Michelle $45 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Michelle :) I am currently a graduate student enrolled in a school psychology program. I have 7+ years of working with children (2-18y) with special needs in private settings and schools. I’ve also babysat for family members and friends. I am offering childcare and household services, such as laundry, school pick-ups and daily errands. I love music ( I’ve taught my sister how to play the piano!) and all things sports. If you’re looking for someone who’s very involved with play and conversation, comfortable with behavioral needs, or someone who can be kind yet firm, I’m the one for you!

Booked by 1 family in Stanford, CA

A retired educator who adores working with children. Trained in the Socratic method. Bring age-relevant games to an assignment, and/or encourage children to use their imaginations. Families say there is more laughter in their house when I am around. Have worked as an occasional nanny/tutor for the past 8 years for over 100 Silicon Valley families. Excellent driver. Have never had a no show in my 8 years. I travel extensively when not working, going to such far flung places as the Arctic Circle to see the Northern Lights.

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.
