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!

***I am only available for occasional babysitting after 5pm on weekdays and some weekends. Thank you for understanding!*** I am an administrative professional who became a nanny during the pandemic. While I am no longer nannying full time, I am hoping to babysit occasionally for a few families long-term on evenings and weekends. I have experience with kids of all ages and absolutely love pets! I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID and am willing to mask, etc. I grew up doing theatre and love to entertain little ones with singing, dancing, reading aloud, etc! I had many different nannies growing up and know how important they are to a child's life. My friends would describe me as very reliable, conscientious, and caring. References happily provided upon request. I look forward to hearing from you! ------------------------------------------------------------ “Nina is incredibly patient, loving and helpful with our 6 month old son. She has always been very adaptable to our developing parenting styles (first time parents over here!) and she’s been very helpful in providing recommendations or additional context based on her previous nanny experiences. She is an excellent communicator and she regularly goes above and beyond to make our son as comfortable as possible and celebrate his baby milestones. She engages with our son through many activities including singing, reading, playing, going outside, tummy time and snuggles at nap time. I wish we could continue our time with Nina, but we are moving out of the state. If you are looking for a dependable and caring nanny, Nina will be a great fit for your family!” -Katie, February-June 2021

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 have my masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am currently a Clinical Supervisor and have been working with children with special needs (Autism) for 6 years ranging from the ages of 2 years old to 15 year old. I have experience with new born babies as well. I am very passionate about working with children of all ages. I have always loved baby sitting my cousins, nieces and nephews. My goal is to be able to lend a helping hand to families and get to know the kids. I am very creative and energetic. I am familiar at creating and/or following a structured routine. I do my best to always try to make the children feel comfortable and find ways to interact with them! I am CPR, AED & First Aid certified! I am looking to be more of a sitter for occasional sitting and/or date nights. If the times are after 5:30 pm weekdays, that is perfect. Weekends are open with advance notice!

Where do we even begin! If we could give Cindy a 10 star review we absolutely would. She took on two toddlers during our wedding ceremony, juggled two locations, all of our family, diaper changes, made them dinner afterward, pajamas, bedtime, I could go on and on. Mostly I wanted to say, my children trusted her right away and what more could we ask for? We felt such relief to see our youngest put her head down on to close in Cindy’s arms and our Three year old got her hair “braided like Elsa!” It made the day incredible and we will forever be in her debt, we will all be utilizing her services in any capacity as long as she’ll have us! Thank you Cindy!!!!!

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.

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!

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.
