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.

Hello, my name is Alex, and I am a fun-loving sitter with 8 years of experience including special needs. I have a very flexible schedule during evenings and weekends and can work last minute if needed. I have two younger brothers who are 9 and 11 who I’ve babysat for years, along with various other preschool, elementary, and middle school aged children and siblings. I recently graduated college with a psychology degree where I was fortunate to learn a lot of about child development as well! I love art, music, and sports, so I can help keep your youngster entertained! I am happy to take on other tasks such as prepping meals, cleaning, transportation, and animal care. I can also help with bedtime routines and stay late or overnight if needed. I am currently a nanny/house helper from 1:30-5:30 M-F for a San Carlos family with a 3, 6, and 8 year old, so I am available outside that time block. I look forward to hearing from you!

Having Alex as part of our family in the spring was wonderful. She provided both nanny and babysitting services for our 3 and 6 year old boys. She helped keep the house tidy, drove my boys to activities, and made sure they were entertained, off the screens, and in bed when they were supposed to be.

She was awesome with our toddler, who is very picky with who she warms up to. She also cared for our infant weekly before he got into daycare. She’s trustworthy and has a calm energy :).

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!

Alyssa is a gem! She is kind, patient, caring, and reliable. Both of my kids look forward to seeing her, and love spending time with her. I feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and highly recommend her as a babysitter.

Jeanette was our part-time nanny (20 hrs per week) in Livermore for our twin boys from when they were 6 months old to almost 2 years (2012 - 2013). She is professional, friendly, energetic and wonderful with the boys. She also helped out around the house with some light housework. She truly loves what she does and it comes through every day. Jeanette was really a dream come true because we quickly felt perfectly safe leaving our children and our home in her care, and we were never disappointed. The only reason we can't hire her anymore is because we moved out of the area.

As a native of the SF Bay Area, I have a background in psychology & studied child development.

Robin did a great job taking care of our 2 year old on two occasions. They played with toys, read books, listened to music, and had snacks, and he had a great time. She was very communicative in advance, which we appreciated, and seems very responsible.

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.

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.
