines. I am patient, responsible, caring, and energetic. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe. My experience working with families and in childcare settings has taught me the importance of communication, reliability, and creating a fun and nurturing environment for every child. I am fluent in Portuguese and English and also I speak a little bit of Spanish, which allows me to communicate with diverse families and even introduce children to a bilingual environment if desired. I take pride in being dependable, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I look forward to supporting families and providing loving, high-quality care for their children.

“Ana Luiza has looked after my son Anthony since he was just two months old; he loves her. She is very affectionate and caring. She takes excellent care of Anthony—whenever the daycare is closed for holidays, she is always there to look after him. She is trustworthy; you can confidently leave your children in her care, knowing she will look after them exceptionally well.”
