I have 5 years of experience working in a preschool and after-school program, and 1 year of babysitting experience with infants and toddlers.

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!

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.

My patient and friendly nature allows me to connect easily with children and build strong, trusting relationships with them. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules and routines to ensure a structured and disciplined environment. I love playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. My goal is to provide a well-rounded and enjoyable experience for the children in my care. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, and I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens.
