I am currently working in a TK classroom at an elementary school in Santa Clara. I also go to school full time. I would like to pick up some occasional babysitting hours in the evenings and on weekends. I have always enjoyed working with children and their families. I have past experience with all ages, infant through school age. My job titles included babysitter, teacher' s aide, teacher and center director. I began babysitting for family friends in high school and later moved on to child care center based positions. I did take a break to be at home with my daughter and was able to take some ECE classes as well. I have experience as the primary caregiver at a nursery center for ages 6 months to 2 years. I was also the director of a Child Development Center as well as a before and after school teacher. I have also cared for young children in my home which included overnight accommodations as needed by the families. I really enjoy a play based atmosphere.

Hello! My name is Amada, and I’ve had the joy of caring for children and supporting Bay Area families for the past 15 years. I’m currently offering dependable backup care for times when your regular caregiver isn’t available. My love for children began early as the oldest of 10 and grew even deeper through the experience of raising my own twins, who are now college graduates. I especially enjoy caring for newborns through age 7 and have lots of experience with twins and multiples. I love creating a calm, nurturing environment with storytelling, age-appropriate play, and plenty of warmth and encouragement. I’m also currently training to become a certified infant sleep consultant and enjoy supporting new parents with gentle routines and postpartum care. I’d love to be a trusted helping hand when your family needs one!

Hi! I’m taking time off from studying behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at UCSD and looking for occasional work. I started volunteering at a daycare that my high school had and fell in love with it. I found kids energy, excitement for life, curiosity, and imagination to be contagious. I am a caring, compassionate, patient person which makes it easy for me to interact with kids. After babysitting for over 5 years and working with different families I have gained experience with kids of all ages. I have CPR training, am fully vaccinated and also had my booster shot.

“Great service, she took good care of both of our kids. Very professional and would highly recommend.”

Hello families, I am Merve, and I am 28 years old. I have experience with kids for more than 5 years. I am looking for part time/occasional jobs. I am fully vaccinated and have my own car. Thank you!

“Absolutely an exceptional babysitter. She jumped right into our challenging and unstructured job (watching our kids during a dinner party), and really won the kids over. They loved her! I appreciated her flexibility, professionalism, and warmth toward the children.”

Hi! I'm Ashley and I’m a middle school science teacher and volleyball coach. My whole life I’ve been working with kids of all ages, at summer camps, sports teams, etc. Before becoming a middle school teacher, I substitute taught at elementary schools and even lived in New Zealand as an au pair, working with two boys, 4 and 6 years old. I am very busy at the moment where I can only take on occasional jobs, usually on the weekends or holiday breaks. Nonetheless, please reach out if you think we’d be a good fit!

“Ashley was awesome, kids loved her! ”
