Alyssa S., Nanny in San Mateo, CA 94403 with 6 years of paid experience

NOT CURRENTLY SEEKING RECURRING JOBS :) 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.

Lynn C., Nanny in San Mateo, CA 94403 with 11 years of paid experience

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 - [ ]

Lynn watched our 20 month old for two evenings while we were visiting from out of town. She was attentive, kind, trustworthy, and very professional. Lynn made us feel very comfortable and we could tell right away that our daughter was in good care. We love Nanny Lynn!

We have known Liliana for quite some time. We first met her when our son was three years old, and he is now 15 years old. She served as a babysitter for us for quite some time, including driving our son around the city for a different Sports practices. We have good things to say about Liliana. Now we are using her more for tasks around the house, as our son does not need a babysitter any longer. We, recommend Liliana without reservation. She’s very communicative and trustworthy. We can rely on her to house sitting while we’re gone as well. She’s definitely great with kids and very creatively entertaining them as well. Highly recommend her.

Elena marie H., Nanny in San Mateo, CA 94403 with 5 years of paid experience

I am the ultimate babysitter because I am a mother myself! If anyone knows what kids love, It's me. I know how to cook, play pretend, play tag, hide and seek, visit the local swimming pool, swim, teach swimming, read favorite books, take lots of pictures, bird watch, go on day trips, visit museums, the zoo and the list goes on. Being a kid at heart really helps to connect with children. I rarely meet a child who doesn't like me!

We hired Elena to be a full-time nanny to our three month old son. From the start she was extremely professional, on-time, and brought major confidence with all of her past experience. We love her high energy and strong work ethic. She has given so much love and support to the family already. 10/10 recommend hiring Elena

Ania talked to me ahead of her first time babysitting my 15-month-old, who has been struggling with “stranger danger” with new caretakers. She made me feel comfortable that she knew how to deal with that and had no issues working with a toddler who might need a little time to warm up to her. Things went really well and she was able to get the toddler to play with her. She paid attention to her cues and recognized that she was extra sleepy and needed bed earlier than we mentioned. Ania was on time, flexible and responsive when we checked in. Thank you Ania!

Brenda B., Nanny in San Mateo, CA 94403 with 3 years of paid experience

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 themselves. All while helping them have an environment to grow while fulfilling your 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 4 months - 10 years old, and I am Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified.
