Hi! My name is Alyssa Shipman, and I’m a college student studying at College of San Mateo. I have over seven years of babysitting experience working with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens—and absolutely love helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and positive environment. I also have experience as a swim instructor and a Transitional Kindergarten Teacher Aide, which has strengthened my skills in child supervision, safety, and early learning support. I’m CPR and AED certified, dependable, and great at keeping kids engaged through creative activities, outdoor play, and structured routines. I take pride in being responsible, patient, and fun—someone kids feel comfortable with and parents can trust. Whether you need occasional help or regular care, I’d love to support your family and ensure your children are happy, active, and well cared for!

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.

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.

I’m a warm, grounded caregiver who focuses on helping children feel truly seen, safe, and understood. My approach is rooted in mindful communication, emotional awareness, and creating a calm, consistent environment where children can explore, express themselves, and build confidence. I support early communication and independence through tools like baby sign language, offering choices, and guiding children through big feelings with patience and empathy. I value play-based learning, outdoor time, creativity, and simple daily routines that help children feel secure and engaged. As a mother, I bring a deeply attuned and intuitive presence to my work. I understand how important trust, consistency, and emotional safety are in a child’s development, and I approach each family with care and respect for their unique rhythm. I have experience caring for children from infancy through school age, including supporting siblings, managing routines, and creating engaging, screen-free days filled with play, learning, and connection. I aim to be a steady, positive presence that feels like an extension of the home. I offer a flexible rate range depending on the level of support needed and am always open to a thoughtful conversation about what feels aligned for both the family and myself.

Kristi is so kind, warm and knowledgeable! She’s been very understanding of our new parent anxieties and is so gentle and loving with our son. We know he’s in great hands when she’s watching him.

I have ten years of experience caring for children. I have a passion for this work because I know how important it is to support children during their most formative years, being a mother myself. 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.

We have had the pleasure of working with Sharon, who has helped care for our two children—a three-year-old daughter and a sixteen-month-old son. She is incredibly attentive and caring with both kids, and they absolutely like her. From the moment she arrives, they are excited and run to her for hugs. She engages with them through play, singing, and reading. Sharon is also very proactive and dependable. She notices what needs to be done and is always willing to step in and help. Communication with her is smooth, and she is respectful of our routines and preferences. Her positive energy and genuine love for children give us peace of mind when she is with them.

I’m a thoughtful & caring nanny who has 8 years experience. I adapt quickly into most situations. I love kids & wish I’d have had 5 instead of 2. I’ve worked with newborns, infants, babies & toddlers up to age 15; with 1 child & as many as 4 children at a time. I offer fresh & nutritionally balanced meals & snacks. I handle sleep training if needed, pick ups, drop offs & general household assistance depending on your needs. I maintain kid’s pantry, grocery shop & run errands. I bring age appropriate developmental activities, indoors & outdoors. For example: swimming, mini golf, baseball, beach time, & developmental activities like art, reading, computer, math, legos, & constructive free play. I believe in outings to the parks, museums, movies, & beaches. I’m seeking a great families who need a hand. I am Covid protocol compliant including my vaccines and booster. My varied experience, judgement, patience, energy, education, fitness, & love of play based learning is a great contribution to the right family! Thanks! Lynn - [ ]

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.

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.

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!

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.

I do have kids who are all grown up. Take good care of my cousins kids when they are young. I breed dogs back in the home so I could work with pets too.
