Nicole A., Babysitter in Penryn, CA 95663 with 11 years of paid experience

I have been babysitting for other families for 11 years now. I have experience working with children 3 months to 18+ years of age. I obtained my Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy, so I also have experience with children who have special needs and/or medical complexities. I am comfortable watching multiple children at once, as I have previously worked for daycare centers. I enjoy facilitating various activities for kids that are both fun and educational. Several other duties that I've helped with include small meal prep, homework help, and light house cleaning. As I do have a primary full-time job, I am only looking to pick up occasional gigs (my availability may be flexible depending on the date(s) and times requested). Please feel free to contact me at anytime if you are looking for help! :)

Kelly D., Babysitter in Penryn, CA 95663 with 3 years of paid experience

With over 30 years of hands-on experience nurturing children of all ages, I bring a lifelong passion and natural gift for childcare. Affectionately known as “The Baby Whisperer,” I have an intuitive ability to connect with infants and young children—creating joyful, engaging, and enriching environments wherever I go. Children are naturally drawn to me, and I truly speak their language—whether I’m soothing a newborn, connecting with a toddler, or helping a preschooler learn through play. I am currently work with children with special needs ranging in age from 3 to 26, as well as supporting 4th and 5th graders in school settings. These roles have strengthened my ability to provide individualized, compassionate care while fostering confidence and independence in each child. I’ve had the privilege of nannying for two wonderful families and raising my own children while being a stay-at-home mom for over 36 years. Caring for children doesn’t feel like work—it’s what brings me joy and purpose. I love to sing with children, do arts and crafts, and play both indoor and outdoor games. I weave learning into everyday activities—teaching letters, shapes, colors, and phonics in playful, creative ways. Time outside is one of my favorite things, whether we’re exploring nature, playing in the dirt (when allowed!), or enjoying movement and fresh air. I also have experience teaching swimming and helping children feel confident and safe in the water. I’ve completed 12 units in Early Childhood Development and am currently pursuing a degree in Child Development, giving me a strong foundation in how children grow, learn, and thrive. I’m also pursuing studies in Physical Education to support motor development and encourage active, healthy lifestyles. Highlights: 30+ years caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens Experience with children with special needs (ages 3–26) and elementary school students College coursework in Child Development CPR/First Aid certified Passionate about music, creative arts, outdoor play, and learning through fun Open to roles as a nanny, caregiver, or “bonus grandma” My Philosophy: Children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged. My goal is to create joyful, structured spaces where they feel free to explore, grow, and become the amazing individuals they’re meant to be.

Kelly has been with our family for the past 10 months, caring for our son since he was just 6 months old. We have three kids, are two working parents, occasionally travel for work, and have a schedule that seems to change constantly, so having someone we can genuinely count on has been incredibly important to us. Kelly has been that person. What stands out most to me is that she doesn’t just come in and “watch the baby.” She pays attention to him. As he’s grown and changed, she’s taken an interest in figuring out what he needs at each stage. She’ll bring over or suggest a new sensory toy or activity because she thinks he’s ready for it, work with him on whatever milestone he’s tackling, and look for things they can do outside the house. She takes him for walks or to the park almost every day and has even researched things like library music and story times that they could do together. She also notices the little things. If he suddenly isn’t eating as much, his naps start changing, or something just seems a little off, she brings it up. I’ve really appreciated that, especially since he’s gone through so many changes during his first year - teething, growth spurts, transitioning to a bottle, crawling to walking... the list goes on! Another big thing for our family has been Kelly’s flexibility. Our schedule isn’t always predictable, and over the past year we’ve had plenty of days where plans changed or we needed to adjust things. She has consistently been easy to communicate with and willing to work with us, which has made our lives so much easier. We are sadly moving on from having a nanny, simply because we now have three kiddos headed to three different schools/programs, and financially and logistically it makes more sense for our family. We’ve been extremely happy with Kelly and would keep her if our family circumstances weren’t changing. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to a family looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and truly engaged with their child (or children! She is amazing with our other two kids as well and has occasionally watched all three together). More than anything, I trust Kelly with our son. He is SO happy to see her when she arrives, and it’s obvious that she cares about him too. She has been such an important part of his first year, and we are really going to miss having her here. For me, that says a lot more than anything else I could put in a review. <3

Jadyn D., Babysitter in Penryn, CA 95663 with 2 years of paid experience

I am currently going to school to be an elementary school teacher. As the middle child of six, I am fond of children and have many years of experience when it comes to taking care of and watching kids. I would consider myself a super upbeat and sociable person so I get along with people, especially kids, pretty easily. As an older sister, I know how hard it can be to be responsible for kids 24/7, so while I go to school I would love to help ease the stress of full-time parents!

Alyssa was a trusted and reliable, sweet and caring, fun and timely, awesome nanny. My little Luna was safe and sound being cared for and driven, i didn’t have to worry about anything. She even tidied and cleaned up when she could which was more than i expected and very welcomed. Nanny’s like Alyssa are the reason parents like me can get the help we need without predatory daycares. Thank you!

Taylor  D., Babysitter in Penryn, CA 95663 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I absolutely love working with kids and helping families feel supported and comfortable. As the oldest of 5 children, I’ve spent most of my life caring for younger siblings and cousins, giving me years of hands-on childcare experience with children ranging from ages 4–13, along with experience helping care for babies and toddlers as well. I’m experienced with diaper changes, bottle feeding, bedtime routines, keeping kids entertained, helping with homework, and managing daily care needs in a patient and responsible way. Being around children has always come naturally to me, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. In addition to childcare, I also have experience caring for different kinds of pets, so I’m very comfortable in homes with animals and can help with pet care if needed. I’m dependable, nurturing, organized, and always willing to help however I can!
