Lynn C., Babysitter in El Granada, CA 94018 with 11 years of paid experience

I’m a thoughtful & caring nanny who has 8 years experience. I adapt quickly into most situations. I love kids & wish I’d have had 5 instead of 2. I’ve worked with newborns, infants, babies & toddlers up to age 15; with 1 child & as many as 4 children at a time. I offer fresh & nutritionally balanced meals & snacks. I handle sleep training if needed, pick ups, drop offs & general household assistance depending on your needs. I maintain kid’s pantry, grocery shop & run errands. I bring age appropriate developmental activities, indoors & outdoors. For example: swimming, mini golf, baseball, beach time, & developmental activities like art, reading, computer, math, legos, & constructive free play. I believe in outings to the parks, museums, movies, & beaches. I’m seeking a great families who need a hand. I am Covid protocol compliant including my vaccines and booster. My varied experience, judgement, patience, energy, education, fitness, & love of play based learning is a great contribution to the right family! Thanks! Lynn - [ ]

Lynn watched our 20 month old for two evenings while we were visiting from out of town. She was attentive, kind, trustworthy, and very professional. Lynn made us feel very comfortable and we could tell right away that our daughter was in good care. We love Nanny Lynn!

Kristi E., Babysitter in El Granada, CA 94018 with 14 years of paid experience

I’m a warm, grounded caregiver who focuses on helping children feel truly seen, safe, and understood. My approach is rooted in mindful communication, emotional awareness, and creating a calm, consistent environment where children can explore, express themselves, and build confidence. I support early communication and independence through tools like baby sign language, offering choices, and guiding children through big feelings with patience and empathy. I value play-based learning, outdoor time, creativity, and simple daily routines that help children feel secure and engaged. As a mother, I bring a deeply attuned and intuitive presence to my work. I understand how important trust, consistency, and emotional safety are in a child’s development, and I approach each family with care and respect for their unique rhythm. I have experience caring for children from infancy through school age, including supporting siblings, managing routines, and creating engaging, screen-free days filled with play, learning, and connection. I aim to be a steady, positive presence that feels like an extension of the home. I offer a flexible rate range depending on the level of support needed and am always open to a thoughtful conversation about what feels aligned for both the family and myself.

We’re so grateful to have found Kristi, who has been nannying for us 3 days/week. Our infant had a lot of separation anxiety to begin with, and Kristi was very patient, giving her plenty of time to warm up and get used to having another caregiver around. Our daughter now loves spending time with her, and it’s such a relief to know she’s well-cared for. Kristi is happy to take our lead on care instructions but also creative in coming up with fun ways to entertain her. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kristi!

Ania talked to me ahead of her first time babysitting my 15-month-old, who has been struggling with “stranger danger” with new caretakers. She made me feel comfortable that she knew how to deal with that and had no issues working with a toddler who might need a little time to warm up to her. Things went really well and she was able to get the toddler to play with her. She paid attention to her cues and recognized that she was extra sleepy and needed bed earlier than we mentioned. Ania was on time, flexible and responsive when we checked in. Thank you Ania!

Sharon V., Babysitter in El Granada, CA 94018 with 10 years of paid experience

I have over ten years of experience caring for children, and I truly have a passion for this work. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to provide children with love, patience, guidance, and support during their most formative years. In addition to childcare, I also have experience cooking for families and helping manage household responsibilities. I enjoy creating a comfortable, organized, and welcoming environment where both the children and parents feel supported. My goal is not only to care for the children, but also to build a trusting relationship with the entire family. I want parents to feel comfortable and confident knowing that their children and home are in caring and capable hands. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your family and your needs, and to discuss how my experience and approach to childcare and household support could be a great fit for you. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!

We have had the pleasure of working with Sharon, who has helped care for our two children—a three-year-old daughter and a sixteen-month-old son. She is incredibly attentive and caring with both kids, and they absolutely like her. From the moment she arrives, they are excited and run to her for hugs. She engages with them through play, singing, and reading. Sharon is also very proactive and dependable. She notices what needs to be done and is always willing to step in and help. Communication with her is smooth, and she is respectful of our routines and preferences. Her positive energy and genuine love for children give us peace of mind when she is with them.

Joella O., Babysitter in El Granada, CA 94018 with 30 years of paid experience

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.

JoElla was awesome! She took great care of our 6mo baby girl before she went to daycare. She is very detail-oriented, caring, responsible, and communicative. She helped my daughter stay on the age-appropriate schedule, got her used to bottle feeding, and helped her developmentally through various playtime activities. My daughter used to only take crap naps but with Jo she started taking longer naps! We were amazed. We look forward to working with Jo again in the future!

We have known Liliana for quite some time. We first met her when our son was three years old, and he is now 15 years old. She served as a babysitter for us for quite some time, including driving our son around the city for a different Sports practices. We have good things to say about Liliana. Now we are using her more for tasks around the house, as our son does not need a babysitter any longer. We, recommend Liliana without reservation. She’s very communicative and trustworthy. We can rely on her to house sitting while we’re gone as well. She’s definitely great with kids and very creatively entertaining them as well. Highly recommend her.

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 themselves. All while helping them have an environment to grow while fulfilling your 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 4 months - 10 years old, and I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
