Sittercity helps Ben Lomond families find the best babysitters

Hi! My name is Yoryia, and I am from San Jose. I am currently a college student finishing my degree fully online. I have been babysitting since I was 15 and I absolutely love kids. At my Greek Orthodox Church, I volunteer two days a week to direct a group of 30, 8 year old kids how to Greek dance, and I adore every single one of them. In my free time I love working out, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I can’t wait to meet you and your family!

Hi, My name is Katie, I have experience working with all age groups- infants, toddlers, and preteens. I love what I do! I have been a nanny for about 10 years... Everyday is packed full of fun-making cookies out of clay, playing cars, talking about cartoons, packing picnics for the park, counting, learning colors, learning manners, speech development, sharing, playing with peers, bike rides/wagon rides all around the neighborhood and more. During the years (2017- March 2020), I cared for 3 children - 2 girls and 1 boy. Their ages were 6, 4 and 2. I was with them for a little over 2 years. My hours were from 9am to 3pm in the Summer and 9am to 5pm during the school year. My job duties included entertaining the children with various activities (soccer, arts and crafts, card/board games, baking, ect), drop-offs/pick-ups from school, hosting playdates, helping with homework, as well grocery shopping and keeping the house tidy. I miss the family very much. At the end of 2020, I worked with a temp agency and I was matched with a lovely family with 3 young children. They were 5 months, 4 and 6 years old. We did a lot of fun activities at home due to Covid. We read books, baked cookies, jumped on the trampoline, played games, and sang songs. And I continue to do on-call/temp work for them until I can find something permanent. I would love to meet you and your family to see if I would be a good fit- My availability is 8am to 4pm. I love what I do and hope to hear back from you soon. My rate is $35 per hour. Thank you, Katie

My name is Jany. I am 46 years old. I have an 8yo daughter. I am very flexible, organized, patient, hardworking, trustworthy and reliable. I love cooking, sketching, painting, photography, reading, dancing and being around with kids. I was a preschool/elementary teacher for ten years. I became a child care provider simply because I love children and I enjoy being with them. I took care of newborns to 5 year olds in Manhattan/Brooklyn(New York)/NJ, and CA. I’m a widow. I’m the only one watching my daughter so I may have to bring her with me (when she has no classes), only if it is ok with you. Thank you in advance.

I’m a current college student studying public health and have open availability most afternoons and weekends. I’ve been babysitting for several years and have also been a live in camp counselor for children aged 14 and up. I love getting creative with coming up with fun activities and would feel confident to help with tutoring as needed for school aged children. I am also comfortable to help with meal prepping and general cleaning while babysitting. Finally, I am CPR and first aid certified as well.

Hi, I’m Colette (Coco) Dougher! I absolutely love being a sitter because every day with kids is different—whether it’s playing pretend, helping with homework, or calming a fussy baby, I truly enjoy being a supportive and positive part of a child’s day. Babysitting has been one of the most meaningful and fun parts of my life over the last five years. I’ve worked with a wide range of families and cared for children from infancy through the teenage years. I’m comfortable managing busy schedules, helping with school pickups, driving to sports or activities, preparing meals, and handling bedtime routines. I’ve also built strong, lasting relationships with families—many of whom are happy to provide references. In terms of skills and training, I’m a safe and responsible driver with years of experience transporting kids safely. I’m dependable, communicative, and calm under pressure. I also go the extra mile by helping keep things tidy—whether it’s doing light household cleaning or guiding kids to clean up their rooms and take pride in their space. I’m always happy to pitch in and make things easier for parents. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and support your childcare needs!

Hi my name is Tanya! I have been around kids all my life since my mom had an at home daycare so she could work and raise my younger sister and I. Being around infants and toddlers all my life I have learned how to work and handle whatever situation gets thrown my way. I started working with kids on my own at the young age of 13 being a babysitter for my neighbors and watching their kids while they went out on date nights. As I got older I got recommended to other families by my neighgors and started getting more and more families to fill my weekends and sometimes even week nights. At the age of 19 I started my first nanny job (another referral) with a family I had never met. They needed someone to watch their 7 week old baby girl FULL TIME! I was on winter break from college so I said I could help. Flash forward four and a half years later and I still work with them, but only part time since I'm still in school. Our families have become very close and I even went on vacation with them to watch the kids while they went out on the town. I go to San Jose SU and through referrals I have also managed to connect with great families to work for over the hill. I live in San Jose part time and then come home to Soquel on the weekend, so I can work at either place. I have tons of great referrals upon request and all families are available to call and eager to talk about their experience working with me. What I will do: Pick up and drop off kids after school Take kids to after school activities Help with homework Feed kids Prep them for bed time Get them to bed on time (you tell me their bed time they will be in bed on the dot no excuses) Other respnsilities you need we can talk about them and discuss what I will and won't do. I love working with infants (I've always wanted to work with twins) and children under the age on 12. I am CPR certified And I have loads of energy to spend time playing with your kids be it indoors or outdoors.

I am seeking a part-time position currently available Monday and Wednesday 1:00pm to anytime and Thursday and Friday all day with the possibility of working on weekends as needed.

I am patient and enjoy building relationships with the children, and I am adept at adapting to different personalities. feel free to email or call to set up a interview with me, can't wait to meet your little ones !!

I graduated college in 2022 with a BA in Neuroscience focusing on human development and behavior. The last 6-8 years I have provided childcare (0-14 years old) across swim lessons, coaching, tutoring, creating writing classes, and standard babysitting. I am First Aid and CPR certified and also comfortable with multiple pets. Currently, I am studying for the MCAT and looking to baby sit part-time, preferably week-nights. I have my own car and comfortable with meal prep, grocery shopping, laundry, house chores, and extracurricular activities. I enjoy working with many different personalities and familiar with sibling dynamics, as an older sister myself. I also have experience in healthcare attending to patient's physical, social, and emotional needs.

My name is Heron Yosief Haile and I am 25 years old. I was born in Eritrea, East Africa and speak English, Tigrigna, and basic Spanish(still learning and practicing). I grew up in a large family with many siblings and cousins who led by example how to care for your younger siblings and cousins. I love being a sitter because children are funny, insightful, and I always learn from them as they do from me. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily connect kids and adults about their own interests from animals, arts, books, music, sports, etc. My philosophy for caring for children is giving them agency (depending on age) and allowing them to guide me in what activities we engage in (within parental parameters). I am patient, kind, firm, creative in finding solutions, and lead by example.

Hi! My name is Bethy and I am a 23 years old collage student. I started babysitting since I was 18 years old with kids age range between 1 - 12 years of age. I love kids! I'm a believer that every kid in the world need to be given love and encouragement in order to grow up with a positive mind. One kid can change the world! we are responsible to direct them to the right path. You can count on me with your child! What makes me different? I don't take my job lightly and I always try my best to give the best service that I could possibly can.
