Rebecca D.

My name is Rebecca and I love being a sitter because kids are just awesome. I have 5 children of my own. 15yr, 13yr, 7yr, and 4yr old twins. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14yrs old for family and friends. I went to school for medical assistant and I’m certified. I know how to cook, clean, entertain kids, and most of all I treat all the kids I watch with love and respect as I do my own children. I sing songs with the little ones and like to do art and scavenger hunts. I’m bilingual so if you would like your child to learn Spanish I can do that as well. I’d like to say I have a lot of patience. The most kids I’ve watched all at once is 10 kids by myself from ages 3months to 16 years old. I’m flexible on hours and weekends if you need a night out.

I had the absolute privilege of having Rebecca with our family from my pregnancy through the first seven years of raising my three children, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she brought so much care, patience, and love into our home. She supported me during pregnancy and continued to be a steady, nurturing presence as my children grew. She treated my kids as if they were her own—always attentive, kind, and deeply invested in their well-being and development. Beyond childcare, she went above and beyond in every way. She helped with cooking delicious meals for the family, kept our home clean and organized, and made our daily lives run so much more smoothly. Her reliability and strong work ethic gave me such peace of mind, knowing everything was always taken care of. Most importantly, she created a safe, loving environment where my children could thrive. They adore her, and the bond she built with them over the years means so much to our family. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her. She is truly one of a kind.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping families. I am patient, gentle, caring, and responsible. I have 5 years of experience working in a preschool and after-school program, and 1 year of babysitting experience with infants and toddlers. Before coming to the U.S., I worked as a doctor in China, so I have a professional medical background and understand children’s health and safety very well.

Adriana’s Bio I am a former preschool teacher with 20 years of experience working with children. I have worked as a nanny/babysitter as well. I am a fun, loving person and offer more than the typical babysitter as I focus on supporting the overall development of children I work with. My experience ranges from newborn to middle school age, including children with special needs, as I hold a certificate of specialization in special needs education and have several years of experience working with diverse abilities. I have two children of my own; a 23 year old son and a 27 year old daughter, who graduated from Stanford with a Master’s degree. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, with perfect driving record, and registered with Trustline as an added level of trustworthiness. No house cleaning/cooking services offered. I don’t take care of sick children.

Adriana provided night care for our second child immediately following our return from the hospital. Throughout her time with us, she is very punctual, caring, and highly attentive to hygiene, wearing a mask while working with our newborn. She was very helpful on days when our baby experienced gassy periods, using effective techniques to ensure she was relieved and comfortable. Adriana is also very flexible and willing to adjust her start and end times to accommodate our needs. Adriana offered a calm and dependable presence that really helped us get a much needed break in the night so we are ready to handle our kids the next day. We highly recommend her!

Hi! I am a third-year psychology student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, with a strong background in child development and behavior. I’ve worked with children in various settings, including serving as an aide in a Spanish immersion preschool, as well as in my current role as a Behavioral Technician, where I support students from preschool through high school with both academic and emotional needs. I am CPR certified and hold a certification as a California Food Handler. I’m also bilingual in Spanish and English, with experience in meal preparation, routine management, homework assistance, and creating a calm, supportive environment for kids of all ages. I am patient and reliable, and I truly enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am currently available for part-time, evening, and weekend babysitting. I would be happy to provide references or discuss further to see if I am a good fit for your family.

We have really enjoyed working with Sofia. She has been a tremendous help to our family. She is professional, prompt, hardworking, and attentive to our children. She communicates very well and is highly responsible. If she arrived while the baby was already sleeping, she would jump right in to help clear the table and empty the dishwasher until he woke up. That was incredibly helpful, and I appreciated that I didn’t have to ask her. I recommend her!

Hello parents! My name is Erika and I hope that I can be the best sitter for you! I've been babysitting since I was a junior in high school, and I'm currently a junior at San Jose State. I love being a babysitter because engaging with kids is one of most rewarding experiences. You get to see them grow and develop and understand that way things work! They have the silliest imagination and give you a break from the scary reality of being an adult. I am also a tutor, I've tutored kids as young as 5 years old and as old as high schoolers! I'm a nursing student as well, so I believe that I have a more compassionate approach than most. I also have some life saving skills that I pray never to use during my time with you guys, but am always ready!

Aggie was wonderful with our kids age 3 and 5. She managed to get them to learn letters in a very playful manner. Our kids loved her! She paid them a lot of attention, and has a great way to not just leave them on the side but interact with them. This is really quite amazing.

Hi, my name is Jennifer everyone knows me as Jenny. I'm currently a student at De Anza College and employed through Apple. Im always looking for new opportunities to learn new skills to enhance my growth. I have been babysitting on my free time for quite some time now. I started with just family and now sometimes friends or recommendations. I know how hard it personally to trust a stranger with your kids because I'm a parent myself as well but I invite you to reach out to me get to know me and find out together if I'm the right fit for your family. I truly believe that every child can be unique in his or her own way and I hope to learn his or her personality and interests.So if you're looking for a few hours for a night out , date , or run errands I'd love to help. Thanks you, Jenny
