Deeply grounded in mindful communication, my caregiving approach centers on helping little ones feel truly seen, safe, and understood. Tools like baby sign language, "toddler-ese," and the "fast-food rule" allow children to express themselves with greater ease, reducing frustration and building a foundation of trust. I nurture autonomy by offering choices whenever possible, and welcome big feelings with calm presence and compassion. Magical thinking — the kind that turns a spoon into a spaceship or a whisper into a wish — is one of the qualities I cherish most in children… and in myself. Protecting and participating in that wonder feels like sacred work. Being a mom has been the most fulfilling and life-shaping experience of my life — one that’s taught me how deeply trust, attunement, and presence matter in caring for little ones. Supporting another family in this way is an honor I don’t take lightly. Whether I'm with a toddler exploring autonomy, or a school-aged child managing big emotions, my goal is always the same: to offer warmth, consistency, and care that feels like an extension of their home. Recently, I’ve had the joy of caring for two sweet siblings, whose days are filled with songs, stories, art, and outdoor play. With them (and all the children I support), I create a space where kids feel safe to be themselves — heard, valued, and held through all their feelings. Earlier in life, I worked as an au pair caring for two middle school brothers — picking them up after school, helping with homework, preparing snacks, and providing a calm, structured rhythm until their dad returned from work. More than just overseeing routines, I became a trusted part of their day-to-day life, offering reliability and grounding through the after-school hours. I offer a wide rate range (\$35–50/hr) because I know every family is different, and so is the kind of support that’s needed. Some just want someone calm and loving to show up with energy and joy. Others are navigating transitions, sibling dynamics, or emotional growth — and I’m here for all of it. I'm always open to a heartfelt conversation about what feels fair and aligned, based on the care you’re looking for and what I can offer in return.

I ran 43 daycares for 16 years on the East Coast and was a nanny both in Maryland and in California after the selling of the daycares. I have also taught swimming, art, and dance to young children. I developed the curriculum for the daycares and trained the teaching staff. I have worked with thousands of children over a long career and still receive Christmas cards for children that are now in high school and college. I have over 2000 hours of Early childhood education and am a member of multiple teaching websites and stay up to date on current changes and teaching methods. I have been certified in CPR and first aid for years and have used it successfully in an emergency situation. I completed a class in CPR and First aid in May 2020 at the College of San Mateo and have been certified for many years. I am up to date on current trends such as Baby-led weening and other new techniques. I maintain a log so that the parents know what is happening with their young children. The log includes food and milk intake, diaper activity, nap length, and any observations that need to be passed on. I also take children to parks and pools or other activities. I am vaccinated and Covid careful. I also have multiple references from my past nanny positions. I have a pre-school and art program that I have developed and use currently. I enjoy working with children and building their confidence using music and art. I like to include active learning exercises that keep the children engaged. Singing is a constant part of my day-to-day interaction with the children I care for. I have 5 large Rubbermaid containers filled with games, art supplies, pre-school lessons and a storyboard with many different stories. All geared to develop confidence and build their learning capabilities. My rate is based not only on the market rate but hours and needs. When you hire me you are getting a professional that also becomes part of the family. I am currently looking for a position that is no less than 20 hours and no more than 40 hours a week. If you would like to hire me but don't have a total of 32 hours I am open to a salary amount that pays at the 32-hour rate when under the needed hours. I request five days of paid sick leave, two weeks of paid vacation the first year. Guaranteed salary based on the minimum hours. If this is something that you agree with I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello everyone, I am an army veteran and a mother to a 5 month old baby. I have spent the last five years in Germany and now find myself here in California where my husband calls home. I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs of any sort. Any position I take, must allow me to bring my baby with me. I understand this is not everyone's ideal situation, but for those willing to take a chance on this dynamic, I promise you I am bringing both the love and care of someone who is a mother herself, and the affordability of someone who understands how expensive childcare is. I searched myself for daycare and realized it is far too unaffordable to most families. If you have any concern that I will place my child above your own, I can promise you that is not the case, if anything being a mother makes me capable of protecting and caring for your child as if he or she were my own. I am very honest and friendly. I have tons of imaginative games as ideas for your children and me to play. I love going to the playground and can find the best ways to entertain your little ones without relying too much on screens. If you are looking for a competitive rate for a babysitter in this area and also want someone who knows the trenches of motherhood, I am your babysitter.

Hello my name is Brenda and I am a Latina female. When it comes to being a sitter I love every part of it. Especially having the opportunity to see the personality of the child, and the amazing person they become while providing a safe, fun and caring environment where they feel safe to be theirselves. All while helping them have an environment to grow while fulfilling the family’s needs. A little about me: I speak fluent English and Spanish and I am currently learning ASL (American Sign Language) and am studying to major in nursing. I previously have taken care of kids ages 8 months - 9 years old, and I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.

I do have kids who are all grown up. Take good care of my cousins kids when they are young. I breed dogs back in the home so I could work with pets too.
