Find experienced babysitters in Half Moon Bay, CA

I've been a mothers helper since the age of 10. I've grown up in Daycares as my mother has always worked with kids, I've had to tag along. I've helped out at two Daycares my self and helped out with both the infants and toddlers. I am currently working with a family of 3 (10,14, and16) and no longer needed as much as before. i am very loving and caring and most importantly very patient. I'll have a very flexible schedule. I am a full time student at Foothill Community College and tend to work my school schedule around my work schedule when possible.

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 am an experienced, reliable, and caring nanny with a passion for supporting children's growth, development, and happiness. I have cared for children from infancy to school age as a Teacher Assistant in Brazil, as a nanny for families in the U. S., and as an Au Pair. With CPR and First Aid certifications, as well as an RPC certificate from my pre-Au Pair training, I am well-prepared in child development, safety, and positive discipline. I also hold a technical degree in Nutrition (Brazil), which allows me to support healthy meals and habits. I provide attentive care, engaging activities, homework support, and help with daily routines, always creating a safe, structured, and joyful environment. I am trustworthy, patient, and proactive. I have my own car and a clean driving record. My top priority is always respecting the parents' choices and preferences. I would be happy to share my full CV upon request.

I want families to feel like I am there for them and there for them to feel comfortable with me. I look forward to hearing from you so we can discuss my experience and how it would fit in to accommodating your needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Since I was in the second grade I have known that I wanted to work with children.  I strongly believe that children deserve the best environment and role models to foster their development.  I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old and caring for children is a passion of mine; as children should have the best possible influences in order to become successful citizens of the future.  With the aid of my education, focusing on child development and behavioral psychology, I believe I can foster the type of environment that is nurturing and encourage a child’s mental and social development.  I have many unique skills as I have tutored children diagnosed with Autism, helping them learn daily living, speaking, peer interaction, and play skills. I have taken two semesters of American Sign Language at the University level. I have studied abroad in Europe and consider myself a cultured and open minded individual.  I have experience as a Nanny for a family with an infant and a toddler as well as for a family with two children ages 6 and 9. (please see child care info). I have worked for the Palo Alto Unified School district as a teacher aide for special education preK-5 grade, as well as at Edgewood Center for Children and Families (non public school and group home). I also have held nanny positions for an infants, toddlers and school age children.   I have experience cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, and projects, as well as playing games and making my time with children enjoyable and fun. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with B.A. in psychology. I am a recent graduate with a MS in Occupational Therapy focusing on working with children with special needs, behavioral management, sensory processing skills, fine and gross motor skills. I am well organized, hard working, have managed the family budget in regards to grocery shopping, running errands, taking children on play dates to the zoo etc. I do well under pressure and with multitasking, I am a team player, flexible and a person of integrity.  I look forward to speaking with you about how I can contribute to your family’s future.
