Find a wedding babysitter in San Mateo, CA

Hi- My name is Bella. I work Monday- Thursday and am looking for a babysitting job for Fridays. I am the oldest of 3 and started babysitting when I was 15. I have 10+ years of experience with ages 4 months and up. I have 7 yrs of experience working with children with Downs Syndrome as well. I am comfortable with kids going through periods of being fussy or having a hard time being away from their parents. I like to keep them engaged with whatever fits their developmental stage whether that be reading books, singing, going to the park, or playing games around the house. If the kids have chores or responsibilities around the house I will make sure they get done if needed. I am CRP and first aid certified and have had experience with medical emergencies. Those moments showed me the importance of being trained in life saving procedures. I am proud to say in those moments my training helped me stay calm and take appropriate action. I have a Honda Civic and don’t mind taking kids places or running errands. I am open to light house keeping like dishes, laundry, and cooking. I grew up in Petaluma and am very close with my family. In my free time I enjoy exploring the city, hiking, and hanging out with friends.

I have 5 years of experience caring for children from 3 months to 12 years old, always with love, patience, and reliability. I am fluent in English, a native Portuguese speaker, a pharmacist in Brazil, certified in First Aid and CPR, and trained in child care for lab tests with experience in hospital routines. I also have volunteer experience in daycare centers for low-income families, knowledge of sleep training and baby-led weaning, excellent references, and I’m fully vaccinated. I own a car, have insurance, and a clean driving record.

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.

Hello! My name is Paula (children call me Lala/Yaga) and I’m a fun and caring 30-year-old with over 10 years of experience working with children. Throughout the years, I’ve worked as an au pair, live-in nanny, full-time nanny, co-teacher at a Reggio Emilia inspired school in Brazil, and most recently as a teacher at a nonprofit organization supporting families at risk and children with diverse medical needs. I also spent four years as a family consultant/caregiver for an amazing family in San Francisco, supporting them through infancy and toddlerhood while helping create a safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environment. I’m currently a master’s student at SF State for Early Childhood Education with concentration in Special Needs. Caring for children has always been my passion. I love seeing their excitement as they learn something new and the way they view the world with such imagination. I’m proactive, responsible, and have wonderful references from my past positions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love the chance to share my experience and work with your family! Warmly, Paula

Hi! My name is Andee, and I bring over 10 years of childcare experience working primarily with children ages 4-12, along with 7 years of experience as an educator. After working as a special education and elementary school teacher, I am now earning my credential in mathematics to become a middle school teacher. I love incorporating learning into everyday moments and am always happy to support with homework or provide math tutoring during our time together at no extra cost. I’ve led summer enrichment programs including science and cooking camps, so I enjoy creating engaging, structured activities. I also greatly value the importance of unstructured play and giving kids the space to relax, explore, and be themselves. I strive to find a thoughtful balance between fun, creativity, and gentle structure. I have experience working with neurodivergent children and take on a collaborative, individualized approach, partnering closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs so they can feel supported, comfortable, and confident. One of my personal passions is financial literacy, and I love finding age-appropriate ways to introduce simple money mindset concepts through fun, optional activities (only if this is something your family is interested in!). I’m a big animal lover and grew up with pets: currently I have two cats, Dougie and Mac (named after rappers), and a sweet dog named Mila, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals. I also have a reliable car and a clean driving record. Above all, I aim to create a warm, positive, and dependable environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to spend time together. Due to my full-time work + school schedule, my availability isn't as open as I would like. However, I do occasionally have weekend or night openings when schedules align, so feel free to reach out. I’d love to connect and see if I might be a good fit for your family! 😊
