Hi! I’m Nehir, a Biology student at San Francisco State University with several years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with Diabetes Youth Families at summer camps for children with Type 1 diabetes (ages 7–18), supporting kids and helping create a safe and fun environment. I’ve also worked at the Boys & Girls Club of the Peninsula with middle school students and currently teach after-school tennis, pickleball, and volleyball at an elementary school as well as at preschool. I have experience caring for infants as well, who are 6 months old to 10-month-old. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and I have a driver’s license. I enjoy hiking and traveling in my free time.
I love cats and have two of them myself! I’ve grown up with cats and have a lot of experience looking after them. Would love to help take care of your fur baby!
Hello my name is Natalie and I offer child care services.😊 Child Care: I currently work with families with older children (5–16 years old), helping pick the kids up from school and taking them to after-school activities, including sports, art classes, doctor's appointments, and parties. I also do some meal prep, help with errands (e.g., returns and shopping), and babysit the kids when their parents are out. I've also worked with children with special needs, having helped raise my godson, who is autistic, and have taken Special Education training courses in college. I can assist with homework in subjects including math, English, science, history, and art. I have an excellent driving record, with no tickets or accidents in over 30 years. I'm happy to work with families on a one-time or part-time weekly schedule and can also provide references.
“Natalie has been working with our family and 3 boys (5-8-10) in San Mateo four days a week. She helps with all the boys after school activities, driving, and short term babysitting. She's reliable, has a good work ethic, trustworthy, and consistently demonstrates patience and good judgment in supporting and navigating the boys’ different personalities and everyday ups and downs.”
I'm Jennifer from Burlingame. I have more than 5 years of experience taking care of kids of different ages starting at 6 months old. I'm great taking care of kids and entertaining them with games and activities and at the same time teaching them things of daily life. I'm clean, responsible, patient, reliable, creative person, and a loving Nanny. I speak Spanish too, which is a bonus for your children. If you want I can start ASAP I am available Monday to Friday 9:00a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Looking forward to help your family!
Hi everyone! My name is Jhanine, I’m 22 years old and currently a nursing student pursuing my passion for caring for others. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for working with kids. There’s something so genuine, energetic, and joyful about being around children that really inspires me and reminds me why I chose nursing in the first place. Although I haven’t officially worked in a pediatric setting yet, I come from a big, loving, and caring family where looking out for one another is just part of who we are. Being surrounded by cousins, siblings, and family gatherings has naturally helped me develop patience, warmth, and a nurturing personality. Through babysitting, I’ve been able to bring that same positive, supportive energy and create a safe, fun, and caring environment for kids. I’m excited to continue growing in my nursing journey and hopefully work with children in the future, combining my education with the genuine care and compassion that comes from my family roots.

"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!"
